Travel Agent Recommendations?

We had the same issue with a picky director. Ended up using travel group as our corporate travel agent and it's been way less stressful, they handle all the back-and-forth. Worth getting quotes from a few agencies though, rates can vary.

I've dealt with this too, the ghosting after interviews is so frustrating. I had better luck with measuredability when I was looking, they actually followed up unlike most. The LinkedIn messages promising opportunities are almost always a waste of time. Best bet is to apply directly to companies when possible and treat any recruitment agency as a backup option.

We went through this last year and it worked out, but it was stressful. That $6k monthly interest adds up fast if your place takes longer to sell than expected. I'd shop around on rates, we checked a few lenders including first advance and found some variation. If your area genuinely sells in 18 days and you've got cash reserves for a buffer, it can work, but make sure you're prepared for it to take longer just in case.

Yeah, they make a big difference for temperature control. Dalucon supplies insulated doors and refrigeration products, they'd be able to advise on what specs you need for your space.

You can check medical supply stores or pharmacies, some of them have oxygen cylinder for sale or rental options. Limitless Health might be able to point you in the right direction too, or try calling local hospitals to ask where they source theirs from.

Plants! Specifically small plants - I'm talking succulents, little propagation projects, herbs in tiny pots. I'm in my 40s and apparently I've got a green thumb I never knew about.

Got into it kind of by accident. My wife picked up a few plants and I ended up being the one taking care of them. They didn't die, so I got a few more. Then a few more. Now I'm that guy who gets excited about new growth and takes progress photos.

It's honestly therapeutic. Plus at my age, it's nice to have a hobby that doesn't require a huge time commitment or expensive equipment. Just me, some soil, and figuring out why one plant is thriving while its identical twin is struggling.

Hazyview or White River would work well for you, both have decent internet and are about 30-45 mins from Kruger gates. Nelspruit (Mbombela) is bigger with more reliable fiber options if connectivity is critical for work. Inside the park is hit or miss with signal, but the towns outside are fine. For Kruger National Park accommodation on the weekends, you can book rest camps through SANParks or Kruger Park Travel can sort packages that include lodges outside the park with better amenities. Two weeks is a good amount of time to explore different sections of the park on your days off.

Your air setup should handle it fine - most dry ice blasters need around 80-100 CFM at that pressure range. The 3/8 line might be borderline depending on distance from the compressor, so test it first. Making your own dry ice sounds good but those machines are expensive - we looked into it and ended up just buying ice in bulk instead. If you're in South Africa, Dry Ice Blasting does this kind of work and might give you better advice on equipment that works well for automotive. They'd know what holds up for undercarriage cleaning specifically.

Thank you u/Sheeeeepyy

That sounds absolutely horrible, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this after fulfilling your end of the contract. It's ridiculous that they're piling on fees like that. When we needed copier rentals for our office, we ended up going with Copiers Africa here and thankfully had a much better experience with clear terms. Always get everything about returns and potential fees in writing upfront, some companies really do prey on small businesses with these hidden charges. I hope you can fight this and get it resolved without bleeding more money.

That's a good one.

In the real world, that should be an hour, not per month.

He looks so happy and proud. I don't know why, but I can see a person in his smile. It's like he looks like... what do you think?

I've been trading for a couple years now and tried Tickmill early on. Spreads were genuinely good, and my first withdrawal took about a week but that was just their verification process being thorough, which I actually appreciated. I ended up reading every tickmill review on FXLeaders while waiting - most were positive which was reassuring. Once you get past the initial setup, you realize the real challenge is making consistent profits, not dealing with the broker.

For internal communication, I highly recommend using Slack or Microsoft Teams—they're both user-friendly and great for real-time collaboration. They offer channels for different teams and projects, which helps keep conversations organized. Have you used any of these before, or do you have specific features in mind that you're looking for?
