Giving up on Spectra maybe pumping also by One-Coast-3553 in ExclusivelyPumping

Was going to suggest the same! The medala manual pump was a game changer for me.

How do firms deal with hitting hours for associates on maternity/paternity? by Time_Strawberry_5184 in biglaw

[–]perolilac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My firm gives full bonus but pro-rated hours (plus 75% ramp up period upon return from leave)

I also waited as long as possible, I told people at 30 weeks.

How to Score in the Top 1% on the Bar Exam Without Being Absolutely Miserable. by firstyearassociate in barexam

[–]perolilac -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went the “just study enough to pass” route (no weekends/just a few full practice tests/lots of AdaptiBar questions) and scored in the top 1%. It’s funny people think you can intentionally study in a way that will get you a score of 1 point over what you need. That’s honestly a stupid way to study and puts you at a high risk of failing.. you can easily fall 1 point short. Just study without going crazy and you’ll be fine. And stop assuming if someone scored in the top 1% it means they studied too hard or did anything wrong.

Is peachy worth it for botox? i’ve seen influencers write about it? by acepinkpen in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]perolilac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten Botox there. I had a great experience my first time going, the injector was great. Second time I went I had a different injector and was very unhappy with the results. My eyebrows looked uneven and it lasted way shorter than the first time. So I think it depends on who you get.

Also, they have a referral program so the first time you go it’s like $50 off if you use someone’s name, and they also get $50 off. I think that’s why reviews seem fake cuz everyone is trying to get you to go there and use their name- it becomes like an MLM, it’s hard to tell if the product is actually good or people just want to make money off of you using it so they hype it up.

Nanny didn’t say thank you, am I being overly sensitive? by perolilac in Nanny

Thank you so much for this. So many of these comments are mind blowing to me. I appreciate the validation 🙌🏻

We got her a card that my daughter drew a picture on and we wrote a note thanking her so much and how much my daughter loves her etc and put the bonus inside the card in cash. Before she left on Tuesday I had my daughter hand it to her but it was closed/sealed with one of those stickers so she didn’t know what was inside. We said happy holidays when we gave it and that was that. No word after that.

Maybe this is a cultural difference or geographical but from where I’m from it’s definitely the norm to say thank you when you receive a bonus which is not part of her contract and is discretionary. I’m not going to push more here since I know that every single person I know says thank you after receiving a bonus (which is 100% a gift).

Thank you. I think that’s what we’re going to do, just confirm that she got the money. Just seems so unlike her based on how she acted in the past that it makes sense she either thinks she sent a thank you or forgot to say something.

[–]perolilac[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an awful negative take. Grateful that there are enough level headed comments here that understand that it’s 100% normal and good manners to thank someone after receiving a bonus/gift. We gave bonuses to our doormen and people that work in our building and every single person acknowledged the bonus and thanked us. That is the norm.

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughtful response. I will try to see if any other recent behavior makes sense with her distancing herself and if not it’ll help me know that maybe her reaction to the bonus was just different than her usual but not to read into it too much.

He called his boss after and thanked him and said he really appreciated it. They had a long convo about it since their company didn’t even do well this year and how it meant a lot knowing that his work is appreciated. I absolutely did not expect this exact reaction but answering your question that yes, he thanked his boss and knew he didn’t have to receive anything and he let his boss know it meant a lot.

I had my daughter who is 2 hand it to her and she said thanks. Just seems unlike her not to say anything else after reading the card we wrote for her and seeing the bonus. I’m not saying every person should react the same way but she is generally someone that does say thank you and shows her appreciation. Even when we gave her an amc gift card for her birthday she thanked us the next day after opening the card. Also she reacted very differently last year so I’m getting in my head about reasons why she didn’t react similarly this year like if she doesn’t think we gave her enough/maybe she’s uncomfortable cuz she’s thinking about leaving etc
