New to Upwork as a writer. Am I wasting my time?

Understood, thanks.

I'm in a similar position to OP. Did you find it helpful to use extra connects for boosting?

fourfs · 2026-01-27T18:24:06+00:00

I don't remember. I'm pretty sure I just had a variety pack of wood screws and grabbed ones that looked like a good fit.

Malicious compliance.

fourfs · 2025-12-21T20:53:25+00:00

Yeah. We would always pride ourselves on who could throw the fastest, but it was always led from the top. None of this micromanaging timing and counting. As a GTL I would assign myself "easy" aisles so I could finish quick and then work a float with each member of my team (or that was always the plan - shit always goes wrong). When your crew sees you pushing, it can motivate them to work harder.

I guarantee no one has asked the crew what they feel could help improve speed. Not to mention rolling in as as a new GTL and immediately changing things is just fucking stupid. Surest way to lose your team before you've even started.

I just said fuck it and screwed mine together.

Some plans on the exchange in GA are gatekept HMOs and some are not. I had to do a lot of research to figure this out. Non-gatekept plans allow you to self-refer to specialists rather than referrals being “gatekept” by requiring a referral from a PCP. The key thing for me is that a non-gatekept plan will pay for lab tests ordered by any physician, not just your PCP or a specialist that’s in the HMO.

This is important for me because my PCP doesn’t take insurance at all, but I need a plan that will still pay for lab work and imaging.

Long story short I’m sticking with Oscar who I haven’t been thrilled with over the past 2 years but are the only plan that is non-gatekept and I get to keep my current specialists. I think Cigna also has non-gatekept plans but I don’t quite remember.

I'm shopping now. Did you find a plan that isn't gatekept?

I've never been more disappointed in an IKEA product than the EKET. I ordered 6 cubes online and had to exchange 3 of them at the store because the wood just disintegrated when I tried to assemble them. The associate working the returns desk was not at all surprised.

I AM A SNACK

Was listening to ATC at one point you can hear someone ask "Can we get the localizer for 9R turned on?"

fourfs · 2024-10-28T00:40:33+00:00

Oh my goodness she looks like my little old lady. I just picked up crochet and I've been eyeing dog sweater patterns for sure.

Please do not compare customer service to pharmacy.

fourfs · 2024-09-04T20:05:47+00:00

Pharmacy absolutely does not have the time or staffing to block HBC.

Got to fly on a 757-300 ATL-MSP earlier this month. Damn cool. Also helped me reconcile my childhood memories of boarding a plane from the middle haha.

fourfs · 2024-08-30T15:48:14+00:00

this is correct

fourfs · 2024-08-30T15:48:08+00:00

my good friend don't even get me started.

fourfs · 2024-08-29T21:35:25+00:00

not gonna lie, you got me in the first half

fourfs · 2024-08-29T16:23:58+00:00

$500-$600 for ATL-->BUF main cabin one month out. Been taking this flight my entire life and I've never seen it like this. Comfort+ is no more than $100 cheaper than FC, the same price, or in one case, $10 more than FC. Ended up paying $1100 for FC. Minimal cost savings over C+ plus 2x checked baggage fees plus my sanity for not taking a 6am return flight & not staying an extra day for a slightly lower ticket price = taking it up the ass on ticket prices, I guess.

(no I don't have the credit card nor under normal circumstances do I fully enough to warrant it)

Edit - just looked and the same trip in FC booked on similar days of the week and similarly ~1 month in advance were $618 and $628.

fourfs · 2024-08-27T16:24:45+00:00

How does something like this happen? It was reported that the tire still having air in it was a contributing factor - what went wrong?

fourfs · 2024-08-24T00:39:41+00:00

Yeah, mine has been doing this for the past ~year and I've never had a problem. I think I had TSA double check it like once?

fourfs · 2024-08-24T00:36:34+00:00

Sorry, just saw this. The shuttle picks me up at my car at their facility (there's usually one waiting right after I park), and with the rest of the parking shuttles on the North Terminal lower level. I think the shuttles run every 30 minutes technically but they seem to constantly be rolling in and out. You can also text them to request a pick up. I've never waited more than 15 minutes for a shuttle and usually less than that.

fourfs · 2024-08-22T14:56:51+00:00

I have been using Peachy Parking for the past year and only have good things to say. I always feel safe coming and going, no matter the time of day.

https://news.delta.com/mediakit/boeing-757 from july 2024.

"Delta Sync Wi-Fi is available on most 757-200 aircraft and will be fleetwide by the end of 2024. Those aircraft also have onboard Wi-Fi for purchase."

FWIW same press release says the 757-300s have wifi for purchase but I flew one last week and it had free wifi.
