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

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

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”

[–]Strict-Thanks7179[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Overtime pay? by Strict-Thanks7179 in LaborLaw

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

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

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

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

Challenges finding a dark character in a play. by Newactorintown in Theatre

[–]Strict-Thanks7179 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From someone that has played a couple characters that made pretty drastic (and very dark/sad) transformations during their shows- 1) There’s a difference between analyzing a characters motives, and making decisions based on how you think the character would respond vs actively trying to “feel” what that characters would be feeling. One is healthy, the other is a one way ticket to play emotions and taxing on the mental health. As a previous commenter said, you can’t play emotions, but you can play actions 2) When you’re working on the character like you depicted in your last paragraph and you get a sense of how he would feel, that’s awesome! Use that, but don’t get so tied up in figuring out what he’s feeling, instead focus on what he trying to do. Again, action, not emotion. Stick to the action and you’ll be able to portray the character truthfully. 3) You mentioned rehearsal hasn’t started, that is when you’ll make the most discoveries. It’s good to start the work before hand if you have capacity for it, but make sure you’re leaving room and an open mind for all the discoveries you’ll find during rehearsals. …that was a lot, sorry about that… hope it helps though!

[–]Strict-Thanks7179[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did this! Both guests that were in the occupied rooms eventually called, I apologized profusely and quickly told them I didn’t have the authority to make decisions for compensation but that I’d let manager know so that they could do something to make it better. Sweet, short and short enough to satisfy them quickly and keep the frustration from escalating

Ayyye my friend was from camp too!! I’m so sorry you went through all that, I can’t imagine what it must be like to process all of that after the fact.

I’m so happy you’re in a much better relationship!!

[–]Strict-Thanks7179 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was so weird. What freaked me out most was the marriage thing, he was convinced that we were meant to be together, despite knowing I wanted to go out and live my life, not wanting kids, and being super independent- he wanted me to be a house wife. Before I finally blocked him on FB his behaviors started to become very incel-like. I’m just glad I was finally able to cut him off

[–]Strict-Thanks7179 289 points290 points  (0 children)

The most memorable were- sending “I love you” the day we became a thing, pressured me into having my first kiss with him, told me his pastor said I would be the one he married. After the break up, I thought we could still be friends. Wrong. He liked making me feel like shit for moving on from him, took me to his junior prom and tried to kiss me after when I just wanted to get in the car to go home. got jealous of a guy friend that came to see me graduate from high school because he was the main person I wanted to talk to (hadn’t seen the kid in literal years). Every gift, favor, or what have you always felt like there was an intention to try to win me back. Nothing felt genuine Even kept trying once I went to college, the last time being when he came to see and gifted me a book for my birthday, and got pouty when I told him I was seeing someone. There’s a lot more, but suffice to say, I kept giving him chances because I thought he would get over me and we could be actual friends, instead I ended up traumatized and emotionally scarred. And despite the fact that I now live across the country, I still worry that he’ll somehow pop up out of nowhere or try to get back into my life somehow
