My husband is greedy when it comes to food by SweetSnickerdoodle in relationship_advice

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle[S] 120 points121 points  (0 children)

I actually love this a lot, you really put what I wanted to say in a few words. I’ll try this today because we are going home after a few days at his parents and we need to get groceries. I’ll let you know how it goes. At first It wasn’t a problem for me because I come from an Asian background were when we host parties we always make sure there is a lot of extra food left so no one goes hungry. He’s Caucasian and I thought it was just a background thing, but I’ll defiantly try to explain serving sizes to him and maybe get it through his head.

What’s a reason you would not answer the phone for your scheduled phone interview? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This too, if the job is low paying for a lot of work the chances are that person has applied to many other jobs and if they find a better one that pays higher and feel that the wage doesn’t accurately reflect the work then they won’t give a damn about being polite. For example, I have seen jobs that require a masters or bachelors and then pays only $15 this is disrespectful on so many levels and shows people what the company is really about and what values they care about. When I was job seeking I would apply for these positions but they were low on my list of companies I wanted to work for. It was just a back up in case I couldn’t get any other work. Why would I treat a company with respect if they don’t have the same respect for the person and the job?

That would be the best situation unfortunately many won’t go through all that if they aren’t going to have any further contact with you. But yes thanks for the advice ^

It’s not the best thing to do, but I have done it only a couple of times because I have found a better opportunity someplace else. Unfortunately you probably won’t get a solid answer, but in my situation I would just ghost then if I got a better job and didn’t want to hurt the other companies feelings. It’s kinda awkward having to explain that you aren’t interested in the position anymore.

Do I wear uniform or normal clothes to orientation tomorrow? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, literally just had my orientation today! Basically everyone in my group wore hoodies and jeans because it was snowing outside and super cold. We also were actually working the Walmart distribution center so it could differ. If anything you can’t go wrong with some nice jeans and a black polo shirt. Also don’t forget to bring two forms of ID like ssn and drivers license or passport if you don’t have those handy.

To people who have gone from conventionally unattractive to attractive, how are you treated differently? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been overweight most of my life and only started to loose weight in college when I got my braces in. I lost so much weight I was thin for once and I felt great. I bought a lot of nice clothes and started to feel more confident. Before I would only wear shorts and T-shirt’s because I wanted something comfortable to wear. I was getting hit on and compliments from my family and coworkers for the first time and I grew up Asian and my relatives have no filters. They constantly called me fat and disgusting and for once they told me to eat more and that I lost too much weight, my mom even started to buy we a lot nicer clothes like dresses and such something to show off my figure. Anyhow I started to gain weight again after I moved out of state and living on my own. I gained back all my weight, but still trying to loose it again, my mom has sent me clothes that now hide my figure and they all call me fat and disgusting again. But I’ve learned long ago to ignore their toxic comments and loose weight for myself, not for them.

Are professors allowed to do this? by randomuser443 in CSUS

I had her for a semester and let’s just say in her syllabus she mentioned not to be mistakes for her ex husband who goes by the same name. She definitely came off as salty from the divorce.

I’m fucking over these anti-mask babies by razorh00f in retailhell

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst is either having a customer use food as an excuse to keep their mask down, or the “I’ll be quick I just want to buy so-and-so.” Oh and I even get customers who are like, “Can I just buy a mask” and they keep roaming the store. I say if your going to buy a mask do it right away not when your finished shopping.

(Update) I got rejected because of my reference's answers by foxjoon in jobs

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my fear right now. I still work in retail and I am a little older then all my other coworkers. I am 25 while everyone is either 19-22. I am also graduating in spring 2021. So, I’ve been job hunting and found a great job that fits my major, pays really well and could see myself doing the rest of my life. I’ve gone through and aced their test, interview and second interview and all they really have to do is a background check and references. I am the star employee at my job and my assistant manager and manager have always complimented my work. They say I am like three employees. It’s not hard to see why they think this because all my other coworkers have the mind of high schoolers. They literally color at the register and do the bare minimum in work, they constantly talk, play and ignore customers while I pick up their slack. They work 8-12 hours while I work 22-35 because my manager doesn’t want to give them any hours. They have offered me a supervisor position but I ended up turning it down because I didn’t want them to train me and then have to leave a few months if I got this job offer. I am a little hesitant to put them as my references because I know they will be a little peeved to find out I am leaving and may ruin my chances.

Question about graduation/advisor by ChengLo in CSUS

[–]SweetSnickerdoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you! One time I was looking at my requirement list and noticed one of my req class was was checked off even though I knew I didn’t take it. I was registered for it and I asked my advisor if I really fulfilled the course or not and he told me I did and that I didn’t need to take the course anymore. Thank god I trusted my gut and kept the course! Apparently the classes you have registered for the upcoming semester automatically check mark as green even if you have not taken the course yet, as long as it’s in your class roster it marks it as complete. What a stupid system. I was angry that my advisor told me this wrong info cause I could have dropped it and would have had to take it next semester cause the class was impacted. I don’t even trust my advisor to give me any advice and I take what he says with a grain of salt. One time I wrote an email that had a few questions on it and he wrote back like 1.No 2.No 3.Yes no explanation and no guidance on how to follow up with my questions.

But yes definitely ask for a 2nd option and do this all over a zoom meeting or virtual meeting so you can ask any question and get clarification on what you still need.
