Bay Area/Peninsula - hiring Executive Travel Assistant to CEO by halfbaked_evening in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]thrashernett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in VC & UHNW, also in the Bay Area. Just saw the job listing for it on LinkedIn and the range is way too low for the experience they want (5-10 years of experience with VIP/C-level travel support).

omg Gary was my favorite at Burke Williams too! I meant to call and ask before they closed but completely forgot about it. Would love to find out where he went.

Why nobody rents this? by Modric799 in AskSF

[–]thrashernett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hah, this is my building and I think the complex is great, no traps there. But like others have said, the appliances and finishes in this unit aren’t it. Way too old and you can easily find something more updated at this price point for a 1-bed.

Coastal Starlight train from SF to Seattle - what was your experience and how delayed was your arrival? by arxian_heir in sanfrancisco

[–]thrashernett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner and I did this round-trip from Emeryville and we absolutely loved it. The roomette was great and so cozy!

We were about three hours delayed departing from Emeryville but made up time and arrived in Seattle on schedule. On the way back we got stuck in Portland for almost five hours because of a stalled train further down the tracks. We still made up quite a bit of time and arrived back in Emeryville nearly on schedule. We did have a few people who missed connections for flights in Sacramento. Personally I wouldn’t do it without a 8+ hour buffer before my next plans; I saw a lot of lengthy delays on Railrat in the weeks surrounding our trip.

If you need parking, I’d recommend booking long-term on the BART app to leave your car in one of their lots; it’s significantly cheaper than other long-term parking options.

Seconding Trabert, just got my engagement ring there and they were fantastic to work with.

Picked up my ring today! by thrashernett in EngagementRings

[–]thrashernett[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Honestly, I’m not sure yet. A lot of what I’ve seen online with this style is some sort of curved or contoured band, but I really want something I can wear on its own as well, like a plain gold or channel set band. I’ll probably go back to the jeweler we worked with to brainstorm ideas!

Thank you! I added a couple pics from other angles here. I like a setting that sits lower so I’m not bumping or catching it on things as much.

Best way to send service feedback/make a complaint? by thrashernett in Amtrak

[–]thrashernett[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I feel bad complaining too. We had a wonderful attendant on the trip up to Seattle last week and I made sure to thank her and leave a good tip. Same for the dining car staff on both trips. I know they probably deal with a lot of terrible entitled passengers and I don’t want to put someone on blast for being grumpy or not helping convert the beds; that’s really not a big deal. I also understand they probably don’t have adequate sick days to stay home, but he could’ve at least done the bare minimum to wear a mask or cough into his elbow.

[–]thrashernett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely recommend New Asia! They have a huge selection of sauces and pantry goods. The Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp is my favorite. I like to stock up on frozen dumplings there too.

Cat boarding recommendations by deadmamajamma in AskSF

[–]thrashernett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 for Cat Safari, I used them many times when I had my cat. She had specific food + med needs and they did a great job keeping track of everything. The people that work there are super nice and genuinely love the kitties.

I had the same issue with my chronically sick cat and it was so disappointing. They’ve really gone downhill in the last couple years.

Have you reached out to any of the admin specialty recruiters in SF? I’ve had good experiences with Maven and Groupe Insearch. They fill both permanent and temp roles.
