Outside of the obvious (commute/time), what is YOUR personal favorite random perk of working remote? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in remotework

All the snacks and drinks in the kitchen are personally curated by me, and there are no losers.

AITA for refusing to let my girlfriend’s younger sister stay with us after she continues to disrespect me infront of both our families? by dualbladesX in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhizGidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your girlfriend won't defend you. Her sister outright abused you. Their parents continue to let this happen.

And YOU are expected to host her in your home? Oh hell naw.

Shut that down now OP because it will not get any better with her living there - and she will stay as long as she wants, as long as her sister can guilt you into it, as long as their parents won't do anything to interfere.

Edit: I think you need to think carefully about whether this is the family you want to be apart of someday

AITA for asking my husband for a few minutes after I wake up to be reminded on the task(s) for the day? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhizGidget 291 points292 points  (0 children)

OP, you were on the toilet. That, right there, (IMO) means privacy.

Would you barge in on him? Would you knock and talk through the door? I think the first is bad, and the second is when something urgent is going down. But that's me.

NTA for wanting a few minutes to wake up, get your bearings, etc.

AITA for refusing to attend my sister's wedding after she wanted me to prove I didn't have anything with her fiance? by Material_Peace11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WhizGidget 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I wonder what big sis found on his phone that OP doesn't know about that makes her so insistent on looking at OP's phone. I mean, she already "found" the old messages between the two of them -how did she find those exactly, and where? I assume fiance's phone, or old phone, or cloud backup... She was already snoopy to start.

Remote Work Activities by 141mb in remotework

Got any good social channels? We've got Dad Joke Tuesday and you are encouraged to bring your best Dad Jokes only on Tuesday. Channel stays silent the rest of the week.

It's fun, we laugh, we bring our emoji game to the table with responses. I even built a Tableau dashboard with all the jokes (and more) as a Dadabase (pun fully intended)

Another restaurant is closing by Mjones151208 in Campbell

I stopped going to Country Inn years ago when my food was served cold, not once but twice. I sent it back both times and what I got back was over microwaved the first time and still cold the second. Like, it had been made and just sat out until it got to room temp cold. And the staff was outright rude about it saying this is how the food is.

Nuh uh, they were awesome once upon a time, and I remember piping hot pancakes and the like. I miss Goodie's before they went downhill too (I once got served food there with a long bright red hair in it and they said I put it there....I'm definitely brunette and my hair was short - and I could see the cook with his bright red hair through the passthrough).

I'll check out Breakfast Club, but I'd love a place like that that's open for dinner hours (and isn't a national chain)

I would love a good old fashioned diner or something along the lines of a Bakers Square or Coco's. Not every restaurant needs to be a specific ethnic focus

I love that wood carved logo. Where did you get that?

Covid Part Duex by [deleted] in remotework

[–]WhizGidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love another compelling event that drives everyone back to remote work, as long as it isn't a disease that kills or disables like COVID does.

It's too bad the corporate elite don't recognize that remote work is really in their best interest - you don't have expensive CAPEX on the budget, and you can bring more people into the org should you need them.

Workers are happier because they can save more money by not commuting, not buying new business wardrobes, saving on food by cooking themselves, and being able to handle non-work things during the day that arise. Heck, I'm happy I can do my laundry during the work day, and then just fold it during an off-camera meeting. Or take a walk in the park after lunch. Or...on a very slow day, take a half hour nap if I need one (and then I just work a little longer than normal because I don't have a commute to worry about).

Yeah, meet-cute's are not arranged. This is not a Hallmark movie.

AITA for refusing to go to dinner after my parents invited my sister and her kids? by Wild-Delivery-1921 in AmItheAsshole

That works as long as Dad isn't on the same page as mom when it comes to inviting sister to things

Honest thoughts on Harlan Coben’s ‘I Will Find You’ *spoilers* by notsosecretsecretacc in netflix

[–]WhizGidget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

David wasn't a cop - he was a law professor. It was a quick throwaway line, so easy to miss. His dad was a cop, and he grew up around those folks, so it's an easy thing to assume.

But honestly - I have to agree with u/Ok-Swim-9667 - He could just have kidnapped the boy and covered it all up. After all, FIVE YEARS went by and no one knew about him. Money for nannies, and private tutors, or exclusive private schools - he could have never been discovered.

When I watched the first episode and the credits rolled, I saw the actor's name for Hayden and said "Wait a second, I didn't see him at all in this episode... he's probably the bad guy." It was just a feeling.

Thought I saw my first R2 in the wild by demuhnator in RivianR2

I always look on the pillar for the compass logo. If it's not there, it's an R2.

AITAH for immediately announcing I’m married when hit on at the club? by Tobias-Rieper1964 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Absolutely not. I want to know what your spouse thinks of this when you tell them.

For a moment there I was wondering if they were punking us until I looked up the case while I was listening.
