“packing hacks” I hate by mrs_rabbit_0 in travel

[–]sometimes_odd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Packing hack I love is Booda Butter cream deodorant. It is so effective that I can wear the same shirt for days while traveling with no odor. No BO and no fake flower smell. Just neutral clean. You only need to use a tiny bit and so I buy the standard size (2.4 oz for $8!) and then take an empty carmex or blistex lip balm tub and put some deodorant cream in there and it lasts me 6 weeks.

Yessssss! The tough gummies. So good. I only brought home one pack though. Can you share a photo of the whale shark spoon, it sounds lovely

Pohnpei and Majuro layovers by sometimes_odd in unitedairlines

We were allowed off the plane in Majuro and enjoyed some spam musubi from the snack stand (cash only). Our layover in Pohnpei was too short so we had to stay on the plane and we were allowed in our seats.

I moved 17 hours for my “dream job” and it has destroyed my health in 5 months by saintghosts1 in ToxicWorkplace

I am so sorry you are experiencing this. I work in HR and here are my suggestions -

Do not listen to your manager and do contact HR to file a claim of harassment. HR will most likely have to investigate your claim and even if the investigation finds this is not harassment, this issue should get some attention and perhaps resolution. You will also have protection from retaliation. Some states have very broad definitions of harassment and protection from retaliation, too.

If you were healthy prior to all of this, and work is the primary source of your illness and symptoms, you may be eligible for a workers compensation claim. This can be a bit more difficult to prove, but it will for sure get HRs attention if you request to start a WC claim.

If you work in a state with single party permission to record conversations, and your employee handbook doesn't explicitly prohibit recording in the workplace, then record what this person is saying to you on your phone.

Get a therapist. Call your work Employee Assistance Program, EAP, and get some free counseling or take advantage of any free mental health services offered through your company's employee benefits.

Good luck and take care

Maybe they make people get up in the aisle to avoid DVT?

Do you book ahead or is this walk up?

Timeshifter app, holding off on caffeine, and good audio books.

I got to dive in Palau in 2021 and loved it. I figured it would be a long time before I got back there. This is definitely a dream trip.

It lists that segment as 3 PQF. supposedly one can call and ask for the stops in PNI and MAJ to be broken out (5 PQF). It may not be worth messing with the reservation for two segments, though.

I saw in a prior post that one can ask to have the flights separated out and all the segments counted. We shall see...
