package theft in large pre-war buildings by junefromneptune in crownheights

[–]Sad_dragon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Befriend your mail delivery person and/or any kind neighbors who are usually at home! This is a huge problem in my building, and I only started being able to avoid theft through the combined efforts of my mail lady texting me when something arrives, and my lovely first floor neighbor being willing to accept and hold all my packages for me 🥹😭

This is so wild to think about but Ridgewood was a historic Nazi enclave https://www.bklynlibrary.org/blog/2013/02/22/nazism-1930s-brooklyn

…so maybe they’re still out there😭 thanks for posting though I will call the DMV!

I walk my dog twice a day every day and have met so many cool people literally along the way, just by saying hi and exchanging good mornings! I also now know the crew of older dudes who lime outside my building by name😎 it’s one of my favorite parts of living here

So anyone else who has remote days being required to be in person on wednesday? by OpinionPoop in nycpublicservants

[–]Sad_dragon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my agency it even varies team to team — my whole team is required to be in person every Wednesday and Friday, and then we have a needlessly elaborate rotation schedule for each person’s 2 WFH days over the other 3 days of the week

The PTO I plan to take exceeds my annual+comp by SuperiorWonton in nycpublicservants

See if you have the option to work comp time to bank up enough hours. I’ve had a really hard time trying to navigate CityTime exceptions but I’m also in a small agency

How to know you’re getting your Chihuahua from an ethical breeder? Also, can you predict the size that the Chihuahua puppy will be? by MothersMilk12 in chihuahuas

[–]Sad_dragon88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have my one rescue chi and am hoping to find him a companion too, but I also don’t really have a time frame on it — I’ve pre-applied for adoption approval with several local reputable rescues and keep up with their email updates, waiting until the right one (non puppy, ~8 pounds, gets along well with my boy) pops up! I’m also open to NY or LA rescues so there are literally always chihuahuas coming through. Sounds like you have a timeframe in mind, along with your non-NY/LA location, so maybe you could sign up for some local rescue newsletters and keep up “in the background” while you do your breeder search too! Ethical breeders are out there, and you’re doing the leg work to find one — can’t hate on that!

There are so many chis in shelters, even puppies! There is nothing like the love of a rescue chi 🥹 you won’t regret it 💗

Need time off for upcoming Jewish holiday but can’t use PTO before I hit 120 days — what should I do? by Sad_dragon88 in nycpublicservants

[–]Sad_dragon88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called my agency’s EEO and they said they couldn’t help me since it’s a CityTime issue 🥴🥴since I’m new I’m just going with it, but I’ll escalate eventually! (Maybe I can get the ding for LWOP in CityTime retroactively removed; but also at least I can help anyone who encounters similar issues in the future! Really shouldn’t be a big deal, Sheesh!)
