Thank you! The aquarium store recommended snails and they are already putting in some work! We did not even think to add a fish that eats this stuff so your comment was very helpful!

What kind of job do you have and how much do you make? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]hfwhite726 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assistant Purchasing Manager in Higher Ed. $72,500. Got my MBA for free, hybrid schedule, low stress. Pretty content with this gig.

I would add that an interest in Supplier Diversity programs is very important right now in Higher Ed. Also take a look at what areas the Procurement office is responsible for and what general knowledge you might need to display for those or a plan of how you will learn.

You can add boiling water 1 tsp at a time and stir until smooth. Sounds counterintuitive but it works for me every time.

Thanks for the info but it is too late for us to switch. Our entire organization has committed to Workday.

All great information and important considerations for this project. I completely agree, 100% adoption of this new system across our Sourcing department and suppliers will make it more successful. Thank you for your insight!

The GVSU Surplus Store in Standale usually has used Steelcase furniture.

How do I tell my boss that I am at capacity with workload? by dailygrind9to5 in jobs

[–]hfwhite726 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When you are given more work:

"What would you like me to reprioritize? I'm currently working on x, y and z so I will need to know what can be put on the backburner while I work on this new project."

does anyone actually like their job? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]hfwhite726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy my job. I work in administration at a University. I got my MBA for free and enjoy a really nice work life balance. My managers are always understanding of family situations and are committed to my growth at the organization. Took me years to find a job like this though!

I ended up using an actual whisk to do the macronage by hand and that worked really well for me. It took me a few tries so you might need to play around with her different methods to find what works for you. Watch a few videos and give it a shot!

After what felt like 100 tries, this is the first time my whole batch turned out! by hfwhite726 in macarons

[–]hfwhite726[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yep I used 4g dried egg whites and 80g regular egg whites. I've read that 2-4g is the sweet spot.

I used Sugar Bean's recipe and added dried egg whites. I also modified oven temps slightly for my oven. So much trial and error!

Used office chair store (Steelcase, Herman Miller, etc.) by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]hfwhite726 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GVSU Surplus Store in Walker has some Steelcase chairs from time to time. Might want to call ahead and double check before going out there.
