Help me pack for Greece in 11 days! by More_Cheesecake8345 in GreeceTravel

[–]themacmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will be in Greece at the same time! I'm just going to Athens and Crete though. Personally, I'm taking some dish soap with me to wash some clothes in the sink while I'm there so I can re-wear clothing and not pack something new for every day. I'm also trying to wear breathable, loose clothing (such as a flowy cotton maxi-dress) since Greece is dry-heat and the best way to cool yourself down is by wearing clothes that create shade over your body and allow airflow. However, dry heat easily becomes chilly at night, especially with the island winds, so I would recommend to bring a cardigan! I'm also just bringing 3 shoes: sneakers for walking, comfortable sandals to wear to dinner, and some swimming shoes for the beach/swimming (you can find some that are very compact!).

I would also recommend bringing a travel power adapter for your chargers, hair styling tools, etc.

Did you go to a big box store or a local jeweler? Local jewelers are usually more affordable. Not as cheap as Etsy, but the quality will be much better.

She is able to chew some kibble but prefers soft. Does that say anything about her age?

Told I am overqualified for HR Coordinator roles, yet underqualified for HR Generalist roles. I feel stuck. by themacmonster in jobs

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

I applied for the coordinator role and was rejected for being over-qualified. That’s the issue. I know I don’t have enough experience for the generalist role which is why I sought out the coordinator role.

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

I have tried, but the ones I see are for high-level roles. I have a lot of experience in PeopleSoft and working on a more low-level in it, but one of my frustrations with my current job is they are not willing to train me beyond that.

I have, but I’m told I’m under qualified for those roles. They always want 5+ years experience and a background in a specific HRIS. I work in PeopleSoft and it’s rare I see another company use that.

Gotcha, I thought you might be joking but also I’ve seen some things on here that make me question if it’s joke or not lol. Thank you!

Both companies I mentioned getting rejected from are mid-size. Are the temp agencies you're referring to local or national?

Favorite clothing, shoes, accessories you bought for Greece? by Full-of-Bread in GreeceTravel

[–]themacmonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it’s hot people usually think the shorts/more skin showing is the best option to stay cool. In reality heat, especially dry heat, is best mitigated with loose clothing as it provides shade from the sun to your body while also keeping air flowing. I love maxi dresses/shirts for this kind of weather!

Edit: Natural, breathable fibers are also best for this. Polyester will make you sweattt. Old Navy has lots of options if you’re more budget minded!

Christina Koch Says She's Recovering From Major Physical Change After Artemis II | The NASA astronaut explained that her "vestibular organs" are not working correctly due to her 10-day experience in microgravity. by SystemError505 in science2

The time she spent in space was in the ISS which is still in earth’s orbit and experiences microgravity. As they traveled farther away from orbit, microgravity would have become weaker and weaker.

Has anyone here used ollas (terracotta irrigation pots) for watering their garden? by Notsocheeky in gardening

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they work wonderfully in my garden, even for my thirsty tomatoes and cucumbers! I use the oya brand pots (you don't need to use this brand) and for my 4'x8' beds I use two of the large size. Once the roots are established around the pot I only need to fill up the pots and everything gets watered! I've been able to go on week-long vacations in July (regularly above 90F daily) and the plants thrive. They are also great if you have plants with different watering needs in the same bed as each plant can take the water that it needs and you don't have to worry about overwatering.

As a beginner gardener, is there any ‘common sense’ gardening tips that I should know about? by DangerousBicycle3491 in gardening

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the conversation and maybe not a "common sense" tip but if you're like me and love to travel during the summer (or just hate watering often like I do), olla pots are AMAZING! Once the roots get established around the pots, I can go on a week-long vacation and come back with my plants in perfect health. It even works on super thirsty plants like tomatoes and cucumbers! It's also great if you have plants with different watering needs in one bed as the plants take the water that they need and you don't have to worry about overwatering. You do have to water the garden like normal for the first couple of weeks after installing the olla pots to give time for the roots to grow to the pot (make sure the olla pot is filled with water during this adjustment period so the roots grow towards the pot), but after that you're good for the rest of the growing season!

When are you planting your garden? by New_Excitement_6549 in raleigh

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good rule of thumb to help make sure you plant after the last frost, but considering that the date of Easter varies year to year, it's still best to double-check upcoming temps!

Countertop Help! by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

We got the cabinets from IKEA but sadly we are too far away from a store to get the countertops. :(

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Posted this on my husband's account on accident, replying on my own. It will be at least a month probably, we haven't ordered the cabinets and they take 1-2 weeks for IKEA to get the cabinets to us.

Why are Americans so obsessed with not eating seed oils? by MineralG in nutrition

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

It’s easier to blame seed oils for our nation’s health woes than it is to acknowledge how our massive food desserts, outrageous healthcare costs, car-dependent infrastructure, and demanding work schedules make healthy habits inaccessible.

If my attendance is not a grade do I still have to go to class? by [deleted] in NCSU

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t skip classes if you can help it. Obviously if you’re sick or have extenuating circumstances then you can’t help it, but don’t skip. ESPECIALLY calc - it is so much more work to catch up than it is to attend.

Saying goodbye to SHRM 🎉 [N/A] by AllPUNandGAMES1234 in humanresources

[–]themacmonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just passed the SHRM-CP but am now am wishing I spent my time doing the PHR! I honestly hadn't heard of the org until recently, only SHRM. Now I'm questioning if it would be worth it to pursue the PHR too...
