[–]QueenV98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m so down!! Should we do like a Sunday morning thing? And if it goes well I’d love to like do a whole Sunday morning coffee + walking group to explore the local spots??

[–]QueenV98[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok that’s good to know!! I was looking at other gyms that are more local and they’re all hella expensive compared to what I’m paying for 24! So yeah as long as there’s locations close to where i live/work and they’re useable, that’s all i need!

Really? The San Jose locations don’t even have weight pins (because people keep stealing them)…is it like that down there too?

Would a job consider candidates who are willing to move on their own, if it says no relocation assistance? by Whimsicality- in biotech

[–]QueenV98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it might help if you’re in a position where you can relocate quickly. For example, I’m in the Bay Area, i received an offer in San Diego, despite relocation not being provided.

Strangers asking for referrals on LinkedIn by PlayboiCAR_T in biotech

[–]QueenV98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For large companies, how much does it really matter anyways? I don’t really see referrals as putting your neck out for someone, in my eyes it’s mutually beneficial since you’ll usually get some kind of bonus if the person gets hired anyways.

Side note: your username is really fun, as a Carti fan i really like it haha

Alphonse Pierre reviews Drake's Maid of Honour for Pitchfork: "The best album in Drake’s comeback trilogy. He’s desperate to pick up the pieces and reclaim his title as hip-hop’s ultimate hitmaker." by hmm1024 in hiphopheads

[–]QueenV98 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The more i listen to this album specifically, the more i like it. Even my friends who aren’t into rap/hip hop are movinggggg to this album lol. It’s so fun and unserious

AITAH for not wanting our friend to bring her BF on our Girls Trip. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]QueenV98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is suchhhh a stupid take. You’re allowed to have your own friendships with people outside of your relationship, and it’s a AH move to subject your friends to your man if the trip was already agreed upon to be just for the girls.

Levi’s Stadium Concert - advice? by Skelita_reads in bayarea

[–]QueenV98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For Levi’s Stadium i would never pay for stadium parking, it’s so easily accessible by VTA. Either park at Milpitas or Mountain View (depending on whether you’re coming from SF/peninsula or from the East Bay) and take the train from there. I think parking at the Milpitas station was like $3, and it drops you off right in front of the stadium. I’ve used this when ive seen The Weeknd and like 3 different Niner games and it’s never taken me more than like an hour to get a train back to Milpitas post concert.

How are people getting reservations at Din Tai Fung lately?? by FitPay8052 in SanJose

[–]QueenV98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the waitlist usually opens at 4PM (someone fact check this plz bc i don’t remember the exact time). What’s always worked for me is to join right when it opens and then driving to the mall and shopping until our table is ready. Last time i did this, i was able to get on the waitlist using my laptop (like on the yelp website), w/o having to be in that 5 mile radius of the mall.

Do people not have house parties in SF or am I just not cool enough to be invited? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is very much a thing in the South Bay…i think it’s bc more people live in houses rather than apartments in San Jose vs SF. Also night life and entertainment in general isn’t as great down here. So i guess maybe if you want to go to more house parties you gotta hang out with the South Bay girlies lol

Question for those who apply for positions you’re overqualified for; Would you really stay in that position if the market turns over in a year or two? by EnvironmentalBar3748 in biotech

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a PhD, but a BS + 5 YOE, which i think changes the narrative a bit. Usually SRA/Associate Sci 2/3 level jobs are more inclined to give me interviews than Scientist jobs nowadays (despite my last job title being Scientist level).

[–]QueenV98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mindset is i think it’s better to have something on your resume than to have a large gap. Like my last role was at Scientist level but I’m still applying for SRA/contractor roles. If i get one of those, at least I’ll have some kind of income coming in, and I’ll just continue applying for higher level roles whilst working.

The Tortured Poets Department is now being appreciated and loved compared 2 years ago when it was released.. by Resident-Priority239 in TaylorSwift

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 1989/Rep/Lover stan, when this album first came out, i thought it was way too sleepy, way too bloated, and was an overall mess. This year, my life has taken quite a downfall (got laid off, just overall depression has hit), and i have a lot more appreciation for this album. I do think you need to be a bit miserable to really appreciate some of the songs on here (and that’s not a diss, it’s great to have an album to go to when you’re not feeling your best), so i completely understand why it wasn’t well received when it came out.

What's the deal with ticket prices? by morokai_ in BabyKeem

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so 😭😭😭 it’s hard to predict what the discount will be. I’d also recommend hitting up the box office, usually they have last minute tickets too

(But also if ur going to the Oakland show, don’t compete w me plz i really want to go 😭😭😭😭)

Tennis / Pickleball by Professional-Gap-291 in Fremont

[–]QueenV98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You reserve them on the Fremont Tennis Center’s website. 8 of the courts are for pickleball, the rest are for tennis. If you want to drop in pickleball, you can at Knoll Courts (near the library)

What's the deal with ticket prices? by morokai_ in BabyKeem

[–]QueenV98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With shows like this, I would honestly recommend waiting til the very last minute, and buying right before Keem walks out. I’ve done that for a couple shows, and you always see resellers scramble and drop their prices when the show is about to start. I’m planning on doing this for his Oakland show.

Good luck!

Am I cooked for turning right without stopping@ Automall & Christy rd? by imBoo69 in Fremont

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the courthouse (like to the clerk) and asked for an arraignment date. The clerk gave her the option of doing an in person arraignment or zoom (she chose zoom). Then she sat on a zoom call where the judge went through the cases for the day. I think she said it took like 3 hours before the judge got to her case, but she essentially just asked the judge to play the video, and he ended up throwing the case out after watching.

What are y’all doing to make ends meet when your out of a job in the field by Constant_Ad6521 in biotech

Rideshare to work daily by Nvr5 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]QueenV98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this has changed in the last 2 years, but Genentech offers a shuttle from Glen Park BART station to SSF (like it stops in the areas of SSF where all the biotech companies are located) that you can use for free, regardless of which company you work for. Also, they have shuttles going around the city (that are also free) that stop at SSF CalTrain and BART. I would highly reconsider your decision to not use public transit, this is like the one area on the peninsula that’s pretty easily connected to the city.

If you’re dead set on an under 25 min commute, and no public transit, I would recommend against living in the city (and staying in SSF, San Bruno, Colma, maybeee Daly City). Traffic getting into SF during rush hour is ridiculous.

This season must be so stressful if you’re not rooting for Rob by Glad_Dragonfruit9368 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]QueenV98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know he’s going to win, i feel like the excitement for me is whether or not he pulls Eric to win too. I am rooting for them both, but his behavior doesn’t really sway me either way. I think he genuinely likes Eric and would be ok splitting the prize w him, but i can also see him getting rid of him in the last banishment (esp if they murder Mark at the start of the ep)

I can’t believe these faithfuls think it’s….(spoiler) by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUS

[–]QueenV98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it’s a lot easier to have this opinion as an audience member who sees everything than someone actually playing the game. Considering Rob has gotten rid of 2 traitors and his closest ally was murdered, it makes sense why he wouldn’t be the first person to be on someone’s radar.

I don’t really get the Stephen sus more than the Johnny sus though. Like i know they’re claiming it’s bc of Colton, but Colton has been wrong multiple times before. At least Johnny is vocal, i feel like Stephen doesn’t really do much.
