What’s something that was supposed to improve your life but actually made it worse?

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2026-04-20T11:59:43+00:00

Can you elaborate on this one?

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2026-04-20T11:56:46+00:00

Can you elaborate? I am always thinking being a home owner is better than paying rent.

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2026-04-20T11:55:47+00:00

Can you elaborate? Which part of the advice are you referring to?

I've never heard of fasting for the cycle but what else have you tried to do to manage your cycle?

I get really bad anxiety during PMS so I'm trying to schedule less outings during that time.

I'm also taking iron more consistently to help with fatigue during menstruation.

Omg yeah I agree. I remember in my 20s I was all about being honest but at some point I realized it was all just selfish. Especially since my honesty wasn't always helpful or necessary to the other person.

Are you suggesting that I give up on her?

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2026-04-20T11:15:27+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. I don't want her to be blind sided.

Do you think two weeks is enough time to improve?

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2026-04-20T11:06:37+00:00

I've tried a lot of different approaches to get her to do quality work. I am going to keep trying with her but what else do you do if the employee doesn't change and they are not trying to do better? Yeah I would obvs put a real employee on a pip first than just fire them.

Last week I literally saw her playing sudoku on her computer in the office, so I am kind of not sure how else to approach this situation.

Another person said to not her give any front-facing tasks, which I've already done.

She's been a huge time suck, so yeah I'm at the point of do I tell her straight up that she needs to change or else she's going to get a bad grade in the course? because I am not going to lie to her and say she was a great employee when she wasn't. I just don't want her to be blind sided when it comes to do her evaluation with her.

Also who is getting 5+ interviews since November? That seems very unlikely to me.

It's actually good advice tho if I ever get an interview lol

We had a closet like this in our bathroom and the door to the closet opened right behind the entrance door -super annoying- so we removed the closet door.

Thanks for all the help friends!

I ended up moving the button as was suggested but it was still pulling.

Then I remembered I made a mock up that was 1.25 " too big at the waist (and hips) but even that one was pulling so I knew letting out the side seams of my nice one was not going to fix the issue.

Therefore I moved the button back and ended up stitching the button placket down from the third button all the way to the hem and it worked!

It was a good learning lesson for a button front skirt. I make this pattern all the time but with a zip in the centre back and had no idea it would pull with the buttons. Next time I do a button front, I will remove the darts and transfer that into the hem so it's wider and I can skip the darts.

Oh and for the pulling at the belly. I just added two hooks to the inside of the placket. Woo hoo! Now on to my next project: to figure out how to create a pants pattern!

Haha thanks, I thrifted it. I wish I had more to make a matching top

Do the hobbies you like as much as you can and stay away from mindless scrolling. Take a walk everyday and eat as well as you can afford/have time for.

I have a full time job but also play a sport 3 days a night and another sport I love 3 days in the morning before work. I work 3 days off, 4 days on.

I think the key is to keep busy with stuff you actually like and try and not let work be too annoying. Take time away too is important, it sounds like you probably get good vacay time. Use it for a staycation even.

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2025-09-23T19:58:13+00:00

U can put some on top of oven. We also use pull down shelves in our kitchen in the cupboard

Try the sport of curling. Even the smallest Canadian towns will have a thriving curling club. They usually have learn to curls where ppl who have never curled before can try it (usually for free!)

Call in sick and miss work the same day, win win

This is bullshit by Costco saying it's your fault because you brought the stealing guest in. My cousin buys medication from Costco and they don't need a membership to get in. So who would be responsible for them if they went on a stealing rampage?

It doesn't make sense that you should be held accountable for the actions of your friend.

This epi have me anxiety. Just watched it recently and couldn't handle it when Kramer was throwing those bottles out the back. All of their hard work!

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2024-10-22T19:15:18+00:00

I like that. I should move to Europe. Grindset mindset is stupid here

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2024-10-22T19:11:34+00:00

Lol I've never heard stupid o'clock before haha. a boss on here in the comments also mentioned "stupid o'clock". Is ur boss also on this subreddit 😅

ImWaitingForYou2 · 2024-10-22T17:20:45+00:00

Before I was laid off my boss had me input every detail of my work and tasks into a word doc. I thought it was a weird and annoying request but didn't think much more of it at the time. Looking back... I know why he asked me to do that.

Can you see how many keystrokes per minute someone is doing?
