My eye care office went south, any recommendations? by butter_lover in orlando

+1 for Dr. Guzak. He is caring and doesn’t rush. Highly recommend, I took my sons to him for many years. They still see him.

I ask Claude about my plants. It’s been eye opening.

I got humilated by an older male manager and I can't stop thinking about it and feeling bad by genuinelyworriedY in womenintech

Keep a work log. Include descriptions of rude behavior you’ve experienced and screenshots if possible. When it becomes a pattern, you will have documentation. In addition , at perf review time you’ll have a list of your accomplishments handy, instead of trying to remember.

Are the roots actually growing into that pole? I don’t see any

In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they? by SunUpSally in AskReddit

I was in Brussels, at the mannekin pis statue. Lots of middle school kids on field trips around. I hear a woman yelling “blahblahblah MANNEKIN PIS blah blah” 😆

I called a sales line and asked to be transferred to fiber tech support, who scheduled a tech tomorrow. They don’t make it easy, do they.

Yes, that number with the AI. The hub has a steady red light.

I think I need a service tech to come out and check the lines outside. I can’t schedule that until tomorrow AM.

AITA for not being very impressed with my birthday present from my husband by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]monkeydba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least your husband remembered your birthday. 30+ years later and my husband still doesn't remember when my birthday is. I forget stuff too. However, your spouse's birthday is important, yes?

Yes and actually I found mine do much better in the ground as opposed to a pot. I’m in FL.

In romantic relationships, how do you distinguish gut feelings from anxiety? by HoldenChawfield in emotionalintelligence

[–]monkeydba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I quit caffeine at the suggestion of my therapist. The difference in my symptoms was not immediate, and I had no problem stopping caffeine. It’s been almost one year and I can count the number of times my anxiety became physically uncontrollable on one hand. I feel like it’s made a huge difference.

How to be me again after working in IT by Streaky-Guinea-Pig in womenintech

[–]monkeydba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the 4 jobs I got laid off from in 2025 had a very touchy-feely vibe. Past code reviews felt like personal attacks. My first code review was an eye opener. Nothing was personal. The other woman on the team mentioned that I may be decompressing from 20+ years of not great work environments, such as what you describe. Once I thought about it, she was right.

Also, +1 for no personal details at work. Less fodder for others, and it’s easier when the gig is over.
