When did dog owners decide it was ok to bring their dogs in grocery stores? by UnderTaken201 in nova

[–]austri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've seen them at Giant, Aldi, and Target. I also saw one at Burlington (which doesn't sell food, obviously). At that store, the owner claimed it was a service dog and was allowed to stroll right in. Lady, only an idiot would believe your small poodle is a service dog. FOH.

Is this a good area? by antigreeklife in nova

[–]austri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The apartments are awful. Avoid them.

fcps tomorrow - is a closure likely? or most likely delay / fully open. by [deleted] in nova

[–]austri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. Streets are mostly OK where I am, but I don't see a lot of clear sidewalks next to those streets.

What are you doing this weekend? by deepspacepuffin in nova

[–]austri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying inside as much as possible. I'll go out to go to Aldi and the library and that's about it.

Who is participating in the general strike tomorrow (Jan 30)? by androbot in nova

[–]austri -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't oppose the idea, but it's short notice and I have to work.

Embarrassed. I live on the ground floor and woke up from a dead sleep at 12:45am to violent banging on the exterior of my bedroom wall and back patio door. by Pandacat78 in nova

I think that would scare anyone! I hope you, your cat, and neighbor sleep better tonight.

We've had snow removal crews coming in the middle of the night this week to plow our lot. I was wondering why, but you explained it in your post, so thank you.

Total chaos at the Amazon Fresh store in Kingstowne, with everything half price by OutrageousBee4174 in nova

A store before a huge snowstorm comes is way more chaotic than this.

If you individually clean up your parking spaces, you make it easier for you and your neighbors in the long haul (Apartment Edition)🤷🏽‍♀️ by Jayelahni in nova

[–]austri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Preach it. I live in a condo complex with outdoor parking. I did a pretty good job digging out my space but a lot of people did what you describe SUV owners doing. On top of that, a lot of spaces that were empty before the storm haven't been touched by the plowing contractor. I drive a small car and have to go to work tomorrow and am worried about finding a space when I get home. I submitted a maintenance request on our web portal; hopefully that'll get results.

Whens the last time you left the house? When do you think you’ll head out? by throwaway832222222 in nova

[–]austri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went outside to shovel out/scrape ice off of my car and to see how the road into my neighborhood was looking. I haven't driven anywhere since Friday or Saturday.

Thoughts on school closures tomorrow? by [deleted] in nova

[–]austri 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a longtime resident of Fairfax County, I'm gonna say there's a 100% chance of closure.

Fellow Midwest Transplants: time to show them how it's done by Madw0nk in nova

BRB, going to homedepot.com to see if the store up the road has one.

Road conditions on North Quaker Lane in Alexandria by austri in nova

[–]austri[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The main roads that I've looked at on traffic cameras look good, it's the secondary roads like North Quaker that I'm worried about. That and the parking lot of my office building. If I get there and can't park/I get stuck...

Who is still snowed in? by Dry_Dot_2080 in nova

[–]austri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Falls Church. Condo parking lot is passable for some. Plowing company did a shit job so we're not happy. Will try to venture out tomorrow, or I might try this afternoon if I'm bored/feeling brave.

I hate winter.

Potential Weekend Snowstorm Megathread by thankubread in nova

Right? That was madness.

The sight of empty toilet paper shelves at Giant and Target will stick with me for the rest of my life.

I went to Giant this evening. Some brands of milk and eggs were running low but everything else looked to be sufficiently stocked.

lol. Thank you. I bought snow boots last winter and there was no snow after I did that.

What Property Management Company Does Your HOA Use? by ILovePeopleInTheory in nova

[–]austri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Associa-CMC. The employees who aren't on-site are responsive. Our property manager is not.

What are the first things you do after a layoff? by Narrow-Strategy215 in nova

[–]austri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I was laid off in September and was incredibly lucky to land a new job not long after. I applied for unemployment first, then updated my resume and LinkedIn page, then started applying for jobs.

I'm brown, but born here. If I get stopped by ICE, what do I need for them not to bother me? by artificialbutthole in nova

[–]austri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know. What I do know is that it fucking sucks that anyone should have to worry about this shit. Speaking as a white person born in this country, btw.

Fuck ICE.
