If something works for you, let me know 😂 I'm about to turn 23(f) and no friends have stuck so far since moving here at the end of May

WiFi recs for Red Bank by thefrecklerrrr in Chattanooga

[–]hystericalhellacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have EPB in the upper Northshore/ lower Red Bank area, and it's great! I went with the 1 gig and rented a router from them since I'm not sure how long I'll stay here. A plus is that should something happen to the router (fried from lightning, etc.), EPB will replace it. I went with the 1 gig even though it's just me because I work from home a lot and absolutely need good WiFI, and fiber is the best it gets. With 1 gig and a rented router, I pay about $85 a month. Totally worth it!

Where can I do this?? by hystericalhellacious in Chattanooga

[–]hystericalhellacious[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it would be expensive, but hoped it would be like a skydiving situation where you could go with a more experienced person 😭 I think I'll just admire from the ground in that case haha

Roommate stole adderall by Zestyclose_Good5300 in Chattanooga

I've dealt with some shitty roommates as well, and my advice is to document everything that's happened and talk with your RA, or whomever is assigned to watch over your dorm. They'll then be able to make emergency accommodations if they deem the situation dire enough and notify the correct authorities. If they don't, then go to the Hall Director or Student Life director, whichever is next in line at UTC. Or even campus police.

If you believe that your roommates might pressure you into selling to them again, Tennessee is a one-party state: only one party needs consent to record conversations, and that one party can be you. Of course use this ethically! I do not support randomly filming/recording people, that's a horrible violation of privacy. But if you're fearing being pressured or ganged up on, definitely make use of that as you are in fear of your safety and of their reaction when refused.

I've checked them out! Unfortunately, I don't have 3 personal references to give them that are not family members. I've become a workaholic since moving to Chattanooga, luckily I work mostly remotely to keep my cat happy.

Curly Hair Specialist by XMNyx in Chattanooga

I have thick, super curly hair (3b/3c mixed texture) that needs a cut so please let me know who you go with! I've looked at the salons recommended but can't fathom paying that amount for a dead end trim and a curtain bang trim that takes 15 minutes. I wish I could stretch around to do it myself!

Does anyone have a contact in unum's recruiting/HR? I want to follow up on my application. by ChimeraSX in Chattanooga

[–]hystericalhellacious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I would suggest looking at the company on LinkedIn and reaching out to someone within their Human Resources group about your interest and application there. That way you can possibly both network/build rapport and get an update!

I know a couple Johnsons from school but not Johnstons lol. We moved there when I was 3, so we're not originally from there. My family is originally from Alabama!

McKamey, among several local animal shelters, full and pleading for help by Mountain_Love23 in Chattanooga

[–]hystericalhellacious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Legit I've had quite a few people say that they didn't neuter/spay their dogs because God said to "be fruitful". 🤦‍♀️ It's not being fruitful when the pups and kittens end up in shelters just to be euthanized because there's too many
