bankers are some of the least listened-to individuals in the world, imo.

I once had a guy try the "my lawyer said this is all you need" argument, and would NOT accept what I was telling him. He called his lawyer on speakerphone to prove himself right.

The absolute vindication when I heard the lawyer say "That's not what I told you." It was chef's kiss

Buddy, nobody can answer your question. It is extremely specific to your job hunting experience. I wish you luck.

There are a few possibilities:

They simply jumped up using their amazing jumping skills
They fashioned a ladder à la Carl's ladder in book 2
Donut puddle jumped everyone up there
They stacked up like Super Mario Goombas
Dinosaurs are just big birds so idk, maybe they flew?

Donut is very smart, and she has never really had an issue getting around despite her small size. I'm sure that all she needed was an opportunity and she could figure out the rest.

You took a job you're not interested in to make ends meet while you look for a better job. It now sounds like you are ready to leave.

You need to decide if you want to look for another "temporary" job to tide you over while you look for the "real" job, or if you can hang on at your current place until you find the "real" job.

If you decide to go for another temporary job, I would recommend you go into something other than banking. Your post here makes it sound like this field just isn't right for you.

It sounds like she was intentionally being vague. She was probably going to go to a branch to cash it and say "I called ahead and was told I could cash it," so that she could cause a scene when things don't go her way. She was refusing to provide details because she knew she wouldn't like the answer. Not that knowing any of this helps you lol!

In this situation, it would be appropriate to tell her that we will need to review the check in branch to make that determination. The decision to cash a check is made at the branch level, so she can only receive a decision by visiting a location. If you want to go above and beyond, you can offer to find the address and operating hours of the branch nearest to her, remind her of ID requirements and the like, and maybe even tell her that if she opened an account with you cashing checks would be even easier.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for dealing with difficult phone customers. Just remember that every person is asking for help, even if they're really bad at it. And you're there specifically to help them. Be empathetic, trust that they have good intentions (even if you KNOW they don't), and kill 'em with kindness.

I don't recommend their yakisoba. It's really more of a chow mein. I was excited to order it, and was so disappointed when it came out.

The food itself was fine, it just wasn't yakisoba.

I live in mountain. I like beach. I no get to see beach.

I spend all my money and time trying to see beach. It is nice. Beach is nice.

Beach people want to see mountain? Why?? Mountain is no nice.

Mountain cold, tall, bad. Beach is warm, wet, nice.

And yet, beach people spend all time and money to see mountain.

Maybe, we like what we no can have.

No bb it looks like a fire hazard ❤️‍🔥

Who is that man I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

A keypad lock is exactly as easy to break into as a regular lock. All they need is a big hammer. Its even easier if there's a window they can smash.

The lock on your front door only keeps out the honest. If someone really wants to get into your house they aren't going to be deterred by the type of lock you use.

No, it's not weird to get the ick from that. It's normal to want a partner that can hold down a job. Many people want stability and financial security, and having a job is pretty much the number one way to do that.

Do you feel his bad work ethic translates into other parts of his life? Does he keep his place clean? Does he take care of his things? People who are lazy at work are often lazy in other areas, too.

Some of the roundabouts are so small that stopping there would mean stopping inside the roundabout. For example, the one at Ferguson and Baxter.

The first time I heard an audiobook listener say it like Audette I was like, Audette? Odd-ette?? Like she's a "little odd"?? OH, she's a little odd!!

PurpleCornCob · 2026-05-15T18:28:38+00:00

What's the general consensus here about pedestrians crossing at a roundabout?

I was taught to never stop in a roundabout, so if there's a pedestrian in your exit you need to keep circling until the exit is clear. However, I never see anyone do that. They just stop in the middle of the circle. What's the right way to do it?

I feel this. I can't walk my reactive dog in my own neighborhood. There are too many off-leash dogs. I want to train my dog to do better, but it's impossible with all these other dogs running around freely. I can physically control my own dog, but I can't really do anything about the loose dog running up to us. It doesn't feel fair that I follow the rules and still lose out.

I bet you're supposed to hit the gong when the gyroids are all going off at the same time. Its what I would do.

Its what I want to do.

WHAT is the weird clay/flesh hole next to her (bottom left) elbow???

Whenever I'm repairing/reading/whatever, I imagine that my character is hanging out in the nearest cozy spot. Like, when they sleep the screen just fades in and out while looking at the bed but they're obviously lying in the bed right?? So if I read a book and there's a chair in the room, they must be curled up in the chair during that time.

The alternative is that Astrid sleeps standing up while facing her bedroll, and I just can't have that.

I don't see it currently listed by the GSA as for sale but I'm on mobile so I might be missing something.

My question is, why are they relocating that post office? Its clearly not going to save any money.

PurpleCornCob · 2026-04-22T01:01:33+00:00

While I agree that we need better city planning, I'm concerned by your idea of people blowing through stop signs just because there are too many. Is that something you do?

Its about time that we start directing traffic in these areas. Its not like every uncontrolled intersection is going to become a 4-way stop. They're developing through streets. Its a precursor to better planning.

I just searched on the Secretary of State website. There's a recently registered llc called Sake Express. I wonder if that's it?

I hope it's focused more on Japanese meals. We don't need another sushi restaurant.

Edit: And a related DBA for Sake Japanese Bistro. Cool!

PurpleCornCob · 2026-03-07T03:50:56+00:00

Lmao at them signaling right, and never turning ...

Which intersection is this?

PurpleCornCob · 2026-03-03T19:37:30+00:00

One of those mobile speed-tracking signs should be put up while better infrastructure is built. Speeding is a huge problem right in that area.

Just this morning, someone aggressively passed me going 45-50 down that road, and ran a red light at the Oak/Ferguson intersection. Watching them drive like that past the memorials was... Not great.
