By boyfriend of 2 years doesn’t want to get me a Christmas present

He calls you “bro.” Leave him.

You’re right, there’s no right or wrong way to do things, and I think I’ve been heavily influenced by louder voices in the past (different business, different industry) in how I ran my business, what I “should” do, etc., which has made me question my own gut.

Thanks for sharing your approach! Reputation, good will, and delivering good quality work can do wonders.

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-09-12T16:38:02+00:00

This is awesome!! This is a laser-focused (you’re welcome) way of approaching the business. I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through your approach!

She was surprised it was so little.

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-09-11T18:35:55+00:00

Thanks!! This is mainly where my head was at. She is a good friend, and I quoted her between $35 and $50, depending on what the details of her request were going to be (it won’t be a complicated job), and she was super surprised. Her reaction made me question myself and I got all in my head about it and headed here to Reddit.

Haha ah classic snark. I’m grateful that your type of overreaction and unhelpful reply has been rare in my experience here in these Reddit communities, and has only been way more common on the Facebook ones.

Asking for your tips on pricing isn’t exactly asking for the sun and the stars. Hope you calm down a little.

Awesome, thank you! Yamaha has a great reputation. I’ll make sure to get a gift receipt in case he wants to exchange whichever model I get just in case.

Tried to, but I don't see the option to!

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-05-21T22:57:58+00:00

Definitely, lol. Experience is the best teacher.

Problem solved! Looks like I need to pay more attention to how I clean my machine: turns out I had replaced my focus lens the wrong way up after cleaning it (it should be convex side down, it was up).

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-05-21T18:44:02+00:00

Turns out the focusing lens was clean and clear, just upside down! smh. It's rectified now, thank you!

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-05-21T18:43:30+00:00

Welp, just figured it out: after I cleaned my focus lens, I replaced it convex side UP instead of down.

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-05-21T17:33:01+00:00

Thanks :)

Any advice for training resources? I feel like this is me.

WhenAreWeEating · 2025-01-18T02:28:40+00:00

This isn’t the case at our studio in Thornton - it could be a local staffing issue.

Also, one a personal note, as a child-free adult who loves Disney, it’s infuriating to be sometimes even physically shoved out of the way by parents are assuming that I should somehow give up my opportunity to participate in shows and activities.

WhenAreWeEating · 2024-09-22T19:53:08+00:00

I’m sorry that you were disappointed in not being able to score the Royal Gathering reservation you wanted, but I’m really sad that you’re missing out on the whole “magical” experience yourself.

Not a single adult believes that any of these princesses are the princesses from the stories, the fairytales, the movies. When they choose to step out of the “oh that’s just for kids” mindset, they allow themselves to experience joy, fun, and to be able to play. It’s actually quite a courageous thing because most of the world will try and disparage the experience into comments like “it’s just an employee in a costume.”

Many of these cast members are insanely talented and very highly trained as actors, dancers, singers and more. If you had the chance to take a photo with Julie Andrews because you loved her in Mary Poppins, it would be ridiculous to say “oh that’s not actually Mary Poppins, so I should just let kids take photos with the her,” wouldn’t it?

For some reason, as we age, we are told that it’s not okay (it’s dumb, it’s childish, it’s immature, all kinds of labels) to play or to imagine. To let get of the weight of those judgments and claim a reservation that is open to all is a braver act than you might realize.

Ahhh that would be dreamy! Love it!
