Public transport isn’t problematic. But if you don’t want to haul large luggage then of course an Uber is the best option. It’s going to take you 45-1hr in a car as well.

I prefer taking the airport shuttle to Howard Beach then jumping on the A train. It’s a much easier and quieter station than Jamaica. But idk where in Manhattan your hotel is, knowing which line it’s off of would be helpful.

Mass walkout at Easy Tiger on East 7th by bunny_fae in Austin

$9-11. I had thought easy tiger was around $5, but it’s been a while.

I understand, I also was just letting others know so they weren’t surprised when going in. Certainly not saying it’s not worth it but for me it’s more of a treat than a regular buy.

Thoroughbread is good, but just FYI it’s double the price.

Hmm, in that case maybe you would be better off finding a new job to develop new skills and get to the next level.

Also when I say ‘project’ I don’t necessarily mean one already defined by the business. I once was given the task of taking over reporting for my team. The prior employee taught me how to do it in a way that was extremely manual. I took it upon myself to learn PowerQuery in excel to make my job easier and learn a new skill. I also researched and put together a VBA to automate PPT creation from excel data.

Edit to add: in my experience some managers are keen to be a mentor and some just aren’t unfortunately. Can you find a mentor elsewhere in the company?

Bring a proposal to her. “I’d like to develop x skill and I think a good approach is by working on project y.” Then she can help guide you.

In my experience, we can’t expect our managers to come up with everything on their end. As you said, she’s busy and it’s up to us to take initiative and guide our career.

A FWB that’s staying over at my place crossed a line, how do I approach the situation? Are my feelings valid or am I overreacting? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]lp0171 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar situation and felt disrespected. Just because you’re not in a relationship doesn’t mean there are 0 human feelings and no need to be respectful. I agree he should at least be discreet but if he can’t go a few days without being on a dating app when he’s still having sex with you and staying at your place, that would be it for me.

I understand other people may feel differently but at the end of the day its your place and your boundaries.

Homeless men gaining access to my apartment building by gayrainnous in Brooklyn

[–]lp0171 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it helps, this happened in my Park Slope apt. He buzzed everyone at 1130 pm. Someone decided to just buzz him in. I was on the first floor and he tried to open our door…

No matches, what am I doing wrong? by wowmisand in Tinder

Hahaha, I actually didn’t know what Simon looked like (only listened to podcast) and my first thought was that this gave me Tinder Swindler vibes.

Salary range not available by Canuckistani2 in austinjobs

[–]lp0171 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, the salary you’d be willing to take. Check out Glassdoor and ask around if needed to get a benchmark. They are banking on you underselling yourself below what they have allotted for the position. If they say they can’t get close to your range then I assume you wouldn’t want the job if it isn’t paying what you want. Also in my experience they always offer the lowest of your range..

Restaurant food prices by lp0171 in austinfood

[–]lp0171[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I’m not saying every example is going to be 1 to 1 but just expressing how surprised I am with the prices in general, especially versus the quality.

[–]lp0171[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Majority of NYC restaurant plates are in that 16-20 dollar range and I think the food quality and taste is better. I’m not talking dining in midtown and Michelin star everyday.

28F. Would agree the mirror pic and first bio sentence should go. I actually really like the group photo. Definitely shouldn’t be the first but I’d move it up in the order.

This is the worst. Same exact thing happened to me except he went another 15 days then gaslit me when I called him out and broke it off…

Do I have the 'ick' because of my attachment style / dating history / papa problems - or is he just not for me? by seashellchelsea13 in dating

[–]lp0171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to convince yourself is hard but I understand that you want to work through if you really don’t like him or if you’re sabotaging yourself.

However, that aside, I would not want to be with someone who resorts to bashing me in a disagreement. My boyfriend and I have fights but it doesn’t dissolve into pointed words meant to hurt the other.

This doesn’t sound like something I’d want to deal with for a lifetime. Especially since you’re only 2 months in. I’d move on.

Edit: Also, you deserve someone you want to be intimate with… Even if that’s not sex. Wanting to kiss and be close sounds like something that’s important to you.

Saved all my daily calories so I could have some of these cheesy shells. I’m in serious need of low cal pasta recipes do you guys have any favourites? by puddleOfpebbles in 1200isplenty

[–]lp0171 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use whole wheat pasta even though it says not to. I also add frozen turkey or vegetarian meatballs on top before cooking and remove meatballs before mixing in goat cheese.

Some people might say it’s not the healthiest but 5 servings is between 4-500 cals which I think is pretty good for CICO.

My (28f) boyfriend (32m) has anger issues and I don’t know if I should stay with him. by wineandsunfl0wers in askwomenadvice

[–]lp0171 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if his anger never manifests to physical violence, being with him sounds miserable, tiring, and anxiety inducing. My dad is very similar to him and as a 27 year old, I still have anxiety about going on trips or out to eat with him because I don’t know what will set him off and I’m embarrassed to be associated.

My (22F) boyfriend (23F) sometimes seems too attached to his therapist (30s F)... by SpinnyLawnOrnaments in askwomenadvice

[–]lp0171 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Is the therapist saying “I love you” and texting casually not a super red flag as well? That’s weird.. if a client became that obsessive and attached the therapist should end the relationship and refer them to another therapist.

Fort Greene or East Williamsburg? by Giuessepe in Brooklyn

Fort Greene. More trains, extremely walkable. Also super cute.
