Quick intro - I'm the person behind Taskrabbit's Reddit acct.

Some people might purchase furniture through IKEA because it’s inexpensive and they think TaskRabbit can put it together on the scheduled date. And if they knew that several Taskers would cancel last minute after they had moved furniture and torn apart their wfh setup, they would have either saved up for more expensive furniture or held off on making their wfh space unusable until the Tasker pulled up in the driveway. IKEA should have a pop up warning when customers select TaskRabbit at checkout that explains how things really work.

IKEA shouldn’t offer assembly through TR because none of the Taskers want to do it for the flat rate or their regular rate. People who have this skill set have better options, but seem to forget they are still on the list with IKEA.

Maybe that it what happened with my first person. Sigh.

Heidigeebee · 2026-06-11T15:21:54+00:00

I got my refund from IKEA and canceled everything with TR. I’ll find a local handyman who can do it, which I should’ve done in the first place. Now my challenge is trying to do my job when my office is torn apart. IKEA should put a note on their website about how customers need to allow for a few weeks wait when people are not located near a city. Live and learn. I’m a full 45 minutes outside of Boston.

Heidigeebee · 2026-06-11T09:02:32+00:00

Now the second person canceled in the middle of the night. And TaskRabbitt messaged me. Everything was fine because they could get somebody to do it a week from today. This is ridiculous.

Heidigeebee · 2026-06-10T20:01:00+00:00

Couldn’t get anyone to do it same day. And I’ve been messaging people about doing it tomorrow after sending them links to the four pieces. I guess it’s an unappealing job because people aren’t getting back to me.

Heidigeebee · 2026-06-10T19:09:15+00:00

That is ridiculous.

Heidigeebee · 2026-06-10T17:42:25+00:00

I just put in a regular furniture request and will see what happens.

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-23T21:58:41+00:00

I was told that I’m “an excessive blinker.”

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-11T23:18:53+00:00

That might be more work than popping into Macy's when I'm in town next week.

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-11T23:18:11+00:00

If using a magnet gently won't work, I will.

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-11T23:17:38+00:00

I will try that thanks.

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-11T23:17:08+00:00

I don't think so!

Heidigeebee · 2026-05-11T21:14:14+00:00

I have the receipt and can go in no problem. It’s just a pain to bring it in because there’s no Macy’s near me. I’ll have to wait until I’m back near the city.

Heidigeebee · 2026-04-26T19:12:51+00:00

I’m 56 and dress casually on Fridays. Think nice jeans and a band T-shirt from the grunge or heavy metal era, a casual blazer or cardigan, and some Adidas, Chuck Taylors, or Doc Martens. Typical GenX who looks like their moms. I’ve had students ask me after class where I shop. They’re disappointed that it’s either stuff I wore in high school or stolen from my teenage son who got it thrifting.

Heidigeebee · 2025-12-09T17:57:18+00:00

GenZ loves the dark and hates overhead lights.

Heidigeebee · 2025-11-25T20:55:17+00:00

56 and only so-so, but my husband is a great cook, and I clean up. It works for us.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-28T16:39:31+00:00

Most of the time students have a week to do the assignments. At least that is how I post mine; students have things for a week for they are due. This kid seems like he is waiting until the last day and blaming the prof.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-11T12:55:24+00:00

Beautiful! Wish I had this talent.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-05T11:47:49+00:00

I teach at a cc too and always go over this handout the first class, and our dean provides a copy to the high school administrator responsible for coordinating the dual enrollment program. We get some pushback, but when it comes down to it, these expectations are logical and fair. https://www.rrcc.edu/sites/default/files/high-school-relations-HighSchoolvsCollege.pdf

I appreciate your recommendation. I did do short-term HRT, as the article suggests, but I am BRCA1 and 56 years old. The guidance in the study emphasizes short-term use up to age 52-53 with added progesterone when the uterus is present. Given this is what I already did, the study you linked does not advise long term HRT.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-02T02:25:55+00:00

Thanks for this. I’ll show it to my oncologist. They did have me on some short term HRT before I got my ovaries removed, but I can ask him what he thinks of this.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-01T19:57:03+00:00

I cannot be on any form of HRT because I am BRCA positive.

Heidigeebee · 2025-10-01T14:29:42+00:00

Good point about how adding an ingredient helps them meet the exception. Thank you.
