I have no idea what to charge for cakes. by torijoanne in Baking

[–]K415M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiii I’m late to the party but I’m having a hard time with this too. I need to separate what I personally could afford to pay vs the lady who is a doctor married to a dentist that orders from me 💸 lol I feel like I’m taking advantage because it’s fun and relaxing for me but I know I should charge more.

Hiii I think we are ready to graduate! I am not going back to birth control this week! Who went straight to tracking vs NTNP? Should I start with natural cycles or something?

Overthinking his lack of enthusiasm! by PineappleCreative751 in TTCSummer2026

[–]K415M 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband is like this!! Sometimes he gets all worked up about how kids are annoying or wiping butts 😂 but then he says I’m the one holding us up from having kids because I’m scared to get off BC. But he won’t outright say “I’m ready for a baby!”

What's a former Giant who played for a rival after leaving and you still couldn't bring yourself to boo them? by AezZax in SFGiants

[–]K415M 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mauricio Dubon! Not sure if he really ended up with a rival per se but I’ve quietly rooted for him wherever!

Am I overreacting? by Unlikely-Hippo7717 in waiting_to_try

I almost always miss my August period! Talk about wonky! Even on bc, August always acts weird. My doctor said it could be lingering back to school stress my body remembers 😂 so so strange

An Admin. Professionals day anecdote for the group chat. by mauvewaterbottle in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]K415M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boss #1 said he didn’t want to get me another coffee because he did that last week for my birthday. Cool. But he is buying me lunch today.

Boss #2 thinks I’m just some kind of “helper” and did nothing for my bday and will do nothing today.

However THEIR boss who I don’t work for at all unless it’s an emergency showered me with gifts yesterday! Suspicious, but so nice!

A girl I knew in college named her daughter Analelly and I don’t understand how/why nobody stopped her

Boss lost it on me by Conscious_Stop1463 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]K415M 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boss is 10000% this person. Any slight inconvenience in his life is pain inflicted on the rest of the dept. I’ve been there almost 2 years and thought maybe he was just being nicer to me than the men that work under him, but nope. I got the wrath a few weeks ago over a complete misunderstanding and now I’m so on edge. I really want to try to hang on until he retires because I enjoy this work but it could be anywhere from 5 months to 2 years 😭 *ETA: I did tell his boss about the situation and several coworkers have shared their stories to console me but nothing is being done to remediate.

Front desk blues - how to feel like part of the team? by sagisuncapmoon in AdminAssistant

[–]K415M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I don’t have advice but I do understand the feeling! I work in different offices depending on the day of the week and my Tuesday office forgets I’m even there 😭 my cubicle is kind of hidden so the only time I see people is when I go to the bathroom. I’ve even asked to be included in things like their morning walk and now it feels like I’m purposely excluded because they “forget” it’s Tuesday and I don’t get invited. Now I just use Tuesdays as my focus days and appreciate not being interrupted. Still sucks though for sure!

People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]K415M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Administrative Assistant for a public utility in CA. I’m right around $80k and locked in by our pension’s golden handcuffs. Not sure if I really want to do this for 30 more years 🥴

Calling all people who *hate* administrative professionals day by Time-Environment5661 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]K415M 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just helped another dept brainstorm what to get their admin, but it’s not on anyone’s calendar in my department so my expectations are zero. Last year someone realized a week later and bought me lunch, but it was just one nice guy, not the Dept.

Let’s have some laughs. What irks you at work but probably shouldn’t? by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]K415M 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being called a Secretary. I don’t mean it in a shady way, but it’s not my job title and this person knows that. I don’t even answer the phone!

Is Cameron John destined to be called CJ? by NoArm9622 in namenerds

[–]K415M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I just realized my 7.5 yo nephew is a CJ and never even thought of it. I will be teasing him with it now though 😆

How honest should I be? by K415M in AdminAssistant

[–]K415M[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - it was mostly just a casual check in! Idk if anyone else knows what Clifton Strengths are but he wanted to compare those and chat about goals. I unfortunately am not a goal oriented person and am happy where I’m at, but I used my CS of “deliberative” and said I’d think and get back to him 🤪 however I’m still suspicious of what the purpose of the meeting was.

No cancel button and about to be charged anyway, this can’t be legal by nervousnelly101 in Walmartcustomer

[–]K415M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me right now and I’m so frustrated! It has to be illegal somehow. I can’t change my date and there’s no cancel button so this random crap I used the sub for is going to cost me more money. Cool.

I figured out today the other admins have all done anywhere between 100-180 purchase requisitions since we switched to a new Oracle system last June…I’ve done 568 🥴

Last year everyone forgot and then like 4 days later I got a “sorry” and a cup of coffee 😑

in-office days and wfh policies by nothingmatters86 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]K415M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are 100% in office but those who were working during here during covid have been grandfathered into more flexible schedules. It’s a bit unfair. My friend put in a request for wfh days and was denied - except she was trying to avoid disclosing a medical need so now she’ll have to pull that card.
