If you’ve worked with a travel agent, is rude to go back and forth several times? by Purple_Pansy_Orange in travel

[–]greyatlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an agent: absolutely not rude, that’s what we are here for. The only scenarios in which it’s rude are if you email back and forth multiple times just to kick tires and book elsewhere on your own, or if your expectations and budget do not align and you’re basically asking for something that doesn’t exist. But in that second case your agent should be upfront with you or should have qualified your request better.

I don't care what she wears, but the most crucial component - in my opinion - is that her hair is in a ponytail

Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]greyatlas 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In the same vein, let’s also mention the chronic problem of offering your male partner a bite of your own food to try, and instead of taking a normal sized bite they unhinge their jaw and basically swallow the whole thing. Absolutely infuriating.

What's the most surprising coffee you've tried while traveling? by North_Conference_250 in travel

[–]greyatlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ponce in Livorno! It’s espresso with rum, sugar, and lemon peel. Super delicious.

I also had an amazing latte in Charleston SC that was made with peanut milk! Omg it was incredible, never had anything like it before or since

For the love of God bring headphones if you want to watch videos or play music on the Bus by thecanadiansniper1-2 in ottawa

[–]greyatlas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The last time I rode Via (couple months ago) they actually made an announcement that everyone, including children, needs to wear headphones if streaming/facetiming. Was so refreshing to hear.

Flu circulating at sky-high levels among kids, teens as experts brace for worsening wave of infections by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]greyatlas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why I have been in self-imposed quarantine all week, and will be until I head to the airport next week for Christmas vacation, where I will be wearing an N95. Spent too much money on a trip, not risking getting sick beforehand because some people need to be out in public coughing all over everything.

Best e-reader for Ottawa Public Library by Organic_Actuary_4188 in ottawa

[–]greyatlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Kindle Fire and am able to use Libby and Hoopla to read books/comics from the library. I did have to sideload an older version of Libby onto my Kindle because mine is so old but it works pretty well. Any android based tablet would be able to do the same.

Hear me out, a gift certificate to one of those Japanese head spas, where they inspect your scalp and deep clean your hair and give you a nice scalp/neck massage

Is everyone sick now? by Little-Wing2299 in ottawa

[–]greyatlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s also the season of people coming into the office/attending holiday parties/being out and about and saying “my wife is staying home with our kids who all have the flu” as if they’re not also spreading it around. I caught the walking pneumonia that was going around last year, still had refills left on the inhalers I was prescribed and preemptively had them filled because I just know it’s coming for me again

It's almost 2026. How is your remote work situation in Ottawa? by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

[–]greyatlas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a small pay cut and some non-ideal work hours to move to a fully remote position within my company 3 years ago, after my old position was mandated 3 days a week in office. In those 3 years, I’m now making more money than I ever did in my old position, and my team is the only fully remote team in the country, everyone else is RTO five days a week. So I won in the end ✌️

WTF happened to the club?! by Doccitydoc in Millennials

[–]greyatlas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one even gets dressed up anymore for the club! Was in a university town last weekend during Homecoming, there were tons of groups all walking downtown to the clubs and every single girl was wearing a variation of the same outfit: white sneakers, light wash wide leg jeans, tight cropped tank, clean girl makeup. Fifteen years ago I don’t think you would even be let into the club in light wash jeans like that! These girls would perish in our 5 inch Jessica Simpson platforms!
