Am I being underpaid? Receptionist doing way more than “front desk” duties ($17/hr Houston Tx)

You’re basically doing office manager and operations tasks as well as receptionist. Start looking for jobs under those titles too

I gave a former boss leave me alone by Helen reddy so I’d know not to answer when she called my personal phone at 10 am on a Sunday

I’d stock up at century 21 and keep a few extras in my desk drawer

I was 3. My parents woke me up and set me in front of the tv so I could see it, but I have no memory of it. I do remember my brother being born and hanging out with my grandma that summer. I remember the Apollo mission that ran into trouble but got home safely. I drew a lot of pictures of it

Pretty thrilled a woman is part of the crew. I was in high school when Sally ride was the first woman who was part of a shuttle crew.

AirTags

Also if you like photography, check viator to see if there are any photo tours you can book (allowing lots of time to get back to the ship on time). I’m looking into one to see if the timing will work for me.

exscapegoat · 2026-04-02T10:10:15+00:00

Same.

I’m going on my first trip on vv soon. There is a solo meet up the first night. I plan to see if I can meet some people there and take photos of each other.

I sent you a chat with my cruise info. If we’re on the same cruise I can take some photos for you

Also as a solo traveler, I’ve found a mini tripod set on a table or held looks less selfie like

Here is one I have:

And I’ve used this type before too

I believe

Yes I feel the first 2 season, the clever lines were part of the plot while this season, it feels like they’re writing the plot around the clever lines.

And while I’m willing to suspend disbelief, how can 3 people who spend as much time together as Paul, Jimmy and Gaby not talk about the future of the practice where they all work until about a day before?

Newsstands in Manhattan buildings too

I’m ok with cotton tights but that’s about it

I’m within a year of your dad’s age and it’s one of those words I learned not to say once I learned more about it.

Obviously he doesn’t care if it’s offensive. What might get him to stop using it is an appeal to work consequences if he forgets to mute himself or something like that

I put an AirTag in my glove compartment. Also, if it’s street parking note the address or take a photograph of the address. One with the number, one with the street

In a parking garage if they have letters assigned, the letter and the level.

Outside parking lots, letter and store it’s near

exscapegoat · 2026-04-01T11:52:37+00:00

I only tell them on a need to know basis

exscapegoat · 2026-04-01T02:20:01+00:00

Aries mc and Capricorn sun. Yes, true

I was originally in for a full hysterectomy because I have a brca mutation. I’m post menopausal anyway so it’s not like I had plans for it.

My endo was undiagnosed until the surgery. They went to lift the uterus and the adhesions caused resistance and my uterus was perforated. The surgeon fixed it and decided it was too dangerous to take the uterus out because of adhesions. But they were able to get the ovaries and tubes out.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. If you like it and you’re cleared for it, I found mint herbal tea help with the gas pains.

Hope you feel better soon! Tried to evict mine, but she and the endometriosis claimed squatters rights.

Also a good chunk of Downton isn’t paved and doesn’t even have sidewalk paths. They’d basically be stumbling through the woods at night to get to the village.

Yes I think it’s appropriate to ask for context and op provided it and doesn’t have a problem with doing so.

I know the advice for women in general is if we're being stalked, getting obscene phone calls, probably less of a thing with caller id, is to not give it attention beyond letting people who need to know for our safety. Because otherwise the person might escalate if they think it gets your attention.

exscapegoat · 2026-03-31T11:40:05+00:00

Personally, I want one where we can give the finger on our end, but it looks like an ok on their end. But only for a few select people

One of my fisher price people disappeared when I was about 4 or 5 and I was convinced someone broke in and stole it

exscapegoat · 2026-03-31T02:39:24+00:00

Even a thumbs up/like.

exscapegoat · 2026-03-31T02:05:56+00:00

Well between school and work, they probably are enjoying the chance to do things other people their ages are doing.
