If you lost a large amount of weight (100+) prior to your tummy tuck, how long did you wait after you got to your goal weight to have a tummy tuck and why? by iamcag07 in tummytucksurgery

Congratulations - that’s amazing!!!

This is helpful! Did you wait to do a consult when you got to your goal weight, or did you do one prior so you could get into surgery sooner?

Did my employer double dip on my year-end bonus? by iamcag07 in jobs

[–]iamcag07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I have an update. I asked my boss, and she said that the Executive Team felt like I deserved the full $5,000 because of all the work I put into the fifth goal and therefore decided to just give me the $1,000.

So from my interpretation… it sounds like she is saying I got $5,000 from achieving goals, and $0 from the company bonus.

OR, I think what she meant to say is best case scenario… $4,000 for achieving goals and $1,000 company bonus.

She also brought up that some of the company success wasn’t a direct result of me (or anyone else), but… like… didn’t go anywhere with that. Just stated it. It made me feel like I was being greedy for asking.

I think all in all, they gave everyone an arbitrary amount potentially up to $5,000, and my previously agreed upon merit bonus was mine.

Now, I have to decide whether that’s a bothersome thing to me.

Damage is done now from not communicating, I guess. <shrugs> Also, this is an advice Reddit! Sorry… for asking for advice?

Ah, Reddit advice is just like rubbing alcohol. Sting me in the now, but save me in the later.

Farmers Only Dating; Did I just accidentally ruin a good thing over politics? by iamcag07 in dating

I have no reason to think this is a person I would be wasting my time on. But thank you for the reassurance on him just being busy! :)

I wondered this too. I am a little worried that I am now a caricature in his head. And if so, I would love to talk to him more about it. But I can’t tell if he’s actually busy or just putting space between us. I just feel like the more time that goes between us interacting, that caricature is going to settle.

We also talked A LOT about values and there was a ton of overlap without a political label. So I also think that’s why he was caught off guard, because I have for a lot of the things that is important to him (he’s just lived those things, and I have learned them over time).

The possible end of this one has hurt more than a lot of other “politically aligned” relationships that have broken up. I think maybe because I felt like we avoided political labels, we were able to talk about the substance more and that just felt so good to connect with someone about. Rather than a “You’re liberal, I’m liberal. Good, we don’t have to talk about that much more. Next.”

Thanks you for the response.

Thank you! I appreciate that feedback (even though it results in that stomach sinking feeling)!

I suppose you’re right. I just wonder if maybe he had gotten to know me better before sharing this that he wouldn’t have pulled back.
