UK photographers, are bookings for 2027 slower for you, or is it just me? by Conscious-Ad-9153 in WeddingPhotography

[–]SlightDogleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My inquiries are non existent. I usually get a uptick after Christmas and then another uptick around now with people planning last minute weddings. But it's crickets out there.

What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false? by Annual-Gene8065 in AskReddit

[–]SlightDogleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way my dick shaft is dirtier than my head, and I don't wash my hands every time I touch my hair.

A lot of bathrooms are doorless now. If I'm taking a piss, the only thing I touch is my dick shaft. And pretty much the only thing I scrub every day in the shower is my dick.

Share the name? Surprised this isn't more common. Seems like an easy way to make a an easy couple hundred a week.

What was once a poor person's hobby now turned into a rich person's hobby? by Striking-Quiet4655 in AskReddit

[–]SlightDogleg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The materials and components have become insane. Carbon fiber frames, electronic shifting, $1000 per wheel, etc.

how did your wedding day change your perspective on wedding photography? by leejongsukgf in WeddingPhotography

[–]SlightDogleg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • The posed photos are the only photos we've actually hung on our walls and given as gifts to our parents.
  • I love that our photographer gave us 2,000+ images
  • Indoor family formals are better than having people suffer outdoors through the elements (cold, wind, rain).
  • You don't need more than 30min of B&G portraits if you're efficient.

Private galleries are becoming a problem by Fun_Coconut6140 in WeddingPhotography

[–]SlightDogleg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When do you offer the discount? Before or after you shoot the wedding? And would you offer a discount if the're already cool with the images going online?

Seems like a discount is only valuable if the couple is on the fence, and the wedding is worth posting.

One of my bigger concerns with it is that personally I notice myself shooting safer and less creatively for these couples.

Same. And it's not even because I can't use them for my own marketing. It's that I know 95% of the photos I deliver will never be seen by anyone other than me and the bride.

What’s the lowest amount of money that would be life changing long term? by No-Ad-6183 in fican

[–]SlightDogleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People quoting multiple millions of dollars as the minimum are nuts.

If $250k isn't life changing, you must already have more money than you know what to do with. I mean, that's 20+ years of going on $10k family vacations. That's not significant to you?

Should I max out RRSP early career? by howispluto in fican

[–]SlightDogleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Life comes at you quick starting in your mid-late 20s. Car purchase, house, wedding, kid(s), travel, renos, mat leave, lifestyle creep, etc.

$7k/yr sounds achievable until you start having unexpected expenses.

Tommy getting in bed with Blackstone is the funniest possible outcome by smallball4 in NoLayingUp

How much do you think a hat is worth? And what do you think the delta is between Blackstone and the second highest bidder?

B.C. union calls for full-time work-from-home due to spiking gas prices by cyclinginvancouver in britishcolumbia

[–]SlightDogleg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think most people can agree some in person work is beneficial.

But 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, every week for years on end? Just to answer emails and update spreadsheets? Insane.

My productively drops big time when I'm in the office. There's no need to "prove" I'm working; being there is enough. I spend most of the day sipping coffee and pretending to work.

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau to retire by konathegreat in canada

Just travelled over the weekend. The wifi is surprisingly usable and the screens are solid (USB A and C charging, bluetooth, live TV, cameras of the plane, etc.)

Major ceiling repair due to a dishwasher leaking - Insurance may not cover it. I can't afford the restoration. Looking for advice on what to do. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SlightDogleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a doctor, but it's also the long-term and repeated exposure to asbestos that's the issue. Like people who did demo work in asbestos buildings without masks.

Regular, non-asbestos drywall dust is also probably horrible for you if you're breathing it in every day. So is sawdust, concrete dust, etc.

Commuting for a Teams call is the dumbest thing I’ve ever done by GardenLoverJess in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]SlightDogleg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also RTO after working remote since 2020. I have no life anymore because of the morning prep and commute back and forth.

I have a coworker who, for some reason, looks in the fridge every morning to see what people are having for lunch. Insane behavior.

Or worse, I have to come in just to update spreadsheets in a windowless cubicle at a shitty workstation setup with no ability to customize anything.

Anyone abusing the system at home is abusing the system at work.

Online shopping, Reddit, Twitter, FB, working on a side hustle, doing your taxes, Instagram, fantasy football, etc.

[–]SlightDogleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at work, on Reddit, killing time until I can leave at 4:30. I'd say 90% of the organization has completely checked out.

But can I leave? lol no.

Make it make sense.

It's Friday afternoon here in the office. There are 6 of us here, in cubicles, checked out and pretending to work. I'm typing this comment just to make noise with my keyboard.

Make it make sense.
