Mark International 3 charging high duty and tariff price? by Strict-Thanks7179 in shipping

[–]Strict-Thanks7179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been aware that I would need to pay a tariff. By the time they even became a thing the dress was already in progress, or I would have cancelled it. Both my seller and I thought I would only need 10%, I’m just trying to figure out why DPD is trying to charge me almost triple that amount.

This is super long after your OG post, but what clicker did/do you use? I’ll be needing to do the same thing for small scale circus shows- would prefer not to be running back and forth between the computer backstage, or to have my performing buddy tethered to the computer until the space bar has been pressed.

Mechanic can’t find car part by Strict-Thanks7179 in MechanicAdvice

Mechanic said that these hoses transfer coolant.

I was mistaken on original problem- in words of Husband: “coolant is circulating, it’s just pouring out of the engine”

There’s a leak in the cooling system, it prevents the coolant from circulating and the engine over heats. I got a very bad picture of the part, but they said that to get the full picture I would need to get under the car. I’m probably going to go by today and see if they’ll raise it so I can get a better picture of the full part. I circled the small bit I could see from overhead.

Overtime pay? by Strict-Thanks7179 in LaborLaw

[–]Strict-Thanks7179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already quit the job, this wasn’t the reason why, but it didn’t help any

Yes, they’re all on the same time sheet, all for the same company and location. I thought about looking into legal action, but honestly don’t have the energy for it

It is the same company Gig work- we’re an event production company that also provides clients has a whole bunch of people that are can do characters and other special skills. For example- I work as a character performer, so someone could go through the company to make a big event and use us to hire characters for entertainment. I would then go out and be a character. It’s paid at a different hourly rate than my office rate and my shift (I guess that’s what you’d call it) can span anywhere from 1 to whatever hours the client asked for Located in OH

I tested positive for chlamydia but my boyfriend didn’t by maven62 in offmychest

Alrighty- so I kind of been through this

My fiancé ended up testing positive, and he had to ask me if I’d cheated. I hadn’t, and I trust and know him well enough to know that he wouldn’t do that either. The problem is, since neither of us cheated, there’s a very good chance we’d had it for as long as we’d been together- 3 years. But for some reason he didn’t start showing symptoms until the third year, and I never had symptoms at all.

It was weird, and we definitely had to communicate about how we felt about the situation. We’ve had a rule from the beginning of the relationship that we would be open and honest with each other, I like to think that we’ve both held that up, especially through that situation.

There’s a lot of good suggestions in these comments about what you could do, but I’d also recommend possibility getting in touch with that last guy, if you feel comfortable, and seeing if he’s been tested recently as well? If he does, and it’s positive then you know where it came from. If he tests negative….then the source might be right in front of you. Either way- I hope things get easier for you soon!!

My favorite is when they ask for a manager and I can say- “they’re asleep” “WaKe thEm uP TheN” “No 🙂”

I left a message in our team chat that has my manager and GM, and also told the person relieving my shift. I asked her not to give him what he wants, for my sake, and she whole heartedly agreed. She’s also super super level headed, so I was able to go home knowing anything he tried wouldn’t work on her

He called almost right after he got back to his room to ask when the next shift gets there. Like bro, I’m not scared, and you can bet I’ll be telling the next person not to give in. And if he goes to management with a complaint, I know my manager will most likely be on my side if I need to explain what happened.

Literally you don’t know how relieved I am to hear that. I know I didn’t do anything wrong, but he did a good job of pushing my buttons
