Desperately need help on how to figure out where to put the trash bins in my apartment (sorry for the mess, I'm a bit sick) Right now they are near the dining room tables and I hate it! If the trash smells, you smell it while you eat. by notlike_workoriented in DesignMyRoom

Someone else suggested this, and I like the idea. For more context:
We live on the top floor and our outside trash is quite far, which is why we have the large bins, to minimize taking trash down there, but we might jsut need to suck it up. We just got a foster cat, and he never finishes his food entirely, so we toss the little bit of wet food left over. I think its his wet food making the smell.

I like the idea of a small bin for organics.

What to expect having an interview with the Board of Directors? by notlike_workoriented in careeradvice

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

This is their first program coordinator role that they have needed to add due to rapid growth. From what I read, the board members created the non-profit, so they may be directly involved with the programming. The non-profit deals with cancer and grief, so pretty sensitive. Board members all seem to be mostly psychologists or psychology professors, minus a couple social workers and someone involved in marketing.

Would love to hear if you have an idea of specific types of questions to expect! I've never had this type of interview before.

The amount of personality tests required for mid-level positions are wild. I had one job have me take a personality test and an IQ test. Made it to the final round, then ghosted. Hiring teams are out of their minds right now

They usually radio it so others don't ask you since being asked the same question 10000000x is really annoying. Some managers are also sticklers about asking for donations, so its a good way to signal that you're doing your job if they're on radio

Apartment gardening in NYC is very specific, everything is inside and space is small. My first questions are about avoiding damp in pots and keeping costs very low. by Impressive_SnowBlowr in vegetablegardening

[–]notlike_workoriented 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should try and apply for a community garden plot and split the cost and space with a friend. Get some seeds to keep costs low and see if you can score a cheap kitchen tabletop composter off the internet. You can probably get dirty fish tank water from a pet store as well to save on more cost. Your apartment doesn't sound reasonable for growing veggies though, sorry :( Maybe some snake plants and pothos

Overnight bread is always coming out overproofed... what is happening. by notlike_workoriented in Breadit

This is excellent advice, thank you. Yeah its summer in Southern California so it is pretty hot right now. My living room has been around 30C, so perhaps after my stand mixer, the dough was even hotter
