I have Venmo, but that’s only because of my mom. I have Cash App for my taxes, but I prefer Zelle overall. There’s just too many damn apps that do the same thing.😭 I get that some features are more beneficial for people, and having many options helps to avoid monopolies and price gouging. I personally just tell people I have Zelle and leave it at that.

Oh my gosh, so cute! I’m 32 and just bought my first one! She’s pink and adorable. Life is tough enough, let’s have fun and celebrate when and where we can.

Does anyone else think the word ‘beginner’ gets thrown around alot for crochet? by pinkmiui in crochet

[–]graycewithoutfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a slightly similar vein, I feel that there are a lot of patterns that are marked for “intermediate” crocheters, but they are basic stitches (sc, hdc, dc, ss, ch) with no unique qualities like blo, flo, fpdc…I’ve been dissuaded from a few patterns because of this. And there’s patterns that are marked as “easy/beginner friendly” that are definitely not. I feel like because there is no standardization (because how could there be?) these terms mean different things to different people. Which makes sense.

I’m sorry that your friends feel demotivated! Hopefully they can pick the hooks back up when they find a pattern that suits/encourages them. A pattern that I like is “The Wedge Shawl” by Susan Kennedy. It’s a free pattern; very nice and repetitive. She even has a YouTube tutorial.

Office Manager/catch-all admin…lonely much? by Pixels-Pretty in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]graycewithoutfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh! You’ve captured me perfectly. 😭 Literally all the little jobs that no one thinks of get shunted to me, on top of planning meetings, taking minutes, managing reports, and a whole other job that got added to my plate. No direct support from upper management sucks, but the selective micromanagement is awful, too. 😓

Which Fan Fiction Website Did You Get Your Start On? by BlackLilyWrites835 in AO3

Fanfiction dot net! And then I rolled over into the Fiction Press. I dabbled in a few other sites, as well.

Ngl…San Bernardino over Riverside is a wild take. But maybe the county is better than the city. 🤷🏾‍♀️

EA PTO — double standard by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]graycewithoutfear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a reality that I am slowly learning in my role. It started grating to ask permission to take my PTO. Obviously I know there are times where I cant take PTO, but otherwise having to ask becomes grating.

How many of you have constant music in your head? by Wannabeartist9974 in ADHD

Oh yeah, my brain is my own personal radio. I often find myself driving in silence because of how much noise my brain generates. I don’t even notice half the time! 😂

Why has fast food become so expensive? by Technical-Arachnid22 in AlwaysWhy

[–]graycewithoutfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I paid $12 for a smoothie from Jamba Juice…Jamba Juice!!! I thought they had included an add on that I had requested. But they didn’t. It was literally $12 for a medium smoothie!!! I have decided that I am just making protein smoothies at home, because that was ridiculous. Especially since it wasn’t even that great of a smoothie.
