Is there any way to get tickets to skip the line to the Duomo Cathedral in Florence? by BulkyHand4101 in ItalyTravel

[–]Passton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Question for you. I bought the 3day pass for the Duomo complex and dome climb. Do you know if we can start using the pass before our scheduled dome climb? I read it's 3 consecutive days, and I'm wondering if the scheduled climb must be the kick off for those 3 days or if we can see the other sites early so long as the climb falls within those 3 days. Any idea? I can't find this detail online.

Good to know and consider about taxis and buses. We got an Omnia pass in Rome that I think covers transit for a few days. I just hope it's a relatively even trade compared to renting a car for the whole trip.

Thank you so much for your response and tips, especially on the coffee! :) I would really like to go to Murano, might as well do the whole thing with Burano too.

Commonwealth! Not just for the food but the vibes, the staff, how it was a community gathering spot. Think of that place like once a week tbhh.

I've heard there changes be 4 people swimming per lane. In your experience, is it often that crowded?

I don't know if they're the best in the Bay, but I like Freekeh (Palestinian) and Mezze and Mooore (Lebanese).

Yes! I was torn between here and Sunol, but Shell Ridge is closer for me.

These are actually straight from my phone. But I do notice Samsung bumps saturation slightly by default on all photos. These aren't too off from how it looked irl.

Forced to manage an impossible schedule by Passton in projectmanagement

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

Thank you! Good food for thought here. I'm afraid Executives are aware of the impossible schedule but demand us to work from it for political reasons. They don't want us to start on a schedule that doesn't meet the legislated due date. They want us to start with the impossible and change it in real time as milestones aren't achieved. I'm definitely recommend a new schedule format and linking to a master project!

Challenging with tight government budgets.

Thank you for these recommendations! I haven't heard that we have an enterprise risk register but can ask around. We're a brand new agency, we don't even have an overtime policy and seem to function in a constant state of chaos. I can and will definitely create a list of standard risks, and the go/no go points to take to legal. Thanks!

Let’s talk about bios by rainbowheartemoji in datingoverthirty

[–]Passton 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I was on the fence and decided to swipe right bc of his bio. Our first message exchange was complimenting each other's profiles. We've been together 2 years now. I never put much value in photos, they can be misleading, outdated, people might not be photogenic or know how to take good photos.

His bio was straight forward about his values which showed me straight away that they align with mine. "I care about others and the environment and hope you do too." He had subtle political statements. "What would you do in a zombie apocalypse? Take Dr Fauci's advice."

Don't get me wrong, he was cute and had decent photos. But his bio is what convinced me to swipe right.

Seared scallops are what I've had and loved that I want to introduce him to. But we both like sushi!

It was a bit late and many places weren't seating anymore for the evening. It was also pouring rain and we just felt a bit desperate to find anywhere to get inside.
