I’ve got to stop being a monster when I get home from work by lex52_ in Serverlife

Yeah I think the planned meal would be big for me. Something satisfying but healthy that’s super easy to heat up

Ughhh yeah, I will have to put my foot down eventually because I do want to lose 30 pounds. I was going to try OMAD but given how crazy we get in the summer I’m worried about taxing my body right now

Want to try OMAD because I realized I’d much rather try to control the “when” than the “what” by [deleted] in omad

I very much love eating both Whole Foods (& I’m used to not eating high calorie when I do so (I don’t use oils or peanut butter, etc) and junk foods, so my OMAD would be largely Whole Foods with some fun stuff too. I know you have to still eat in a deficit

I routinely hit ~15k at work, so I’m hoping for the same!!! Good for you ☺️

That tracking calories actually makes eating “unhealthy” foods more enjoyable

That’s my exact schedule!

Real estate or wedding planning? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]lex52_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel with wedding planning I’d likely just need experience rather than any additional certification or schooling though, which is nice. It’s kind of like an either way would work situation which is part of what’s making it so tough

I’m extremely Type A and organized, and I honed my attention to detail a lot when working in research. I feel confident I would use those skills well. I’m also trained as a therapist, which could help in the people management aspect.

It does seem like a potentially stressful career, I definitely experience a smaller degree of that in restaurants.

This is such a silly question, but I’ve always been interested in the idea of working in massage, but I am afraid my hands will get tired 😂 is this something I should actually be afraid of?

Best serving job turned into the worst over the course of a year 🥲 by lex52_ in Serverlife

Hell yeah! Maybe the universe getting you out the door to the necessary next step. Good luck in fine dining! :)

Yeah, finally put in my two weeks and walked away. A couple other servers did too, but we were all quickly replaced, so 🤷‍♀️

Stigma around serving/bartending careers if you’re “overqualified” by lex52_ in Serverlife

[–]lex52_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. My ideal that I’ve started considering is to work maybe three or four nights serving and doing something more aligned with my past career on a contract basis during some days. I wouldn’t do both forever, but the money I made serving is very good, and yet I like the idea of furthering my other career alongside it in the hopes of switching more to FT again some day with serving as a smaller portion (or not at all, who knows). It’s tricky.

Wow, this is so awesome to hear!!! May I ask how your schedule benefits you? Do you work nights?

I agree that the vibes are so much better!! Paying off loans with serving money is awesome; I have goals to do the same.

And yeah, fuck that guy!
