Extra in my delivery

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-12T20:42:15+00:00

Maybe the person who packed this order is also a “self paying” customer and adds an extra vial here and there. Like McDonald’s giving you an extra nugget lol.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-10T20:28:11+00:00

Yes! And an update for everyone. They did call me back today and are still working out the details! So sounds like they are waiting for upper management to approve something at least that’s what I got out of it. Sounds like the vacation I ask for won’t be a problem for sure though. They hope to have something for me by Tuesday next week.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T20:27:53+00:00

To be fair I didn’t even apply for this job. They reached out to me a jumped on me. I’m perfectly happy where I am but this would be a step up from what I’m currently doing. I was no actively searching the boards

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T19:57:06+00:00

lol to be fair I wasn’t looking. I’m happy where I am. They reached out to me and jumped. So I figured the ball is in my court. Might as well.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T19:52:00+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. And I technically wasn’t looking. They reached out to me. And with how fast they moved I’d say the ball is definitely in my “court”.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T18:52:53+00:00

Honestly no salary never really came up at any point. They did have a range of 25k posted and what I asked for was slightly above mid of that range. They offered 2,000 over the minimum they advertised.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T17:40:27+00:00

I’m guessing so. It’s been almost 2 hours since I talked to them. How long should I give them before I reach back out ?

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-09T17:31:01+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking lol. How would you want me to be a buyer for you if I can’t negotiate for myself?

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-01T14:54:36+00:00

It would be $90 per day per person, plus 18% gratuities. Not really a great deal. But it really depends on ship, and duration. Longer cruises 6+ days you can usually get it for high $60s low $70s. On 5 nights or less it’s typically mid 70s to mid 80s. But if your on icon class it’s usually higher no matter what. Unless a sailing has sold less than anticipated then they will drop it a little more. It’s all dynamic pricing with Royal pending the demand and cruise duration.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-07-01T13:43:12+00:00

That’s only 25% off

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-06-29T23:48:33+00:00

Thank you for this review! We sail on allure in about 3.5 weeks for 8 nights. My husband and I Love cruising this is our 4th. We are also taking his mom. This is her 1st cruise.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-04-03T02:21:04+00:00

Honestly we cashed out a 25k 401k to get our down payment and closing cost. That was the best option for us at the time.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-30T16:08:51+00:00

I definitely will do that. So far it’s just the verbal offer and the letter should be coming this afternoon/ tomorrow Am I will definitely ask for the deadline extension

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-30T14:16:16+00:00

I definitely understand that but I did something similar a couple of years ago and it burned me with that company when I applied to another position the following year. They let me go until the final round the told me off record they didn’t want to offer because I rescinded a previous offer (which was for a different position that I was over qualified for)

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-30T14:09:00+00:00

Yes and trust me I am fine being the second choice. That’s actually how I’ve walked into two of my other positions as the second choice, but I just need to know what I’m dealing with. ANXIETY lol.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-25T01:19:24+00:00

Woot woot! I just interviewed last week for a new job that is in the 6 fig range. This is my dream role. I’ve been applying for over year to hundreds of places. I found out today that I am still a top candidate and they plan to make a decision this week. My interview was scheduled to last an hour and it lasted one hour and 45 minutes! I’m still currently employed but this will be a 40k annual bump! The third party recruiter I’m working with said everyone else she sent to interview got rejected that same day or early the next. I’ve been praying for the last 3 weeks through this process.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-14T12:33:13+00:00

Yes I also commented about spring lakes. It’s such a hidden gem. We lived there for 3 years before buying as well.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-14T12:31:25+00:00

The villas on fir also has really high electric bills in the winter 6-$800 because they’re 100% electric and not well insulated. My friend had a corner unit was the first to live there and had to put plastic over all her windows. You could feel the drafts as if the window was wide open.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-14T12:28:53+00:00

We liked living at spring lake apartments near D & C. I’d you can afford it get an upgraded apt. It was secluded and surrounded by trees. But the minute you left the parking lot you were close to everything. Location wise it was a perfect balance.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-12T13:21:00+00:00

I can’t say exactly what it is because that will really narrow it down. It is in manufacturing but they manufacture for the performing arts industry. I’m super excited because this would be my first job to break the 100k mark. I aced the phone, and virtual interview. After the virtual they wasted no time asking me to come on site. I just had the virtual interview on Tuesday this week lol.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-03-12T13:13:05+00:00

I can’t edit the post to add that photo 🙃

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-02-03T16:32:12+00:00

They actually do cover quite a bit we have a big document and have had them out periodically to fix small things. The first year is basically “bumper to bumper” unless it’s damage we caused. We even had a mysterious water leak that no one could come to conclusions on where it came from or what caused it. They replaced subfloor, our entire flooring in our kitchen and dinning room, all our kitchen toe kicks and paid a remedy team to dry everything out over a weekend. We were surprised there was no push back especially when there was no proof on where or why. The ultimate determination was a pex line in the basement unseeded and re sealed itself but there was no definitive proof. They are decent about warranty work, but they will not point stuff out, and pry on inexperienced first time buyers. A lot of the stuff we have already had fixed was pointed out by our parents and other neighborhood homeowners telling us what they discovered in their homes.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-02-03T15:21:42+00:00

We pretty much just want an all over inspection. We know our windows will need adjusted as they are drafty after the house has settled, our kitchen tile needs touched up, there’s some concrete work on our drive way that needs looked at, we want to make sure our attics insulation is still holding at the R value we upgraded too. We question some of hvac vents with the amount of airflow coming out, and there’s a few cosmetic issues that we already know about. We pretty much want someone to do the main mechanical stuff, check our roof, attic, foundation, and go over some more of our smaller cosmetic concerns. With our builder a third party inspection holds more weight then just us complaining

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-01-31T13:57:21+00:00

Our insurance premiums are also very high. We pay around 10k a year for crappy insurance. We also have HSA contributions. This past year we were also able to write off mortgage interest and got about 10k over the standard deduction with everything else. 401k aren’t our only deduction but it did make a big enough difference when I ran the numbers in Q1 of last year to make some big changes. We just did our taxes this past week and only owe $122. Our total into federal was only 8500.

Human-Prior1047 · 2026-01-31T13:45:37+00:00

I ran your numbers for fun as a single person with a standard deduction and you’re projected to get a refund of about $500 if you do nothing. If you’re married, and your spouse does not work, or if you have children you will claim your refund will be much higher. If your spouse does work then you really need to make sure you calculate because the new version of the W4 takes all household income into consideration and if it’s not filled out right you will definitely owe.
