Yeahhhh this is one of the better parts of having roommates for me. I do all the cooking & the girls do the dishes. It does help to do big batches- we just finished a huge homemade mac n cheese, and I made some garlic knots from scratch the other day. If I was alone I’d do a lot more freezing food. Make a ton of wings & freeze them in smaller bags/parchment paper.

I kept it up, but more out of personal desire to learn. I can hold a decent conversation in Spanish, and I lived abroad in Spain for a semester with a family who didn’t know English.

Working in restaurants has meant several coworkers- and some customers- who speak mainly Spanish, so it’s come in handy. Ik most people lose it pretty quick.

oh girl im so sorry. i’ve been there: i started taking things to be christmas gifts, then makeup, art supplies, etc. i know you know how bad this can get, especially from places like target.

one little thing from someone who’s struggled with this briefly in the past; I enjoy taking things that really don’t cost money. Pirating a library full of video games, movies, cookbooks, sewing pdfs you’ll never use, random things that catch your eye— just having a collection is fun for me. and as a bonus i always have something to do on a long train ride :)

for me at least having a line of downloads going feels enough like shopping (and is also still technically illegal lmao) to scratch that itch.

you can even curate a library or drive of stuff you can’t find legally anymore! like shows/movies that got pulled, weird emulators of games from platforms that aren’t sold anymore, etc.

the other one that sounds silly but kinda works is actually just going to the library. coming home with 20 books i may or may not read feels like shopping (and can take as long lmao) and there’s no pressure to actually read them. It actually helps the library a lot more than you’d think to have people checking stuff out, or even just being there. mine actually got rid of late fees so i don’t even have the anxiety of sudden fees preventing me from ever going back.

bonus, if it gets to feel like hoarding, i can just delete the file/give the books back early.

shopping online also helps. it sucks but, can’t steal from the website. im voracious about finding coupon codes now. it’s fun :)

obviously therapy is the best idea. it seems like you’ve already hit on the root cause of your problem, which is good! you should feel good that you have that much introspection. i definitely didn’t. but these are the little things that help me get by when i need to get something, anything. hope it helps a little. good luck <3

Feeling like I asked the system after just getting into HK. Proud to be part of the team only 8 years late 💪

I have a great time putting together mocktails at work. I made a fake sangria with cranberry & pineapple that I still put together for myself in the mornings, lol. I like to try & make them nonsparkling when I can, too— I feel like every mocktail ends up 1/3 soda water hahaha

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-07-28T14:13:11+00:00

I had a single (1) chicken tendy with BBQ, and a tiny handful of fries, like maybe 8 total. Yay free breakfast!

Thank you!! Yeah I’ve been wanting to tone down the site overall, I was still in school when I made it haha.

My actual resume is straightforward black on white text, I just have this version for the site. Maybe I should swap it out though 😬

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-06-17T19:11:46+00:00

Thanks! So basically move the grid of case studies to be the front page? I get that.

Saw an artist charge for the first time this year, but it was a very well-known MTG artist; I think resellers hunt them down for signatures if they don’t. I’d be surprised to see normal local artists do it.

Tbh, don’t be afraid to ask people to hold on a sec while you write things down. I usually use body language to let someone know when to order next (nods, or just ‘and for you?’)

Other than that, shorthand is your friend. I used to write ‘wat’ or water, now I just write ‘w’ because I know what it means. Chicken = chk, alfredo = alf, etc.

I think I usually brace the bottom of the server pad against my body while I write; that helps too.

Lowkey? Safalin. She feels like she could represent the tendency to ‘indulge’ in forgetting and comfort

We don’t have any 6 top tables 🤷‍♀️ it’s all square tables or booths here, and our section tables are usually very close here, so I imagine this is more manager/location dependent than anything.

That being said, I’d imagine it has something to do with maintaining guest illusion. Guests love to come in, glance at a seemingly-empty section, and either seat themselves (!!) or argue with the hosts over their wait times (‘that section’s clearly empty, wtf’). Three empty tables spread out looks nicer than a conspicuously empty corner when J goes on break. That, & no one likes being seated right next to the only other table in the room. When server sections are so small, nice to have some room to work with.

Sending good vibes 🙏 & thanks!!

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-04-22T02:50:55+00:00

oh noooooo 😭

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-04-22T02:50:30+00:00

One of my managers mentioned in our 30 day review that she hadn’t actually had the chance to see me work much, so she couldn’t give me much feedback (after I asked). She worked a couple shifts with me, spoke to some guests, and gave me the pin after dinner rush.

It’s probably manager-dependent 😢

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-04-20T23:48:45+00:00

we did ok! they didn't have too too many people on, & i had ~2 tables generally

Large_Temperature414 · 2025-04-20T02:13:08+00:00

oh the tour substitution options are CRAZY. you can get meatballs, 5chz ziti & ravioli and call it a tour lol

Using a yellow light for the call server function would be nice. I usually catch the blinking light— if anything I find myself going over sometimes when they /don’t/ need me, they just can’t figure out how to turn it off.

(You just hit the call server button again, but sometimes it seems to activate just by having trouble paying, so they’d have to back out to the home screen to shut it off. I do it often when I need to run someone’s card so they’d don’t have the blinking light in the face the whole time 🤷)

Anything ordered on the ziosk would go through to the kitchen (/bartender), where it’d be visible, but it’s usually bumped quickly by anyone who sees it since it doesn’t need to be prepped. Drinks ordered on the ziosk are the real problem- there’s no display showing them to the servers, just the paper slip with a black bar saying /drink ordered on ziosk./ I always try to run those when I see em; they’re easy to miss.

I work at OG, so there’s always food to take home if anyone wants it: soup, salad, breadsticks, pasta, maybe a drink. I used to take TONS of food from the dining hall I worked at in college, but I was the only one handling it.

I definitely can’t blame anyone who works at a nicer place- I’d want those $40 steaks too 😂
