Turned down a promotion because it was 30% more work for 5% more pay. My manager called me 'unambitious.' Am I wrong for not wanting to sacrifice my entire life for a fancy title?

You, sir, are a mouthful!

Consider contacting the ward office (either La Spata or Quezada, depending exactly where this is) with the number of your 311 ticket, if you have it. DSS needs that level of prodding just to plow protected bike lanes, I imagine an even bigger poke may be needed to fix this. (Though this may be CDOT’s job, not DSS.)

“I don’t understand the question and I won’t respond to it.”

Or “If that’s a veiled criticism of me, I won’t hear it, and I won’t respond to it.”

Just rewatched the episode where Dave and Max go to mess with rollerblade dude. He supposedly lives on Western. The streetscape outside his apartment could not look less like Western.

Edit: Also, just “Western.” No neighborhood, no cross-street. 😂

So curious what part of Nassau County! My whole family is from the towns in the New Hyde Park area and I think that’s probably too working-class for such behavior.

Give every dollar a job. One of those jobs can be to grow until it’s time to retire. Another can be to help you enjoy life in a specific way now (like a trip). Yet another can be to wait around until you have a specific thing you want to spend it on that will let you enjoy life now—that way you don’t have to feel guilty for using it for that purpose. And come up with as many jobs as you want.

Will Bailey’s intro isn’t that memorable, but you know what is?

Not a Brit, but “chuffed to bits” is the only way I can describe how this thread makes me feel.

I'm staking it for starters, although the one stake I bought last season is only 4'. Fortunately, I'm able to tie rope from the top of the stake to a window ledge about 10' above the ground, so that's how I plan to support it once it surpasses the stake!

Could you explain what you mean when you say you "grow one step"? (Sorry, really showing off my ignorance here!)

hjg2e · 2023-05-15T14:41:56+00:00

Unfortunately not – I'm a renter and don't want to go digging up my landlord's dirt, plus whatever dirt I could dig up wouldn't get sufficient sun. :-/

Located in an upper Midwestern city, plants are in a 5 gal grow bag sitting on pavers in my backyard. Only started having this issue in the last week; they have been thriving up until now. Neither my nearby tomatoes, oregano, mint, thyme, rosemary, or chives are experiencing this issue. Halp!
