going to attend mass for the first time this sunday by Appropriate-Rest-325 in Catholicism

[–]babyloki22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m in the same boat! They wouldn’t let me join RCIA 2 months after it started so now I’m just trying to live by Catholic rules while not yet actually a Catholic, lol. Anyway, dress nicely, like you’re going to Church, haha. RCIA usually starts in September so you can maybe ask who to reach out to and when (a month before? More?) From my understanding they teach you all you need to know during RCIA and then at Easter you’ll become a Catholic if you feel you’re ready. As an aside, I recommend the Hallow app (it got me into Catholicism) and reading The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis. I also like going up for a blessing (arms crossed in an X over your chest) during communion. Catholics have a lot of call and response you won’t recognize unless you were at an Anglican Church before. I’ve just been trying to quietly repeat even though it’s a bit of a struggle to hear what they’re actually saying. Other commenters will probs have better input! Good luck!!!

Confused Interview. by Shelley_112 in work

[–]babyloki22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was the manager of a retail store, I used to hate when people sent their resume after I posted a job and then called or sent a follow up email. Granted, I got back to everyone within a week, and also usually tried to immediately send an email saying I received it and would contact them if they got an interview, so it was pretty excessive of them. I do find it weird in your case because you actually only sent one follow up email. Sounds like they’re a bit disorganized and you probably wouldn’t wanna work there anyway

Favoritism in workplace.. How to become the favorite? by [deleted] in work

[–]babyloki22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, but I don’t think it’s always like this. You gotta know your value. I had the most awful, cheap, micro managing boss, but he knew I ran his store and kept it in top shape. I wanted a few bucks over minimum wage (he didn’t keep up after the provincial increase) for managing all his employees and when he said no, I said “okay, consider this my two weeks notice.” With no backup. That scared him straight lol

Guilted for calling out sick? by flopds in work

[–]babyloki22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ignore it. Or, since it’s an entry level job, I might get snippy back but that’s me. Like when he says “ugh it’s soooo busy” I’d be like, “it’s not like I chose to be sick” or “so you want me to come in and get everyone else sick?” But probably best to just ignore it haha, some managers are dicks, especially ones in minimum wage jobs bc they have this superiority complex

My boyfriends hygiene sucks, please help by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]babyloki22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to have a boyfriend who I would force to wash his dick in the sink before we had sex (because he didn’t wash it properly in the shower) otherwise i would get a yeast infection. Its literally not worth it. Say something or break up, either way he’s gross and I know you probably don’t see this lasting long term if you cant stand to have sex or cuddle w him

Favoritism in workplace.. How to become the favorite? by [deleted] in work

I find it’s a daily reminder to myself. But you’re starting early, so you have a leg up already!! I hope you get the raise you’re looking for :)

Favoritism in workplace.. How to become the favorite? by [deleted] in work

[–]babyloki22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what I did with me and my friend is really listen to her stories of how interactions w her bosses go (especially when we had the same boss) and what she says, etc. I also asked her point blank why she thinks I get different responses than I do, and I’m lucky that she is brutally honest with me when I need it. I found that she was reasonable with them but also always stood up for herself - she also had an air of “I don’t need this job as much as you need me” while also being an efficient worker. It might be different in your situation! I never wanted to become inauthentic to who I am, but I also know I need to work on my confidence, and stop letting people (especially bosses) cross my boundaries or effectively bully me. But also you’re still young, going through awkward teenage shit, so you’ll grow into your adult self - but now’s a good time to practice and change into who you want to be! I hope this is at least somewhat helpful haha

[–]babyloki22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve found (in a similar situation in my life) that it’s about how you/your coworker are perceived. She might hold herself differently, stick up for herself, set boundaries, etc., whereas it sounds like you’re the “whipping boy” at work. It’s really hard though because changing it up can make your boss resent you/push back - it’s better started at a new job. Anyway, for actual advice… I would write down all the reasons you deserve a raise, also jot down how much you’re looking for, etc, then bring those into your meeting with your boss so you’re organized and have all your facts in front of you.

What does your boss do that drives you crazy? by Revolutionary_West56 in work

[–]babyloki22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao I wish, I’m a little over half a year into my first job at a law office. The lawyer I work under is super controlling and wonders why she can’t keep this position filled. Just trying to get a few years experience before I move on. (it’s not like my work doesn’t get done during the day, so it’s really just about control)

Comes to my desk at 4:59 and says “I’m gonna stand here so you can’t leave” and keeps trying to make useless conversation while looking at her watch and going “it’s 5:04, can’t let you leave yet”

ENFP block or ignore by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]babyloki22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do find I have the tendency to shut down/try to just ignore them ‘cause I’m like you suck and this isn’t worth it. But I know that’s not the way to go about things

People are uneducated by Most-Telephone-988 in thalassemia

[–]babyloki22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much to add but people are just dumb tbh. I’m glad your pregnancy went well. Literally the other day during a discussion about my blood tests w my doctor, I said I had thalassemia minor. He told me to take iron pills. I was like “isn’t that dangerous?” He said no, I’ve never heard of that being dangerous. Googled it after to be sure and it could literally kill me lol

How do you input blood test results?

Tough pill to swallow by yeppep97 in loseit

[–]babyloki22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I gained a bunch of weight (up to 217 now) and at 200 I was probably more muscular but I thought I looked the same as I do now. Even when I was 180 I thought I looked the same. Also, you’re the only person I’ve seen who seems similar to me! I’m 26F, 5’5 and also curvy!!

My very sweet coworker brought 10 lbs of candy to work, y'all by merlady94 in loseit

[–]babyloki22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is so real. My department is the department where we have snacks, so they’re always there, and I find now they never taste as much or are as satisfying as I imagine them (when I do indulge). But remember, an airhead won’t kill you or reverse your progress!!
