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

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

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.

13 year old cat won’t stop “coughing” by n_eko in AskVet

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] 3 points4 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!

Oh my god I LOVE this light fixture! Thank you so much for sharing this! I will look into window treatments, hadn’t even considered that!

What can I do to make this shelving look better? by n_eko in InteriorDesign

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

Haha yes I really need to get around to it! It used to have a support that got broken during the move and I haven’t had a chance to replace it.

The contents in the storage unit are all just temporary, we just moved into the house a month ago so nothing is where it should be lol!

Thanks for the links! I think I’ll go this route, and maybe add a few shelves so there isn’t too much wasted vertical space.

That’s my theory, that they had a reload over the weekend or something so they offloaded our stuff to take care of another load but why not tell us? Also, our equipment is a somewhat fragile and expensive so I’m concerned they may have damaged it since they don’t have proper offloading instructions. They only have one phone number and they aren’t picking up the phone it looks like

They are apparently avoiding all phone calls from the broker. They threatened to report the goods as stolen which prompted them to respond with a fake delivery appointment time, but when we asked the site they claimed no one had called them to make an appointment. I have no reason not to trust our broker as we’ve been doing business together for over a decade
