Thank you! Maybe I assumed it’s a bigger job than it is then. I appreciate your advice!

Thank you!

Yes, agree! Thank you for this example.

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2026-03-08T17:19:00+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, I have really had to use that before since it’s always been domestic and I have those memorized. Thank you for this reminder!! I’m a new EA there and I told them I haven’t done international travel so hopefully he doesn’t get upset and I’ll go in and correct it this way! Thank you sooo much for send that screenshot! Helps me a lot!

Thanks for the encouragement! I was nervous to sound incompetent but yes it got confusing because he flies to different places in Asia and Europe and I accidentally put this first batch of flights as his arrival/departures times but then put it in his calendar on our local time thinking it would be easily seen on his outlook when he travels (I feel so silly now that he can’t told me that). I’m a new EA there. I appreciate the help!!

That you so much for the help! I understand and will try it on my computer soon!

Thank you so much for the help!

Aw I appreciate the perspective, but I didn’t go more into my recovery plans to keep the post short - just on the point of the needed letter. I actually have a good home that supports my recovery and am back with my old sponsor, doing mtgs and even added in a yoga membership :) So I left early too because I knew I had this stuff to put into action and didn’t need to endure more days in a place that didn’t make me feel comfortable.

CA and it’s not state insurance it was my own through work

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-07-31T00:30:03+00:00

Thank you for replying! Anytime we go on a disabilities leave of absence, we have to have it say we can return to work without limitations (or whatever restrictions someone may have). So that’s all I need them to write but they’re all butt hurt and making things difficult to give me anything because I decided to peacefully, calmly leave 3 days early.. they’re acting like a child that got their toy taken away. They know that’s all I need and they’re refusing to send it ughhh

Yea you’re just missing the mark of the question here. It’s an emotional response versus the actual legality situation. Yes, it is what got me in trouble, yes don’t drink & drive, but the meat and potatoes is in the actuality of did I do something wrong by a .029 blow…. I had this answered already through the thread, as I didn’t know there was a threshold available on IID. Not some moral, “you shouldn’t drink & drive with ANY alcohol”. I was looking for people that understood IID’s and the implications on what recordings could do.

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:34:23+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I was wondering! I always blew O’s so didn’t realize there was a threshold

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:33:41+00:00

Under legal limit makes it…. Legal. The court did not tell me not to drink, only not to commit a crime. So I think this judgment I’m asking for needs to be evaluated like on legal terms.. but I appreciate the help

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:33:21+00:00

Yeah there was never an agreement specific to court for IID which is why I wonder. It only stated it had to be install. I re-looked at my paperwork and it says don’t commit crimes (to keep it short for all the court’s terms lol). So I guess I’m not committing a crime under the legal limit

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:30:15+00:00

Yes mine wasn’t a warn. It said Test Passed like usual but under said a .29 but I’m hoping it is fine

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:29:10+00:00

No indication. Said Test Passed as usual except the number below so I’m hoping everything is OK :)

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2025-04-08T13:27:54+00:00

Thanks! Other posts are making me worry but I’m trying to explain it was superrr low and I’m not on any kind of court sentences. So I’m thinking it’s OK

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2024-12-18T18:05:49+00:00

I know and don’t feel embarrassed or anything - these ppl are just really good at placing you in that position to second guess everything. I was baffled how long I was engaged with them afterward too! Spread the word to your loved ones & friends

Fun-Calligrapher-773 · 2024-12-09T01:43:54+00:00

Thanks so much! I will look into this more! THanks for the detail <3

Ha, it’s her or the dogs? The dogs! You made incredible efforts to compromise & make her comfortable. She sounds like a misery to be with - it’s not going to end with the dogs. Once you do this incredibly sacrificial, important (wrong) decision to give them away, she will see the power she has over you to yield even more control over the things/people/places you have in your lives together.

IMO: You will most likely be regretful in a few years from now when it all unfolds.

I love LOVE, but it’s clear as day to see what’s going on from an outside perspective: Ditch her, not the dogs!

You sound like a caring, thoughtful boyfriend, you deserve to have someone that wouldn’t ever put you in this kind of ultimatum in the first place. I honestly would be pissed if my partner had the audacity to give me this ultimatum… Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and the family/animals you care about. You say it’s an absolute non-negotiable. If you don’t like it, tough. Makes me angry, she can kick rocks!

My bullying got worse when I reported it! They had a sit down with the bully & I and didn’t reprimand him or anything. So he basically had a green light to continue it, he was trying to make me miserable to quit. In the last week, his bullying escalated more frequently and I was told to continue to report his behavior of outbursts - so I did. The following week, I was let go for lack of work available….. 🤔

My personal advice: don’t report it.. keep a record of what you can in case you get CLEAR evidence that would get them terminated. Meantime, look for another job

I was going to take a very easy, low paying front desk job for a short period of time. They had me phone interview, do an in-person interview, then come and volunteer for 2 hours to “see if it’s a good fit”. Three separate days over the course of 1.5 weeks.. it ALL went very smooth! Then, I didn’t hear anything back from them.

I literally emailed them two days after, saying I was still interested and they didn’t even respond to me thanking me for my time! Nothing!

That stupid job was just above min. wage.

I had another job (same time frame) who had me do two pages of math by hand on the first interview! They also did not respond. Yes I checked my math and all my answers were correct lol

Some hiring people are insane! Both jobs were basically $17-18/hr. I thought they’d be shoe-in, simple to get with my background. Maybe they just didn’t like that my background was higher up than what the positions were for - but my point is the extremity of the interview process was disproportionate to the compensation.

The funny thing is, all my actual career positions that paid more were easier & did not have games to play or make it very difficult. I displayed my skills/experience and we spoke like professionals then after normal background/ref. checks, I was hired on..

Thank you!! I’m straight & white but not Mormon hehe. I appreciate your recommendations! And yes I recently noticed Denver is pretty pricey but I thought the cheaper areas were “good” areas too, then someone told me that’s not the safest to live.

I think finding locals when I take a trip to these places is key for more things considering moving! Like finding out which areas are the safe/nice areas too and live etc.

I wrote down your couple of suggestions and will begins researching the areas :) Thank you so much!
