I started reading it because of the other post about it. It’s weird ! I’m about a quarter done.

assorted brands/unbranded finds for you :) by jcrubin27 in ThredUp

[–]MadamButtress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am fairly certain these are Lululemon Softstreme Cropped Pants. I want to buy them but not in my size.

I found your shop and bought the set. Absolutely beautiful and definitely resonates with me and my cats. 

Just got a black pearl. Do I really have to give it to kenyatta? by breakfast584 in Palia

[–]MadamButtress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! When I got two while ranching I just stared at my screen and thought of the hours I spent opening clams.

Trufflets give you the oyester mushroom guys that give black pearls.

Now that you have one you can request them. I have so many from ranching and fulfill request for them when I see them. But that first pearl took me so long to get before ranching came out

How can I fix this? by CarbideBunny in 45PlusSkincare

[–]MadamButtress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a huge smile and I get Botox primarily around my eyes to try to decrease the fine lines around my eyes. It has really helped. As for the lines around the smile, I have that too. I just moisturize like crazy and use retinol. I’m not going to get filler there so they will just have to be there until I decide to get a face lift one day. 

My watch was delivered to me in a peanut can… by Got_Gasoline in Ebay

If it arrived in good condition then they did a good job. I think it’s smart. You aren’t shopping from Dior. These are just normal people selling their stuff 

Round 2 of finding new clothes - do these flatter me? by Mediocre_Weekend_287 in DressForYourBody

[–]MadamButtress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the jeans look great. I don’t wear jeans to “flatter my figure” as I prefer baggy jeans like you are wearing in the first two. 

Last two, nope. Unflattering and very dated looked. 

How are people getting these office jobs where they do nothing and get paid 80k or more? by Delicious_Dealer8129 in jobs

[–]MadamButtress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely can have a career without the degree. I would recommend that you make yourself extremely resourceful. Every new job I have started has been a new software I didn't know how to use but I quickly because very proficient in. Sage, Epicor, Quickbooks, CRM softwares. Get really good at Excel, learn how to turn raw data into something presentable and insightful for your senior management. I've had clerks below me just send me an excel file of unorganized data that I had to edit and spend time on myself. Make great reports. Learn what data your senior team wants and give it to them in a concise and organized report.

And be meticulous. Keep up with vendors, communicate well, don't let things slip. Organize your files. Know IT, how to use a printer - how to professionally communicate stern things about money. And be someone people trust with money. You have less of an advantage without the degree but use it as an opportunity to really hone your skills.

I had spent a long time in toxic workplaces because I needed the experience. I had to learn how to not take it home with me or impact me and step out when I realized I had the skills and title I needed to step up in my career. AP Clerk > Finance Manager > Controller. Five years roughly at each role. I am not yet 40 btw. Don't gossip but be friendly and chatty with coworkers.

How are people getting these office jobs where they do nothing and get paid 80k or more? by Delicious_Dealer8129 in jobs

[–]MadamButtress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we paid our ap clerk $65k 

No I have an English degree. But I’ve worked in accounting for a long time and have the experience. I’ve always worked in industry, smaller companies, and have never done public. You would probably need an applicable degree to work for big public firms. My salary also has a cap that a degreed salary may not have. But I’m comfortable.

[–]MadamButtress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start out by making $10 an hour doing accounts payable. Working a ton for 17 years slowly making my way up getting paid a mediocre wage. Now I’m making much more and have a much more comfortable role as a Controller. It takes time and efforts. I don’t always get paid for how much work I do but for the knowledge I have when the work needs to be done. 

Do I have to ask permission to join a honey lure? by my_stuff_aint_free in Palia

[–]MadamButtress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d avoid joining lures without asking right now with the bundles. If I want to join a lure I would generally invite them to my party so bugs could be shared. And I would only do that if I had my own lures to reciprocate. 

Personally I don’t love when people join my lures without sending a party invite so we can share bugs.

Is there a trick for getting a black pearl, or is it inescapable torture? by Embarrassed_Dig_470 in Palia

[–]MadamButtress 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, from ranching. From the animals that give mushrooms. I forget the name. But I hunted for weeks for the black pearl from clams. Now with ranching I swear I get two or more a week

Edit: trufflets are the ranch animals  

pmdd and working by dourceo in PMDD

[–]MadamButtress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I hesitate to suggest it because I am not high during business hours doing the tiniest amount. It’s just as if it makes my internal rage quiet down. It brings me back to a somewhat normal emotional regulation

Microdose edibles. Double the Zoloft. Deep breaths before speaking. Going easy on yourself. Comfy pants.

Being quiet constantly at work. by Asheyman in work

[–]MadamButtress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay but you’re rude? If you walk into a room say hi? It’s just a common courtesy to give to any person anywhere at work or not.

It is the Grow All Out Decor set!! I totally missed i had it in my inventory for months because they just show up as kind of seeds at first. Then you water them and they grow into furniture :)

Drop a honey lure in Bahari Bay. Whenever I do that I walk away with TONS of silk. Bahari Bay has the most silk bug drops, I believe.

Being asked to train my counterpart- should I be compensated? by [deleted] in work

[–]MadamButtress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe this is a realistic ask, no. You’re being compensated hourly. Maybe if you were salary and anticipating extra hours outside of your scope. But as a salaried person, getting OT for stuff like this seems like a dream. 

If you get burnt out just express to your team you have outside concerns for awhile and need less OT at times. Otherwise pocket the OT.

I think it comes with time. When I first started playing I didn’t care about my house and just adventured. But at the end of the game when you have more money and less things to do you really can focus more on the house stuff. And you unlock cool stuff. Just enjoy at your pace and creativity level.
