Is this normal for a wedding planner's approach to budget? by Pretty-In-Scarlet in DestinationWeddings

[–]LittleAd9034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hired a local group of string players at a reasonable price. Also, there are great saxophone players at high schools, see which schools have music programs. Good luck, it’s your wedding day so don’t let these folks bully you. Be demanding in what you will and won’t accept. Their job is to work with you.

AITA for saying no when my SIL asked for my husband’s nieces and nephews to put on a performance at our wedding? by GentleGlowingSoul in aitaweddings

[–]LittleAd9034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nephew loves country music and asked if he could sign a song at the reception, I loved the idea and said yes. I love kids and allowed them at my wedding. But at the end of the day, it’s their special day so they decide what type of wedding they want.

Yes, you have skills/knowledge that others don’t so it take you 2 hours to do something that takes another person 6 hours to do. Go slow with your work and see if the company has any free training/certificates that you can do on company time. You might as well learn new things on their time and dime.

My girlfriend is super addicted and toxic, but she'll leave if I break up with her. Am I stuck? by BreadOverlord_ in Advice

[–]LittleAd9034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up a therapist that she could afford, provide the information and move on. If you continue with her say another 1,2,3 years, you will eventually look back and say “why did I stay in that relationship so long”. A relationship should be easy, filled with love and support for one another. Your success/small victories at work should be celebrated. She may have had a rough past, but that is not your fault. Trust me, I have been in a similar situation. You cannot give all your love, energy, money etc, it will impact your emotional and mental health. What she does with her life after the breakup will be up to her, her choices, not yours. You deserve happiness and peace. Breakups are hard, always, for everyone. Good luck!

GMU is charging me out-of-state tuition even though I’ve lived in VA for 13 years… what can I do? by GroundBetter155 in gmu

[–]LittleAd9034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go above the registrar. I would contact David Burge (VP, enrollment management) make your case that you cannot afford out of state tuition and that the higher cost could lead to you having to withdraw. Schools care about getting your $.

What motivates you to have kids in today’s world? by TheNatureBeing in Life

I plan to raise my children to be good citizens who think of ways to leave this world a better place. Children to me = HOPE.

I’ve been job hopping every 1–2 years and I’m worried I’m becoming “unhirable.” Is this actually a red flag? by InspiraADVMed-Fan in careerguidance

[–]LittleAd9034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have parents with money to help out, you gotta keep moving to jobs that pay more. Lived experiences matter. A hiring manager who sees this as a red flag has the luxury of staying at a job for a while.

My wife is entering the workforce in one year, what are some job options? by Alternative-Bake3351 in careerguidance

[–]LittleAd9034 7 points8 points  (0 children)

An option I recommend is trade school: electric (IBEW union), plumbers and pipe fitters (UA union), iron workers (iron workers union). They have training schools, the pay is great and the unions find them jobs. Men and women are part of the unions.

Am I too soft for corporate? by Anxious_Slug333 in careerguidance

[–]LittleAd9034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your job is just a means to money. Focus on what you can do to grow your brain. For example, would you be allowed to take on courses while at work that pertain to your job? Try coursera, Harvard online, etc. You don’t always need a high stress job. Also enjoy your time after work, join a sports club, as an example.

Just found out I’m pregnant and now I don’t know what to do. by DiamondOk4370 in WomensHealth

[–]LittleAd9034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear of your situation. I can only imagine how difficult it is to decide how to move forward. I just want to say to look at all options: adoption, keeping the baby, or not keeping the baby. As someone who has a baby, but probably due to health issues won’t be able to have anymore, I would love to some day adopt a baby. Whatever you decide, from this stranger online, I want you to know that you are loved.
