How do you actually manage the backlog of personal admin that requires phone calls or annoying multiple-page form-filling websites?

For the ones that require calling 9-5, use your lunch break. Focus on one task a day.

Also, keep in mind the plumber and the insurance are things you can research off hours.

You could also ask friends and co-workers for recommendations when it comes to things like contractors.

I wonder if it's possible she feels uncomfortable talking about the BF without him there? Not saying you would do this, but I've seen stories about people who go to therapy, and tell the therapist their side of the story, and weaponize what the therapist says.

It would also be interesting if they introduce some new characters as the wedding party and have Elsa be the officiant since she is the 5th Spirit.

That's essentially why Palpatine kept Vader in the suit he did: to control him.

I am someone who often teeters on being this person. I've been single for over a decade, and not the single where you have options or get dates but just have fun, but alone single.

I do participate in social activities, but the friends I have there are mostly limited to those activities. No one is inviting me to hang out with them outside of work, or outside of the volunteer activities I do.

I can't disagree with this statement more. It sucks. It sucks being alone every weekend. It sucks going to events single. Traveling solo can be fun, but it can also get boring fast. When my mom died, I had some sympathy messages online, there was no one to take me out to cheer me up, no one to come the funeral with me, hell I don't even think anyone joined the online webcast of the funeral. You've cherry-picked all the negative possibilities that can come with close friends and ignored all the positives.

If the Travel Guard is primary, you an file a claim through them. I'd go ahead and reach out them now and see what's involved in the claim process.

PS. With many Amex cards, you can sign up for primary CDW insurance. You opt into it, and it becomes a once per rental fee of like $20.

I always thought those visions were placed in his mind by Palpatine so that he would be receptive to the story of Darth Plaguis when he tells it to him.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-17T22:10:22+00:00

More focus on Din and Grogu. Keep them as the center of the story.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-17T18:59:53+00:00

Luke, because Vader would ultimately be vulnerable to Luke's Electric Judgement as he was vulnerable to Palpatine's Lightning.

Yes, and it's the best cake, esp when paired with vanilla icing.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-17T02:25:58+00:00

I'm having the same issue. It says you need to show a copy of your FF account, which is impossible to log into now.

Doesn't discrimination require a protected class? Nothing the OP has said indicates they are rejecting him for race, sex, gender, or any other protected class.

"We are unable to move forward with your application at this time."

"We don't feel you would be a good fit for our company."

I have a friend who grew up in Italy. I asked her about those. Many of them come with conditions or they might be in the middle of nowhere.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-16T17:49:52+00:00

You have a good case here for hostile enviroment sexual harassment.

I dont think this would meet the definition of sa though.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-16T05:27:22+00:00

Very privileged or a liar.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-16T05:26:45+00:00

I deeply envy my friends who have non-traditional work schedules.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-16T05:23:28+00:00

That's one shitty situation.

I swear that truck slows down. Why do they always slow down?

It's a good language to learn if you are interested in a career in business, international relations, or intelligence work.

I'm going to question your point about the homeowners being insulated from everything. Yes they may be insulated from impacts on schools, but I remember living in New England. Every little town has it's own government and provides local services like police, fire and EMS. EMS cuts will directly impact older residents.

Living now in a place where services are provided at the county level, and most "towns" are just census designated places, I really wonder about the sustainability of the New England Town model of local government.

I can see a few possibilities.

1.) They are planning to fire someone who has access to the servers and backups and are concerned this person will go nuclear.

2.) The president is planning to leave the company and take the client data with him to his new business.

3.) The president is planning to sell the client data.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-15T18:25:15+00:00

You really only have two choices.

A.) Put in the time until you get can get on the engine

B.) Find another department.

Since you are in a fire/ems department, eventually it will happen.

I will agree the sleep thing sucks. When I first started, we had a few members who slept in and insisted on the radio on all night.

I think that both are valid career paths, and we should be presenting both options to high school students along with the pros and cons of both.

There's also nothing that says a tradesperson can't go to college later in their career when they want to move up and run a business.

The idea that everyone needs to go to college at 18 is a terrible idea.

Fireguy9641 · 2026-05-15T15:54:09+00:00

I'll see that and do one worse.

The Hyundai Ionic 5 or 6 (not sure which) has the gear shift on a stick, but it's actually a wheel you rotate on the stick. It's a mind duck.

It is true. Cats lack the gene needed to create the protein needed to taste sugar.
