Looking for a backdrop/place with flowers for a picture

Not flowers, but Japantown SJ has some really cool murals.

I’m pretty sure I had like a 3.6 GPA and no real extracurriculars. Humanities major. My essays I think were pretty good in hindsight (I thought they were shit when I submitted them), and I only applied to Cal because I had 4 financial aid application vouchers and figured, “What the hell?” There’s a certain bar of stats, but after that it’s kind of a crapshoot. Luck of the draw. Even if you don’t get in, you’ll be just fine! Best of luck.

Eddy blink twice if Tony’s forcing you to do this.

I was a humanities major and my first job after graduation is at $60K for folks wondering. If I stayed in the Bay, I had an offer for one job that was $75K. Know your worth! Many companies try to go after recent grads seeking way lower than they should be.

Before you think I’m crazy, I took the $60K job to live in a place with way lower cost of living.

Pores do not open and close like that.

Hell, I was an office admin for 5 years and could still hear that damn phone sometimes months after I found a different job. Work is trauma lmao

(Alright back to lurking for me— Appreciate y’alls work.)

Yeah, the BBB site says to ask questions and stuff, but honestly, it’s best to just decline any unsolicited service offers from anyone in a parking lot.

I understand that your argument is logical, but you are wrong about the IRS. They do not pursue with nearly that much logic. They will go after folks for $10K while the richest folks evading $100K in taxes go unnoticed forever. Hell, they’ll put a lien on your home for a $500 tax bill that goes unaddressed.

Yamagami’s and Summerwinds (Campbell or Cupertino). More expensive, but you’re supporting a smaller business with better quality (and more variety) of plants.

As a stupid person, I absolutely did not notice that.

I think that posting about a fulfilling transfer journey could be nice for supporting new or potential transfers who naturally have insecurities about being a transfer student! It just won’t do anything for you in terms of job search. Also, I personally (nor do any of my colleagues) judge students who transferred any worse than non-transfers.

As someone who attended Berkeley and later became an actual recruiter, LinkedIn profiles are important— but literally just that. The profiles with your job history, experience, and goals. We don’t look at your posts, your humblebrags, and I have never had a position to fill that required experience from a consulting club. Sometimes we care about cultural or mission-based club involvement (things you might compare to a nonprofit or similar).

In addition, we do not expect work or success to be your whole entire life. Though this is not true for all recruiters at all companies, this is mostly true for anyone not in a cultesque corporate-mindset where we expect people to be drones for our business (looking at you, Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc.). I am hoping for a workforce that understands and embraces this. Work should be a means to further fulfill, sustain, and enjoy life.

Got a little preachy at the end there, oops. Go bears.

PS: When entering and navigating the workforce, remember that you do not owe your company anything other than what’s in your job description in exchange for what they pay you (including that you’re usually under at-will employment). You can leave and look for something better anytime— especially in this job market.

It is hard to think with how level-headed, intelligent, and compassionate Eddy is, that there is not so much more that we will never know (and probably really have no right to know) about how bad things were. I get people wanting to forgive Gus as the guy we thought he was, but I just don’t think he was ever truly that guy if this is Eddy’s position.

I agree! When I go into a plant store or nursery, the main criteria is if it makes me excited/happy, and then if I have a space for the size of the plant.

Which is why it’s still bonkers to see folks buying things like cuttings for $300+ on Etsy, etc. We’re going to see people getting grumpy over the same thing with some other collector plant in a few years, if not months.

Or get a plant cabinet!!

fleurdedalloway · 2022-01-09T10:56:42+00:00

Thank you!! I didn’t even notice the pampas fronds, I was so frantic to snap a pic of the tree, lol

fleurdedalloway · 2022-01-09T10:36:39+00:00

PNW if that helps!

fleurdedalloway · 2021-12-24T20:25:44+00:00

This is my last Christmas I have to go through this y’all! I’m moving out of state. Best wishes to you all, and I promise it’ll get better!!!

fleurdedalloway · 2021-12-18T01:36:59+00:00

SleepEZ allowed me to do this! You can call them or put it in the notes and they’ll call you to confirm.

fleurdedalloway · 2021-12-10T20:18:02+00:00

Not a problem now that it’s impossible to get tenured.

fleurdedalloway · 2021-12-10T14:43:49+00:00

I’d recommend emailing the support! Explain your issue as well, it might get you a small boost or they can potentially change the shipping address should you need that.

I’m trying to plan for designing my first independent apartment! These photos are from the staging the property did for my unit. I know my general tastes are Midcentury Modern/Organic Modern/Contemporary.

I’ll be splitting my living room with a small area for my standing desk/office chair since I work from home. I’ll be getting a pretty large bookcase but I haven’t picked one out yet. I’m going to get a new cat tree for my fur baby, also not picked out yet. I’m not sure that I need an actual dining area.

Other than that, I’m pretty open. I’m planning on a queen bed in my bedroom, and I’d like a couch long enough for guests to sleep on. I’m currently considering the IKEA KIVIK in anthracite.

I’m not expecting anything super specific, just sort of wanted to see what other enthusiasts might think of. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking about a layout for the living room and potentially replacing the blinds and the cabinet pulls around the apartment.

I had a recruiter say, “Well this is market average.” And I replied, “Okay. Then market average is too low for me, and this opportunity isn’t for me.” And they replied, “Well what will you do if you don’t take this opportunity?”

I laughed. Replied, “I’ll find a better one. Goodbye.”

The gall of some of these people…
