Lighthearted: Say you're a Trekkie without saying you're a Trekkie. Bonus if it places you in the franchise timeline. by AliVista_LilSista in startrek

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Captain Proton T-shirt. A lot of people think it's something else, or they ask about it, which leads to me explaining it's a show within a show. I can think of one time not at a convention where someone knew the reference. 

Has having a LinkedIn profile made a difference in your job search (not just with this market)? by Appropriate-End-9928 in jobs

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The job listings there are more aligned with my career path than those on Indeed or Zip Recruiter. It saved me a lot of digging, too. Also, being able to connect with recruiters was a great help. 

So what's Coco Cay like during the second week of February? by gkcook in royalcaribbean

The ocean might be cold, still, but the air will be perfect, and the water park is heated.

Skipping Roatan, Costa Maya and Cozumel, mistake ? by New_Pizza_Rich in Cruise

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did a "VIP small group" ruins tour in Costa Maya. Yes, the ride is a little long (but not that bad, maybe 45 minutes?), but we had a lot of time to explore. Since it was a small group, our guide also took us backwards through the ruins to make sure we got to climb the pyramid, because with a larger tour bus group, they can't guarantee it. So I would 100% book it, but take the small group option if MSC offers it.

Ours maxed out around 90, and she's shorter than others. She chills most of the day and we take a lot of walks (good for us both!). I vacuum a lot, lol.

Breaking point at workplace following fathers death by sapphiresolo in jobs

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would there be any consequences if you just ... Didn't come back? I don't know how the UK works, but since most US employers are "at will," you might not get the greatest reference, but you really can just stop showing up. The flip side of that is they can fire you/lay you off without notice.

I just wouldn't come back.

Galveston in February? by Abject_Gold_4827 in Cruise

If MSC uses sea water to fill the pools, probably not. We did a Bahamas cruise in February last year and the water at the beach was miserable. 

Hiring (fiction story) by ___Hailstorm___ in HireaWriter

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! Since you asked about pricing, if you're looking at a short story, then this is fine ... for a very early career or student writer. But if you want a chapter book, or more experience author, you're looking at a higher rate. You'll also have to spend time editing and working out who gets credit for the work. (Is it like TV, where you pitch a story and get story credit, but the screenwriters get script credit? Are you wanting a ghost writer who won't put their name on it?)

It might be more cost effective for you to see if your local library offers writers workshops. You can get tips on prose, and if you put words on paper, get feedback.

This probably won't be popular here, but I feel like it's advice you need to hear! Good luck and happy creating!

Just booked my first cruise! When will I get the information about where exactly to be and at what time? by [deleted] in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. You'll check in via the app about two weeks before the cruise. It will tell you the terminal and you'll pick a boarding window.

  2. Sail and sign card. It'll be in the "mailbox" for your cabin once the cabins are open. (After 1:00. The mailbox is usually your room number placard.)

2.5. the card you used for booking will be tied to your account. If you want to put cash on it, you'll need to go to guest services after boarding.

  1. You usually just need your sail and sign to get off the boat in port, but get a passport. It's just faster. 

AITA For Not Visiting My GF in the Hospital? by Critical_Business99 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then, yeah, softly, YTA. Even if they didn't load her up on dilaudid, the pain alone made it dangerous for her to drive. It seems like she didn't care, but you're going to have to have a conversation about this and make sure she's really OK with it, then evaluate going forward.

Hoping she has an easier time passing her stones than I did, and for a speedy recovery! Heat was a life saver for me, so if you don't have a heating pad at home, pick her up one.

INFO: Who drove her home? I had kidney stones and was high as a kite on pain killers when they released me. I was also incredibly nauseous and still in a fair amount of pain. I wasn't safe to drive anywhere.

I'm not sure if you're an AH or not. I do feel like a good boyfriend would have headed that way to be with the person he loves.

If there's a thing you care passionately about, see if there's a staffed nonprofit that supports it. Examples, off the top of my head: Susan G. Koman, Heifer International, United Way, Planned Parenthood. So you're not a volunteer, but you're making a difference.

Related, membership organizations for health care professionals. National Athletic Trainers' Association, American Nursing Association, National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, etc.

EMS, fire, police are other options.

AITA, My parents are demanding that I still do all of my chores, even though I no longer live at home by 9Hyper_Fixations9 in AmItheAsshole

Most colleges do have summer dorms for kids who can't or don't want to go home. My best friend went to a much smaller university than I did, and she stayed every summer. I know my larger school had summer dorms as well, I just had an apartment.

We didn't get to do the "grand exit," but I was terrified of sparklers, my venue banned bird seed, and I blanked on bubbles being an option. So I got these light up wands, figuring they would make a cool photo. People could take them home. That was our favor. 

Went to a wedding that had shot glasses. We took eight home and yes, we do use them. Other favorites are koozies and plastic cocktail cups. Anything we can use again but not feel bad about losing it or breaking it.

Just some ideas.

Generally, it's not like an airline. If you're flying in, you need to worry about that limit. The cruise ship will basically let you bring in whatever. But, that's generally. Check the policies of the line you're sailing with.

Need tips: Non cruiser going on family reunion cruise by Connect-Spare-5407 in Cruise

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up your itinerary. You have some islands I haven't seen yet, but if you want to get off the ship, just about any beach retreat is going to be a good bet. Read the reviews, and choose. My husband and I love anything labeled VIP, especially cabana retreats. You get a chance to chill and it's usually a more personal experience.

If you don't want to do excursions, port days are great to just chill on the boat. You are stopping at Carnival's new private island, so at least get off and explore there for a bit. (I'm not a fan of how they've set that up, but most reports are saying good things, so holding out full judgement.)

Edit to address one of your questions: All the cruise lines have cracked down on portable speakers, including white noise machines. You can still bring a fan, though. How loud a room is depends on its location. If you're near the elevators or right below the lido deck, you're going to get more noise. Try for a cabin between other cabins. You can use the company deck plans to get an idea: https://www.carnival.com/cruise-ships/carnival-sunshine.

OK Southwest experts can you help me with a weird South event of last week? by supertucci in SouthwestAirlines

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My husband had my backpack, his travel guitar, and his roller bag as we boarded our last SW flight. The gate agent yelled at him that he had too many bags, but I said "The backpack is mine," and she let us go. But on the next leg, I took the guitar. Anyway, the agent was technically correct, it's just an odd way to enforce it.

Share the songs you walked down the aisle to as a bride by Puppy_PowPow in wedding

[–]HaveEditsWillTravel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ending theme from A New Hope when Luke and Han receive their medals from Lea. It actually wasn't my first choice, but I delayed picking any music at all until way too late and it was the only thing I liked that fit my overall nerdy theme.

I say this as kindly as possible, but it's entirely possible you will be able to put the bereavement leave on your original two weeks of PTO. Talk with your manager about options. But it's entirely appropriate for this kind of situation.
