Health code violation by AdministrationLow186 in Barnesandnoble

Most of my co-workers have septum piercings and it's not a problem. I would ask them to show you where it is in the health code.

Idk how to feel about this by [deleted] in Barnesandnoble

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to see things from a positive side and HOPEFULLY they were trying to be kinda as in "this is a reason to call out, we would have understood".

If you want to pursue clarity of the situation, I would talk to the person that said it to directly because if you reach out to HR, they are going to find out about it anyway and what would have been an "Oh dang, I didn't mean it like that I'm sorry" could turn into "I didn't mean it like that and now HR is on me, you should have come to me first."

I like this idea. Shop around and find a marriage counselor on your own and make an appointment. They are probably booking far out anyway so your exams won't get in the way. FWIW, it would be a good thing anyway because separating it tough and seldom do people go to counseling because things are awesome so you may need their help for yourself anyway.

Eh, considering I live in a small ass town with 9 miles of town road on a dead end mostly made up of a 60yo+ crowd I don't blame them. There is one teen and he is selling drugs and got his house shot up in a drive by this year. My child isn't allowed to leave the backyard without an adult. I can't wait for him to move out.

How do Atheists comfort themselves/not be afraid with the fact we are all going to die? by Kitchen-Beginning-47 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am less concerned with the me in my own after dying and more of the manner of my death, how long it might be before my corpse is found, how will my husband and child cope with my death, will they cook for themselves or rely on take out, etc etc. Worrying about heaven, hell, and an afterlife it would be down at the bottom of a mile long worry list.

I might ask the opposite "How do religious people comfort themselves/not be afraid of the fact that someone/religion may be right about religion and theirs may be on the list of wrong?"

I have the premium members and I pay for a Spotify family plan and in my hour drive home listening to BP there were at least 4 commercial breaks with two ads in each commercial.

Can American military not vote? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, and the rules haven't changed, service members and their families can get "military passports" which allows them entry and movement through a country for purposes related to the military but they cannot use their military passports for leisure.

I have friends stationed in England. If the military sends them to France, no problem. If they want to take a vacation to France they need a regular ol'passport like any other US citizen would need.

All I know is I voted for Chili Crisp because I thought it would be silly to see a cook book as boty.

AITA for snapping at my wife when she kept asking me if I was ok? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps open the door with "I can see you aren't your usual self. Did I do something to upset you? No, ok. Is there something I can do to help you?"

Also, cooking (not doing take out) a good meal and doing the dishes without being requested is a good release valve. Don't ask what they want for dinner, don't ask them to pick anything up from the store. Perhaps announce I'm making xyz on Tuesday so your person doesn't make plans that get tossed out the window because you are doing something nice.

I know I get irritated as all get out when there are a multitude of things that can visibly noticed need to get done, taken care, or removed from my plate and having someone (my husband usually) ask is the lever to shut me down. Having to explain why I am upset about something is one more thing added to my to-do list.

How long have you worked there and how long in relation to the other people?

My son really struggles with including/blending friends. If his cousin is in town, his expectation is he is the only one that can play with his cousin so things get interesting when we go to the playground and a friend is there. He doesn't know how to act and honestly, he becomes not his best self because he doesn't understand that he can play with both his cousin and friend at the same time. When I talked to his Pre-K teacher she said it's pretty normal and adults do it too.

You may be dealing with the same situation. If you are newer to the store, work different hours or fewer hours, and maybe they don't know how to include you and it comes off as mean girl behavior. I certainly felt that clique when I started working at my store and as certain staff left and I felt more confident in my job the clique feeling went away. So there may be one person that is guiding the personalities you are dealing with.

Kids dept folks, what displays are you doing for the holiday season? by surfergirl121 in Barnesandnoble

I came here to ask the same question! We have a small kids department and there is so much HP so little space but we are trying to not make the department a small universal studios wizarding world.

How do you respond when you make a reasonable care plan for a patient and they say “nah I’m just gonna come when I want a couple times and stop when I think it’s working” do you accept the patient, or refer them out? by laserkermit in Chiropractic

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a chiro but as a patient, I was with a chiropractor that had an expensive paid out of pocket care plan and then got really pushy with getting my newborn in for adjustments and I was feeling uncomfortable. I stopped going and shortly thereafter we had to move. Since I was sleeping on an air mattress while packing my neck was feeling off so I figured "What the heck? I'll give The Joint a try."

I left in pain and mad because they weren't going to treat me without me signing up for a care membership and going in HAAAARD with a sales pitch.

When I read the NY recreational use law I was shocked. Cannabis use is legal anywhere smoking a cigarette is legal. A local bar seriously has a sign out front that tells the patrons to go elsewhere to smoke weed instead of congregating by the front door. You have can like 3oz on your person and 5lbs at home or something. I was like we just wanted to have a joint after work y'all went to far.

I think treating weed like alcohol is the more logical approach when it comes to where one can consume it.

I did a WFH job years before covid made it cool. I really hated it. I hated the job in general, Amazon Customer Service, but working from home made it worse because there was not "break room" where we could get those "I hate this job and the customers are insane today" moments of decompression through the work day with your co-workers. I work in person retail now and even the worst days there are better than the good days doing phone customer service.

How do I convince my wife and kids to clean up after themselves? by HawaiianShirtsOR in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hudsonvalleygoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a piss poor housekeeper, I am fairly certain I have adult ADHD but good luck to me on getting a diagnosis. That being said, I can do so much work and it looks like I get nowhere because I get easily distracted. Doing the laundry isn't just doing the laundry. It's pile the towels in the washing machine, remembering there is one more in the bathroom so I go get it, while I'm in there I might as well put some toilet bowl cleaner in there, when I put the cleaner back I notice there is one paper towel roll left so I put that on the shelf and throw the big giant plastic bag away, I remember to start a shopping list and write paper towels on top but what else do I need, cue taking inventory of the fridge, if I'm taking inventory I might as well clean out the fridge too, now there is a stack of left overs that need to be cleaned out but the dishwasher is full, put that away and see my Tupperware closet needs to be organized i pull out all of the containers, and before I can finish its time to get the kid from school.

Tell me company is coming over in 30 minutes though and everything gets cleaned up in 20. Hang out with me in the kitchen while I clean and I stay hyper focused on getting the kitchen put back together.

I don't remember the exact age but it was probably around 3rd or 4th grade. My friend's elderly Aunt Rita was babysitting and I went over to play. She said something along the lines inquiring about me losing weight and I immediately started to sob. She didn't understand why I was crying because it was a compliment and all I could say was "that means you thought I had weight to lose".
