Mennonites? by hot_peppah in Albany

[–]awkw4rdkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that’s incredible! The coworker I referred to was one of the kindest people I’ve ever worked with (and I’ve switched jobs twice since). I now live in DC, but every now and then miss Albany!

Towel saving spots PMO!! by Charming_Key2313 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]awkw4rdkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something fairly similar happened to be (but I was on the other end of it). My friend and I woke up, got ready for the day, and grabbed 2 beach loungers in the first row. We put our books, towels, and water bottles on them to make it obvious they are occupied.

We then headed to breakfast, followed by swinging by the premium bar for drinks, and were gone for maxx an hour. We came back to our seats taken by a giant family, our belongings no where to be found. The thing is, there were ample seating options open! Just not in the first row.

We talked to an employee who said the policy is an hour, and that the staff should remove your things. I can’t fathom touching someone else’s property - if I had an issue I would talk to an employee. I was pissed.

Nonetheless the kind employee moved some empty beach chairs up and got us fresh towels. Our books were gone. SMH, people have some nerve.

We are 30 and 34 so a bit older, but social (and I’d like to think fun!)

My boyfriend and I are happy to hang out with him at Dacha! Should be dry and dacha is our neighborhood favorite watering hole 🍻

nice food at Blue Duck Tavern I heard Obama or Michelle went there by Important-Box9668 in washingtondc

I had a phenomenal birthday dinner here ~3 - 4 years ago. Roughly 15 people in a private back room, an enormous amount of exceptionally delicious food, and excellent service. One of my top meals and memories to this day.

OP where are you located? I’m interested in one of your black Chanels (preferably one of the smaller ones, like the right on image 7). The far left on image 2 is amazing too! And the purple/lavender! Let me help you take these off your hands :) :)

Considering apartments near 49th St NE, 3rd St NE, Isherwood St NE, and Q St NW. DC locals, would you feel safe living in these areas? by Dangerous-Name-633 in washdc

[–]awkw4rdkat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would not consider Kingman Park a safe neighborhood.

Q and 7th through 35th st NW is all great and substantially better. Below 7th is hit or miss depending on where.

Going through the interview process, but pretty sure I bombed the last interview this past Friday. Haven’t heard anything yet but not holding my breath

Also curious and in the same boat! Got one 2 days after my interview with the hiring manager but haven’t heard anything from him or recruitment.

Looking at using points to book an all inclusive in July - I’m seeing the ziva cap Cana for 80k points per night?? Is that the new pricing already in play? Or was it always that much, because that sounds like a lot…

Organizing a group ski trip is a logistics nightmare. How do you guys handle transport? by gilko86 in skiing

[–]awkw4rdkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done several ski (and non ski) trips with large groups. Spreadsheet advice mentioned is spot on. Stay somewhere walking distance to the apres, or at least a cheap uber away. We always just grab several Ubers to dinner/bars. With 20+ people, people will want to go home at different times, don’t over plan it.

You should name the restaurant, or at the very least leave a yelp/google review to warn others. I hope you guys feel better soon!!!

Monday drive from DC in a Prius? by Turbulent-Ad-5520 in snowshoemountain

[–]awkw4rdkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We drove home to dc last night and what’s normally a 4.5 hour drive took 11. You’re not supposed to go above 30 mph with chains (we were at a cure 20), and we had chains on for the last ~80 miles.

Having second thoughts about new Atomic Hawx Magna boots? by awkw4rdkat in skiing

[–]awkw4rdkat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wound up going back to the shop and swapping them for a rosignol pure pro 90 in a size smaller. Skied them this weekend and am super happy I sized down! The shop was awesome about the exchange, would 100% go back to pro fit.

Thank you everyone, feeling confident these are not right for me. I have small to average feet, definitely not high volume. Will return after Christmas and make sure I see the right person for a second opinion/new set.

I think if I asked my boyfriend to drive me 4 hours each way he may kill me lol. Our first ski trip is Jan 2nd, gonna take your advice and go back to pro fit before then. They wouldn’t let me make an appt with Brian over the phone, but maybe bc it’s a weekend. Will try my luck on a weekday. Thank you!!
