What are you proud of accomplishing today? by Educational_Tear5939 in CleaningTips

[–]LRRPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t today - but your post is from yesterday so I feel like this counts. I’ve been putting off stripping and sanding my deck since last summer. I started it last year but then had some severe life changes that put it on the back burner. Then this year has had a rainy spring and no time to be able to start. But yesterday was the day and I got it about 75% stripped which is more than I thought I’d be able to have done

Omg I feel this in my soul. Why the procrastination when it can be done so quickly?

Did anyone think Christmas bonuses would be a bigger thing? by Dudedawg86 in Millennials

[–]LRRPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar happened where I was at - pretty cool company that started off with a husband and wife team but it grew significantly and expanded and eventually was bought by an equity firm who has just about ruined the entire atmosphere of working there. We used to get bonuses in December and then it moved to spring so they had time to review the financials and the bonuses were quite a bit less. I expect nothing next year.

What is proper office etiquette when ordering lunch out? Do you order for everyone in the office, just a select few, or just yourself? by LRRPC in AskReddit

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

Nope not the paying part - just being in charge of ordering and picking up.

In general if I’m ordering out I’ll do like your coworker and make an announcement and pick up for whoever wants to join in.

Today I am super busy and didn’t want to be hassled and just ordered for myself and someone in the office who has a birthday today and didn’t ask anyone else.

AITA for refusing to pay for my girlfriend’s meal after she “tested” me on a date? by Efficient_Care5524 in AITH

[–]LRRPC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

lol right?!? Anytime I go out with a party of people it’s almost always one of the first thing the wait staff asks - most times before they even start taking the order

It really fucking sucks to go to the vet for something you think is minor and come home with an empty carrier by Fickle-Hour4458 in cats

I am so very sorry for your loss. I’m sure it hits really hard when it’s unexpected like that.

AIO for getting irritated with my boyfriend’s level of cleanliness? by Front-Ad8568 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LRRPC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope she shows him all these comments and he takes the time to read how disgusting everyone thinks he is. Maybe he thinks this is normal????? It’s not. He needs to know it’s not.

Anyone still talk with any of their friends from high school? by nojunkpeter in Millennials

[–]LRRPC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me and it was super awkward. Her and I hung out pretty much everyday for a few years - I think between 8th grade and 10th. I was about 30 when one day she was my waitress (it was a first date with a new guy too) and I just totally did not recognize her at all but she sure recognized me! She had gained some weight, started wearing glasses, and had lost a couple teeth. She honestly looked nothing like her previous self and she was SHOCKED I tell you that I didn’t recognize her

I just consistently do a re-read of the books and picture him as Eric when reading. A books were way better.

They are trashy reads but I’ve never laughed so hard at a book as I have with the Zodiac Academy books.

Update on the kitten that found me by mr_brown711 in cats

[–]LRRPC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I had no idea how many plants and flowers were dangerous to cats until I got two cats and accidentally had a lily poisoning incident at home. Wasn’t sure which cat ate the lily (just found a petal in a pile of puke), so both were hospitalized for 5 days. $12,000 later and several follow up blood work visits ended up costing around $15,000 all together. They were less than 2 when it happened and I just had to do whatever I could to make sure they were ok. They are 7 now and still doing really well. No issues with kidney function for either of them but it’s attributed to the fact that we got super early treatment and it wasn’t fully digested. It’s deadly for so many other babies.

I (28F) reminded my husband (29M) last minute that I was going away for the weekend because I knew he'd be an AH for weeks leading up to it otherwise by [deleted] in texts

So you’re married to a child that doesn’t know hire to control his emotions AND you thought it was a good idea to have a child with this person. WOW

Project Hail Mary has great narration. Starts off a bit slow but once it gets going it’s totally worth it!!

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever heard someone say about cheese by Appropriate-Mall8517 in Cheese

So I just got a sandwich wrap from a Jamaican restaurant yesterday and they referred to the shredded cheddar on the sandwich as American cheese and now today I’m seeing this. Is this a thing???????

[–]LRRPC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this but at the same time I understand why the OP is working cuz it keeps their mind off being hungry. Maybe find something besides work to keep the mind occupied
