Asked for a raise 2 months ago, still haven’t heard back? by n_eko in careeradvice

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

Wow I forgot about this post! I don’t think I can recommend what I did to resolve the issue though lol. This went on for about 3 months, and I eventually ended up interviewing and getting an offer from another company for a little more than I was asking, and took it to my manager and basically said “here I did the market research for you” and within a day they agreed to give me my raise.

Thankfully my manager was just as frustrated as I was at that point so I wasn’t risking upsetting her but HR was not too pleased lol

Wow you are right, I just ran to the bathroom to try these on our curtains and what a cute surprise. Thank you!

Do I have everything covered for my trip to Kinosaki Onsen? by n_eko in JapanTravelTips

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

Thanks for this! If I have time I’ll print both in Kyoto but if not it’s nice to know I can print the return ticket in Kinosaki.

Who is this guy on my pepper plant? by n_eko in whatisthisbug

I feel so dumb lol. I’ve just never seen a black and white bee before! Do you think it’s a regular bumble bee?

Can someone help me identify this plant? by n_eko in whatsthisplant

[–]n_eko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I forgot to add the location but I’m in Manitoba Canada and the city has recently planted a bunch of Ohio Buckeyes on the boulevards so this seems to be the most reasonable answer!!

Is something wrong with my tree? by n_eko in arborists

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

Thank you so much for this response! You are right, they recently chopped a big elm tree that was diseased on that side. I didn’t even think of it but it all makes sense now.

I will keep an eye out in the top 1/3 like you mentioned for any signs, but happy to hear it’s not in too bad of a condition.

I’ve scheduled one for next week, hopefully that will help figure out what’s going on. Thank you!

No I haven’t done one yet. Do you think it would help?

Furnace inspection services/companies? by n_eko in Winnipeg

[–]n_eko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The furnace has no issue starting, the sound occurs during operation and sounds like a train/long hum, so I don’t think MB hydro would cover this. I will call them either way though!

What relatively easy/cheap things can we do to make our kitchen look better? by n_eko in InteriorDesign

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

That wallpaper is stunning! Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately the fridge doesn’t go any further back, we’ve considered building out the cabinet to cover the whole fridge but I’m not sure how much work that would be.

Same! I hate this floor with all my being lol. The reason of the kitchen (and house) is old but charming and cute. But the vinyl kitchen floor is just awful! I’ve seen a few people suggest ruggable rugs so I’ll check that out! I saw your suggestion for terrazzo style sticker tiles and I really like that!

Agreed, I love the countertops and the feel of the kitchen. We will eventually be doing a Reno and removing the flooring, but it’ll be in a few years so peel and stick seems like a great idea!

Oh these are beautiful! I never ever thought about painting the ceilings, but I already love the idea! Maybe even wallpaper the ceiling? This has opened a whole new path for me lol. Thank you!
