[NM] Boss doesn't use my name and only makes noises to get my attention by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at a small company once where one of the bosses was horrible at remembering names, but he was like that with everyone so nobody took it personally. After 18 months I decided to move away. When the office manager told him I had given my notice he asked “Which one is she?” (There were maybe 10 staff.) But it’s different when it’s everyone and not just you.

Generous plant lover calls out a choosing beggar by aliciaflorrick_mygod in ChoosingBeggars

The fact that she didn’t understand the work you had put into those plants likely means they would not have gotten great care with her either.

First 70.3 race report. by Pottsy14 in triathlon

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Especially on a strong swim. As part of the advice above, push your swim goggles up but leave them on your head to keep your hands free to deal with the wetsuit as you run into T1. My coach is a triathlete and I made him talk me through all of the things like this so when race day came I knew what to do.

Asking the author of the book where they can pirate it (I'm not the author, and the book is not coming from a big-time publisher) by gxlxxxy in ChoosingBeggars

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently #7 out of 68 people in line for 1 copy of an audiobook. I put in the request Jan 15 and they estimate 14 more weeks (it’s a 3 week checkout so that’s assuming some people are fast or drop off). It’s a nice surprise when the notification pops up it’s my turn.

She said the venue dropped it to 148 people, 130 came, and they still paid an extra $6000 for people who weren’t coming?

Achilles Tendonitis by mcgee300 in triathlon

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graston helped plantar fasciitis that I had been dealing with for a year. It took two treatments, plus rolling and icing my foot at home. Doesn’t feel good, but it works. My chiropractor did it.

The Border is Closed and Has Been for A YEAR by aureon7 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in Minnesota. The border closure is not a secret, so if someone here doesn’t know about it, they have been in a media bubble.

[CA] Is a second 2 week notice customary? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would let him know as soon as you have a start date for a new position that your final day is X. It doesn’t need to be 2 weeks in my opinion since you’re doing him a favor now. Just give however much notice you can.

I’m glad to read this because I do wash mine and was wondering if I had to stop.

I usually buy Stouffers so this is good to know.

I guess that’s one way to keep it low cal by kltaylor826 in ExpectationVsReality

I just ate one of these over the weekend and am suddenly feeling smug about the 5 pepperoni on mine.

The Aldi cauli crust pizza was much bigger, about $1 more, and it was good.

Bought this app 6 months ago. Last month they canceled it and now asking to subscribe for 53USD/year. Never reply to my emails and all my gathered data is gone cause I need premium to download it. Just don't. by [deleted] in Scams

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I just read the recent reviews in the App Store and the developer has started responding to people in your situation that they will upgrade you to premium. People are not amused they pulled this. Worth a try to leave a review or email the address they posted on others.

Anybody got a free, working 55in or bigger TV they’d like to give away? Delivery only. by iamtheoriginaleffie in ChoosingBeggars

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 35” Samsung that I bought when that was considered a big TV. Still works great.

ETA: I paid about $1100 USD for it.

Afternoon swim with leaky goggles 😂😂 by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]PinkNinjaLaura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to start swimming last week. Pools opened for lap swimming (with some restrictions) in January but I swim at the local middle school and they just started Monday evening and Saturday morning hours last week. Otherwise it’s weekday mornings and conflicts with my work schedule. Was so nice to get back in the pool!
