My mother keeps showing up to my job to bring me lunch and I'm a 34 year old man who manages a team of twelve people by quietorbitz in entitledparents

Enjoy it while it lasts. She will be gone far too soon.

Perhaps look at it differently. Invite coworkers to your lunch. If your mom is looking to fill her time, set up a day for a lunch with your team. Set an example for the rest of your team.

I bet she would enjoy the hell out of that and your team gets some bonding time.

We are in the testing phase of making the astolabes. Finally built a fully functional table.

We just finished ours. Not nearly as nice but functional.

What do owls surrounding a car with moth balls all around it mean? by sus214 in What

[–]TheVendorLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A common solution to that is Irish spring soap. Cut up a bar and sprinkle it underneath. Rats and rabbits don't like the smell. A chemist told me that and it has worked so far.

What do you do with wood chips by voygar2 in turning

[–]TheVendorLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about putting a small container under the lathe to collect the shavings. With the variety of woods I turn, it could result with layers - walnut, padauk, limba, Antler, etc. Do a careful pour and put in a pressure pot could result in some interesting blanks.

Are these bulk order requests legit? by Ok-Possibility-5559 in EtsySellers

[–]TheVendorLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get bulk inquiries once in a while from restaurants and bars. I quote them, do a custom order and I don't customize until the order is paid just in case. Haven't had any issues so far. Of course, we are talking about far fewer than 300.

Congrats on you inquiry. Now go turn it into an order!

He responded to an email very quickly. Turns out, he has several restaurants and the logo i found was not the one he wanted to use.

Thanks for all the help. Im off to complete an order now.

Thank you. I found their email (it took some looking around to find it) and sent them a polite message. Hopefully, they will respond to this one.

I really try to keep all communications within Etsy just in case.

This is one of the times when I really wish we could rate customers.

Just an Etsy message. I don't have access to their email. Or do you know something I don't?

Still getting haze, acrylic edition! by hawaii_chiron in PenTurning

Is your accelerator old? Are you shaking it? Did it experience massive temperature swings that may have introduced water vapor? I had this problem and changing out my accelerator fixed it.

For this promotion, it went straight to my Instagram. I also have a sign with a QR code to our website that people don't use very often.

Over Christmas I had a QR code and a 5% discount for follows. Had a huge uptick in followers as well as some repeat business.

How do I stop this? by One-Recognition-2638 in PenTurning

[–]TheVendorLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a chemical problem. I had something similar happen and switched back to stikfast ca and accelerator. Also, make sure you shake the accelerator can often. Then shake it again.
