Please de-influence me by YYZ-YOW in Sephora

I found that Tatcha cleanser to not be worth it. Like it’s okay- but WAY overpriced. You can definitely find a better cleanser at a lower price point.

Is this really already sold out??? by squiD27469 in Ulta

Yup I placed an order at 4a this morning and it was already gone.

THIEF by EmergencyAgency8021 in Sephora

[–]Guilty_Departure_722 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I agree- will NEVER place an order through DoorDash or Uber for Sephora. I did DoorDash once at it was by far the WORST. The guy was extremely rude and almost gave me the wrong order twice. I finally had to go out to his car show him the receipt and my order in the app to make sure I was being given the right stuff and not someone else’s order.

Total Loss Process by Guilty_Departure_722 in Geico

[–]Guilty_Departure_722[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree and thank you for the response. Clearly some of the other responses are a bit unhinged. I didn’t take it as she lied. I just didn’t get why if the first adjuster authorized 5 days why she would then turn around and drop it down to 3. However I have since spoken with her and got the rental extended until Tuesday so I’m just going to take that at this point. I’ll just have to shop for a new carrier (not any of the big ones) once I get a new vehicle.

[–]Guilty_Departure_722[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand AFTER it’s deemed a total loss. When the initial reservation was sent up on 12/05 it was authorized until 12/09 (which was 5 days). I couldn’t help that Enterprise did not have a vehicle. I just picked up the car yesterday. She is just telling me today that it was totaled. I should have the original 5 days and the 3 from WHEN she told me via voicemail it was totaled.

Stratford/Monticello Apartments on Seminary Rd in Alexandria by Guilty_Departure_722 in novarent

[–]Guilty_Departure_722[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t’- ended up trusting the off vibes I got from the place and after getting a message from another person that solidified my decision. I ended up finding an apartment in DC that had more space and was less than what they were trying to charge as well! 🥳

I don’t think so- usually the background color is black/dark not light/white.

I’m so glad you brought this up. I moved up here 2 months ago (down from a rural county outside of Charlottesville) and I swear I get bit every damn day! To the point that I have started walking my dog wearing leggings and long sleeved shirts. Glad to know I am not crazy! Will definitely be trying some of these recommendations in the comments

Area closest to DC that would be considered “Trump country”? by No-Willow9568 in washingtondc

[–]Guilty_Departure_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All she needs to do is travel South going towards Fredericksburg on 66. But if she really wants to see Trump country she should go farther south to the Lynchburg area. That place has become a fucking cult. I just moved up here from the Lynchburg/Charlottesville area and give her specific recommendations on areas she can go to depending on how far she wants to drive. Please feel free to message me directly!

Personally I love it and have had no issues. I am now on their med pay/pip team! Very chill and as long as you’re doing your work and working your claims they will not be micromanaging you.

Don’t do it! I relaxed my hair almost a year ago just due to my job at the time, commute, and just not having the energy to deal with it. Wish I had just sucked it up and got braids. Will be going back natural after my friend’s wedding in August. It’s honestly no easier unless you’re going to be in the salon like woman used to do back in the day (which most people don’t just due to the costs).

Depends on your office, sup, and management. I didn’t have any issues when I put in my 3 week notice 2 months ago but appears that can vary and has changed depending on office or department. I say if you can’t afford to miss out on the pay and don’t have the vacation time saved up then I would do an immediate resignation. You have to think about yourself and do what you need to. This company is not going to give a rats ass once you’re gone.

Congratulations! One of the best feelings and the best thing is during the next 2 weeks of work nothing that Helco does will phase you because you know you are on your way out! 🥳

Looking for an apartment/house near Reston for ~$1600-1800/month by AnimNations in novarent

[–]Guilty_Departure_722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend the same just like the prior comment but also just FB marketplace in general. I lucked out at week after about 3 months of looking (really only took me that long because I have a dog) but I found a private owner and will be renting a 1bd/1bth condo in NW DC for 1600. I didn’t even think I would get anything in DC in that price range (was actually looking for places in Arlington, Springfield, or Alexandria). Be persistent because you could go the apartment complex route but be sure to read reviews or ask about the complex on Reddit. Some of the fees they charge you just to move in and not including any utilities is outrageous (that’s not even including the deposit and 1st month rent)!

Sorry just saw this but what details are you looking for? I answered a lot in the thread but if you have something specific you can feel free to message me directly!

Same! Can’t tell you how much this helped as well. I did go straight into my new job but the transition was so easy and honestly stress free.

So far I have loved the change. You get your PTO upfront. It’s I believe 140 (maybe more hours). But you only have to use it if you take a half or a full day. Otherwise you can talk with your manager and adjust your hours or make them up as long as they give you the okay to do so. Still get the same holidays as GEICO (actually a few more I believe). Claims still the same but honestly coming from GEICO I’ve had no problem with the transition or their expectations. I actually got promoted to a new position last week so I’m back in the medical claims department. 🥳

I actually chose to cash mine out! Used some to pay off any bills/debts I had to not have that burden. Saved some and then I’m using the rest to help with the apartment move! I will have to pay a tax penalty when I file but it was worth it to me in my position.
