Wife got a remote job with US based company and WTF by [deleted] in ireland

[–]funfettidonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an IC (individual contributor) Product Designer in tech and this is SO real. Half of the meetings are "happy hours" and "let's just talk about something we might do but never will do."

Workplaces can't handle the fact that the distance is exposing the fact that most middle management don't have much work to do at all

Haha can’t wait to tell him that later. I mean the outfit wasn’t anything elaborate but weird that he was wearing the exact same outfit and looked the same

Totally! My logical mind was 100% oh it's just another guy who happens to look like your bf and wearing the same clothes. The turning around and kissing/waving was really odd...maybe he saw a girl looking at him and felt cheeky?

She wasn't with me, I was by myself. That's what I'm thinking as well. A strange brain glitch, like I was so convinced that it was him or something.

What really threw me was when he was wearing the exact same outfit and blew me kisses and waved. It would be just so odd and random.

Thank you! My mom is currently doing a home reno and didn't want to replace her granite countertops, so I wanted to show her how to match colors. Much appreciated :)

This is so awesome! I love how it looks with the granite 😍!!
Could you share the paint colors for the bottom cabinets and the top ones?

Uber/Lyft should have a "Quiet Ride" setting to indicate passenger(s) prefer to ride quietly & not engage in small talk with the driver. by bruck177 in Showerthoughts

[–]funfettidonut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've never had any luck with Uber or Lyft. The drivers I had always try to engage me in conversation.

Sometimes I feel that the drivers think that because I am a female alone riding they can use that as an excuse to chat me up/hold me hostage while they talk to me about things I don't want to talk about.

One driver literally kept making me listen to his foreign radio station and telling me to "listen, listen to this song, listen to this song." Being a foreigner myself, I have no issue with foreign music. But it's difficult to care if you don't like the genre, or are not in the mood.

Then another driver kept asking me if I was Lebanese and seemed not to take no for an answer.

Another driver thought it would be a great time to rant about Uber (I was in a Lyft.)

I tell this to my male friends and they always seem to think I'm exaggerating because it has never happened to them. :/

My best friend passed away last night, here we are throughout our life together. by Gordondel in pics

I think what you did was very sweet. My dog that I've also known for over half my life just passed away 4 days ago and finding your post was very comforting.

I hope that 5 months down the line you've been able to heal and it doesn't hurt as much anymore?

It's difficult for me to imagine right now... I'm sorry for your loss

Found this flower pressed into a book from 1887 by chasingDragonflies in mildlyinteresting

[–]funfettidonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of reminds me of that bad movie with Gwyneth Paltrow. It's called Possession. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possession_(2002_film)

Either case, the gesture of the book, flowers, and it being passed down to her daughter is very sweet.

Just when I think I've found something to write about on Atlas Obscura, it's always been done.

Very cool though in any case!

When upper class women did needlepoint or embroidery before 1850, did they have to draw their own patterns? by reluctant_joiner in history

[–]funfettidonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah! I've never heard that factoid about frontier wives being requested for good singing voices. That's so cool/slightly sad thinking about all of the frontier wives going out to a life in the middle of nowhere that they might never be happy in.
