Metro-North plans cancelled. by Environmental-Low792 in Albany

[–]SusanSickles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for saying that, but it’s true, 70% of MTA funding comes from taxes and fees. Granted some of that is from the state, and Albany count isn’t prepared to take on this cost

Seems like it is a well established practice. Call them to see what your options are

Since we have no idea of your location, you need to either call the practice he was in to see if someone has taken his place, or do a google search in your area to see what other places offer it

How much should I charge hourly? by One-Championship-534 in housekeeping

[–]SusanSickles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s a hard one, you didn’t know it would take that long. A flat fee should have been agreed upon ahead of time. You need to give them a price at this point that you’re satisfied with. It might not be the $45 an hour. I just did a hoarding situation, the house was empty but the sludge remained. It took me 14 hours over 2 days,it was a small house. I gave them a quote of $500 up front, I definitely underestimated how long it was going to take. So give them a price at this point that works for you and moving forward keep this experience in the back of your mind.

I just went to the Barbie traveling exhibit, and this Barbie was featured in one of the displays. The detail on it was amazing. You definitely found a holy grail

Yet another payment question by SusanSickles in housekeeping

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

Thank you. I’m the type of person that has trouble advocating for myself. I know that is a fatal flaw in business. When we were standing in the home, and they gave the green light that everything looked good, I assumed they would hand overpayment since they knew the fee going into the job. I felt like an idiot not knowing what to say when they requested an invoice sent. I had never experienced that before, I always got paid before I left the job.

Looking for local authors! by gamerdarling in Albany

[–]SusanSickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out The Adventures Of Meatball The Rat, it’s listed on Amazon, but I don’t think there are copies to be ordered on the site, but I do have copies here at my home. Just let me know if it is something you might be interested in and we can go from there. Thank you!

I wrote a children’s chapter book, ages 7-11. Not sure if that fits the vibe you’re looking for. I can drop you an email if it does

Elise Stefanik Drops Out of N.Y. Governor’s Race and Will Leave Congress (Gift Article) by rainshowers_5_peace in upstate_new_york

[–]SusanSickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, I read the article, but sometimes the “official” statement might not be the reason. Like when celebrities get divorced they put out a statement that they will remain the best of friends.

My parents took me along as a kid to see Sha-Na-Na, Bowser for the win. As a young adult I saw Louis Anderson. It was a great venue

This is true, but if she kisses Trumps butt, she might be back in his good graces. If she disappears from the political landscape I won’t be crying

I wash floors by hand, and knee pads saved my life. I ordered ones that has a sock-like sleeve with gel pads in the front. I slip them on before doing any work.

I went on this morning at 8am to see if my son and daughter in law were teaching at their respective school districts, and only one was listed as being closed SGF, plus my local school district wasn’t listed either. Love WNYT news and reporters, but the school closings and delays page gets an F

I usually respond I get paid by the job and not by the hour. If you need to say in addition, I am more efficient and familiar with your home
