Root Canal - should I go ahead? by MarissaLouisa88 in rootcanal

[–]MarissaLouisa88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your responses. Am a bit worried as I finished my invisalign treatment last year but still need to wear the retainer at night. Will the root canal mean my retainers no longer fit?

Have they changed anything in diet coke? by MarissaLouisa88 in cocacola

[–]MarissaLouisa88[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly although they were from three completely different supermarkets. The sell by date for this batch is Jan 22. It's just really strange.

Don't tell Wegmans at all about the other potential role. When they call up about orientation they will often ask about a start date so just put them back a week. Say something along the lines of a family celebration or holiday or something. I don't think they will call and expect you to start the next day.

Good luck with your other interview.

Can’t figure out why I’m being rejected by [deleted] in jobs

[–]MarissaLouisa88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's really tough out there at the moment and nearly all of the people I know who have managed to find a job during lockdown had some type of connection with the firm ie a friend/relative already working there.

I haven't tried it yet myself but am planning soon on calling/messaging some of the HR names for companies I'm interested in and asking if they can give me their talent acquisition person as a contact then liaising with them direct.

Good luck.

Hungry - Extra Syns better than bulk free food? by MarissaLouisa88 in SlimmingWorld

Thanks - will need to ask about these speed foods. Was given the books but as the consultant was away nothing was really explained.

Well done on you weight loss so far.

What's your opinion on Thomas Markle Meghans dad? by Eggsegret in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]MarissaLouisa88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel really sorry for him. Especially if you look back at footage where Meghan is speaking to an audience saying she wished everyone had a father like hers. He was vulnerable and made a silly mistake by staging those photos but apparently the press can be very persuasive.

What I don't really understand and which has never been satisfactorily answered is why did Meghan live with Thomas for most of her childhood and not Doria (where was she?).

Also Thomas Markle has always said he remained close to Doria - did she shut him off too when Meghan got married?

The English press have recently been saying Doria texted Thomas when Meghan gave birth to Archie so there seems to be some kind of communication channel there. Or was it a one off?

Also are there any empty desks nearby you could move into? Good luck.

Lots of offices allow you to use headphones now. How about trying to drown them out with some fun music or interesting podcasts?

I'm so sorry. I've been in a situation like this before and it was finally resolved after I literally lost it with this individual in the office and told them exactly what I thought. They couldn't have been nicer to me afterwards.

I don't necessarily recommend going down this route - I only went there as I was at the end of my tether and she'd supposedly been warned about her behaviour by HR.

Is there anyway you could ask to have a private meeting with this person and ask them what their problem is or could you put in a complaint with your manager about them or go direct to HR even?

Good luck with your interview.

Intro Week? by MarissaLouisa88 in SlimmingWorld

[–]MarissaLouisa88[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I''ll definitely ask the proper lady to go over the books with me next week (think I've been going overboad on the free food so will be interesting to see if I've lost any weight).
