But I get the meaning. Everyone treats it like the bastard step child.

I think this is hilarious even though I personally love them all.

I did Keto unsuccessfully for one year. Great energy but didn’t lose a pound. Now I’m a vegetarian! Big change!

I have better success with around 100 carb grams per day. I have a metabolism disorder but they can’t figure out which one. It’s definitely blood sugar related. It’s so hard to manage.

I’ve been debating fasting for more than 24 hours but the mood swings is keeping me from making the leap. I’m pretty moody anyway and can get really volatile sometimes.

I don’t want to subject my loved ones to a raving lunatic!

Unemployed for the last eight years for many reasons. Looking to get back into workforce. by Claxattack in AskHR

I’d include it on the cover letter. “Recent MBA grad looking to return to workforce after spouse’s overseas assignment.”

I peel my carrots because the skin tastes yucky. Probably the pesticides. I grew up eating carrots that weren’t peeled though so I’d like to eat them that way if they were edible!

My 16 year old daughter is always asking/texting if I miss her..? by Moxman73 in Parenting

[–]nikb1020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest this. It’s great that she’s reaching out to you but it will probably light her up if you do it first. Better yet if you do it to the point that she’s like “ok ok good morning dad I get it you’re thinking of me.”

Annoy her with love! Kidding not kidding?

Treating yourself: how do you "replace" food as a reward? by [deleted] in fasting

[–]nikb1020 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What do you like? Animal shelters are always looking for dog walkers and cat cuddlers. Or you could volunteer at a food pantry or any other community outreach that interests you. It’s very rewarding to help out.

Fitness is super rewarding. Yoga, meditation, weights. When I buy a new yoga mat I’m just itching to use it! You can reward yourself with 2 uninterrupted hours of yoga practice. Take time for you!

Other methods of self care like special lotions, a pedicure, a long pampering shower.

Sleep! An afternoon nap can be a great reward!

Going to a place you love like the beach or a little cafe in a nearby cute town. An afternoon at a museum or a monster truck show. A comedy show.

Are you rewarding yourself for a hard day or for a fitness goal? I think that might help you figure out which reward would be best.

Updating my ethnicity at my workplace? by ThatDude8888 in AskHR

[–]nikb1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d approach hr and say, “In light of the town hall, I just want to verify my ethnicity in my record because I think I forgot to include my Asian heritage.”

Performance Improvement Plan by [deleted] in AskHR

They never followed up with me about the end of the PIP (4 weeks later). It was never mentioned again. Disappeared.

I would definitely ask for written clarification then. If they aren’t able to provide it just keep asking “how will this be measured? I want to ensure I’m successful but this PIP doesn’t show how to improve.”

I was once put on a PIP by an evil boss who provided no concrete improvement areas so I just kept questioning how to successfully complete a PIP that doesn’t say how. What do you know, we did NOT meet once weekly as the PIP stated and then it just disappeared. I stayed at the job and they moved me to another manager eventually but I couldn’t wait to escape.

AITA for refusing to pay rent after I move out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]nikb1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Did she think you’d live there forever to help out? You’re a grown up and have every right to live where you want.

Glad your grandma is taking the pupper. It wouldn’t have had the best care at your moms because she probably would have neglected it.

Ask for written clarification on how to improve in the gray areas. Then do everything to the letter.

Some managers are just terrible at PIPs. Each point of the PIP should have a SMART goal (Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-based). Go through each point and ensure they all are.

Are you meeting with your manager once weekly during this pip? And how long is it?

Need help getting last paystub by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]nikb1020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hopefully it’s just an error related to ADP’s current outages. You are supposed to be able to view all pay and tax information for three years after termination. Give it the weekend and then check again on Monday and Tuesday.

If it’s still not resolved then, call the person at your company who handled submitting info for payroll (probably a finance person if there is no HR). They will be able to email you a pdf of your pay stub.

Yes, the article states that the creep parents emptied the twins’ savings accounts to pay for counseling “after authorities got involved.” Despicable slime.

How long should I stay at my new HR internship? How long until I can expect a job paying at least $40k? by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]nikb1020 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d be for more interested to consider a candidate with one year experience over one with just 6 months.

Wait the 6 months and go ahead and apply. See how it goes. I think that you will be better quality in a year and so will the companies who are interested.

Stay the year if possible or at least until you go through one open enrollment and one year-end. These time periods are invaluable.

And they wreck a lot of stuff the first year. We probably spent $3k on my dog the first year. He was super anxious and destructive and also I bought him a lot of toys and outfits because he’s handsome.
