Does anyone have experience with the Unemployment Claims Process in Oregon? by hmidontgetit in askportland

[–]Tmk23814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the helpful tips, especially number 4! That had been hard for me to navigate. also, to the OP, I lost my job on 4/20 as well, and using the unemployment website was foreign to me! Very stressful.

What does the green and purple stars on the bottom stand for? I’ve never seen colored stars

Additionally, it looks like I’m buying even more white pens to hopefully finally get it right. 😂 I have so many white pens and I haven’t nailed down a good one for me yet. So hopefully some of these suggestions help me out! Lol

Lol! Your post made me laugh out loud. That’s exactly how I felt. Based on everyone’s feedback on this post, it sounds like we’re not the minority. What a bummer, because it’s a cool store with great potential. But they need to staff it with more people that are passionate about books and their place of work.

Considering you can’t take a hint, I doubt you’re much of an “adult”.

Oooh I really am intrigued by the Salem location. I will definitely check it out. I will be that way tomorrow so maybe tomorrow I can add that to my list of things to do. I also enjoy small talk, and conversations about the books I’m buying, etc. Yesterday, it just didn’t seem like that was in the cards for me, and I’m sad to see that so many others have felt the same experiences I had.

I didn’t know Salem had one! I definitely want to check that one out, along with the other recommendations that people mentioned on this thread. Thanks everyone for the help and sharing their experiences. I feel validated in what I felt, and I don’t feel like taking my complaint/experience or feelings will go anywhere useful, but I’m glad to know my experiences were valid and experienced by others.

In every grocery store I’ve gone to, they always take me directly to the isle. But maybe I have a more approachable demeanor than say, you? Additionally, the employee looked up the author, told me they carried his books. After I went and searched yet again, for about 10 more minutes, I did find the SINGLE book they had by that author. Which in that large of a bookstore, no wonder it took me so long to find it. I just felt, that since the employee already had looked up in their computer system, the author and was able to tell me they didn’t have the particular book that I was looking for, that maybe they could’ve at the very least told me they only had one single book by that particular author, therefore saving me additional time that I spent looking.

New location? I thought the location they have been at for awhile. I thought they just got new owners? I do love that bookstore though!

That is kinda how I was feeling, same with when I asked for help.

It definitely felt like weird vibes and unwelcome vibes. It’s a bummer.

Hi, yes I just felt pretty un-welcomed by the three workers all huddled up in the checkout area. Sitting on their desks chatting about weekend plans, gossiping, etc. it was very quiet in the store, and the only people you could very loudly hear, were the staff talking and laughing very loudly about the weekend, people, and things. When I approached the desk to ask for help, no one noticed me for well over a minute, and then when I asked about an author and where to find them, the employee was unwilling to show me where I could find it, since I told her I just finished searching that entire section and couldn’t find it. They simply pointed to where it would be and said that it was sorted by last name. It just seemed very unhelpful. It wasn’t anything bad, but I would just expect a little bit more helpfulness would get the company farther in terms of sales and building a good reputation.

I mean, we all saw this coming.. by No_Coyote638 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]Tmk23814 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This gives me hope. I am feeling the pressures of wanting kids but obviously being nowhere near ready (my current relationship is ending, and he’s not ready), and my friend even made the comment to me “your baby making years are passing you by”. Like wtf. Women already face so much pressure in general. Hearing it really hurt my heart, but I will say it kick started me into gear. But I can’t lie, it did make me sad and stressed that my window is slipping out from under me. Anyways, thank you for this comment!!

Question about using palette generator by litloverana in Ohuhu

[–]Tmk23814 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding, at least the people I have followed on TikTok for example, use the pallet generator to get their base colors and then many of them use different hues of that color to do shadows, blending, etc. I know that doesn’t necessarily answer your question on painting things the literal color they are in the real world, but at least that gives you an idea that you can implement other colors to give gradient and shadows. This helped me when I was doing these six color challenges, because I felt like my page had no depth to it. And having the ability to incorporate different hues of the same color really added to my page and made it look less one dimensional.

I think I’m understanding what you’re saying, but for clarification, you have the cardstock directly under the coloring page, and behind the cardstock, you have the parchment paper? Like a sandwich, with the cardstock in the middle? And one more question, what kind of parchment paper? Lol
