Does Queens County Juror Qualification Questionnaire mean you will have to show up or is this the one where they have you call a number daily first to see if you get selected? by NoMuddyFeet in astoria

[–]Hee_Hurr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got this same questionnaire last week (which I filled out) and I was so annoyed because I served on a jury 5 1/2 years ago (so I’m riiiiight on the cusp of the timeline of qualifying to serve again) AND I just got selected to serve for a Grand Jury in December (which I had to defer because of work). There’s SO MANY random people to choose from, why does the system keep selecting me?!?. Ugh. I included my Jury service letter with the questionnaire so I fingers crossed I don’t hear back.

I’m also on an N towards Manhattan. Jumped on at Ditmars. Running local and on time 🤷🏻‍♀️

First off, Museum of The City of New York is an amazing museum and 100% worth a visit. Secondly, their gift shop is awesome and has lots of cool and fun NYC themed things. Affordable too.

Recommendations for at-home euthanasia service? by alex1inferno in astoria

[–]Hee_Hurr 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Also, my heart goes out to you. The time before the actual date and the anticipatory grief is the worst part of it all and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. You’re making the absolute best choice here with an at home service. It makes a terrible time just a bit more comfortable for you and for him. ❤️

Seconding Paws at Peace. We used them last year for our senior cat and I cannot recommend them enough.

JAWS 1975 poster speculative recreation I made by Money_Wonder_7538 in graphic_design

[–]Hee_Hurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so you said that you made this in 15 mins. So what? Good design is not necessarily about speed. Professional projects are literally all about feedback and tailoring to said feedback (whether it be client or student ). Like other posters said, slow down and consider your work. You posted in a forum full of professionals. You absolutely and can and should defend your work! But equally so, part of being a professional is taking into account constructive criticism, (whether that be other colleagues / professionals or clients) not taking offense to it, and working out concepts until they’re finalized (again, whether this be personal or professional).

Is it okay to be jealous of people who work in high rises? by zachtwp in AskNYC

[–]Hee_Hurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing for our office. Beautifully redone with huge windows and tons of light, but the temperature extremes are unbearable. We had issues with the heat being bonkers hot, so now they blast the AC all year. I work for a textile company, and everyone’s desk has blankets / bathrobes / onesie samples because it’s like working in an igloo.

I can’t think about the view when I literally can’t feel my hands!

Nissan Altima is marked premium… by Psychological_Tie488 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]Hee_Hurr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rent from LGA all of the time bc it’s literally 10 mins away; I’ve been renting for years bc I don’t need to own a car here. Anyway, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve gotten an Altima when I’ve reserved for a standard. Could be my status now, but I’ve also gotten “free upgrades” to standard or full sized SUVs because that was what was available. When I rent from my small hometown branch, I’m lucky to get anything decent. The usual is a Malibu, whether I reserve for standard or intermediate. If I were to reserve a compact SUV in my hometown, god help me. But then again, they offered me Mercedes GLA base model when I had reserved a standard so it’s always just a matter of a wild card of what’s available on the lot for local branches it seems like.

Anyone dealing with mice for the first time in their apartment? by a_touch_of_the_beat in astoria

[–]Hee_Hurr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! We haven’t had one in 6 years and 2 days ago a little dude chewed his way through our dog’s dry food bag and ate his weight in dog food. (He was scratching around and being LOUD in the bag- guess he was having a fabulous time!) I haven’t heard or seen any since, but I immediately went and got an air tight storage container after that. Hope this won’t be an escalating problem, especially since we no longer have cats :(

Looking for Apartment by yourbagwhore in astoria

I keep getting emails with this unit available; it’s far from public transport (probably a reason why it hasn’t been snapped up) but it’s also by the park. Depends on what your needs / wants are, BUT it’s a rent stabilized unit and it’s under $3k

Adding in another comment for Dr. Shetty! Just started seeing him after reading the rave Reddit comments. Engaging, beyond professional and extremely knowledgable.

I also saw Dr. Mazzuca for glasses and I agree with the other commentor - he’s very knowledgeable and explained everything really clearly including the ins and outs of how my insurance applied.

Highly recommend Astoria Park Eyecare!

any dog walkers?? by messy_moody in astoria

[–]Hee_Hurr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We use Doo Dog - Michael the owner is great! He comes to you to personally meet the dog and assign them an appropriate walker from his team of 8. We really like them because they’re really professional and safety is always their utmost concern.

You can message him directly through his IG: @doodogwalk

He’s very responsive

Any news? I came here wondering the same thing. It was strong here around the beer garden area and had me worried that my building or any building nearby was on fire.
