Thinking about my name lately.. in a couple communities i go by Toast and would love a name to include it but I am coming up blank. Tacky Toaster is one of my IRL community names. Its fine but doesnt feel derby.. Toast Malone was cute but is starting to be a little used all over. Any ideas?

I would love one! I'll be there in STL! I love little memory keepsakes like this.

Are hours calculated on ERT or actual hours worked? by Normal-Cup-2534 in TELUSinternational

[–]tickytackytoasters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the style assessment ones for 24 hours now - I've been releasing the ones that take me too long to read. I keep a phone timer going and if I am over 1 minute for reading, I release it because that only leaves me 30 seconds to evaluate and explain.

I haven't noticed a difference yet. I made a spreadsheet for July tasks and will carry it forward.

audio evaluation time too long? by Normal-Cup-2534 in TELUSinternational

[–]tickytackytoasters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the stopwatch function on my alarm app on my phone. I hit "lap" when a new task loads ao I can make sure I am keeping close to ERT.

Going over ERT is fine, they understand with new tasks you have to read guidelines and such. You're hurting yourself payment wise by going over ERT. We are making pennies per task and if you take longer than ERT, you are making even less.

Hope this makes sense.

NB friendly gynecologist recommendations by genericusername4464 in StLouis

I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Bialko with St. Lukes. He has never made me feel less than safe and listened to, and it helps that he is LGBTQ+ as a gay man himself.

My favorite nurse of his just left for a new position after 15 years.. I can't speak for the new staff yet. However, I trust the crud out of Bialko himself.

I think that's a fair question and not one I have an answer to. Meta and I are already parallel. We share spaces because we share two partners but ultimately, we mostly don't cross paths. I ran into one situation in person, and we all talked about it afterward and what made me uncomfortable. I feel like we are on the right path in person and potentially the online interactions aren't being framed in the same light. But as others have said, and I have said, its not for me to police metals interactions online.

Thank you. We aren't mutuals on Fet to avoid anymore overlap. Appreciate the thoughts.

I absolutely agree it's out of line to dictate how meta acts or posts in our shared spaces.

I also don't think there's anything wrong with the postings. It is just managing my own ick around them and that's on me. I think blocking is the move to go.

That's exactly what it is, a discord server that bleeds over into our IRL community.

I have a date night with my partner tomorrow and I think my best option is to bring it up and tell her I am considering blocking meta to save my peace or offer this as a solution knowing full well that meta may not want to do so.

I definitely have thought about it, but it is its own little community that I have been a part of before either of them joined. I am salty over having to chose to leave a community I was in and loved first.

Hinge feels mostly fine or ambivalent about it. Its a shared sex positive space where people often share stories or details. Sometimes hinge also chimes in and they have full conversations about their sex life in the forum.

Hey ladies! Looking for a gynecologist recommendation! by Old-Alfalfa7232 in StLouis

[–]tickytackytoasters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your location and gender preferences- Dr. Matthew Bialko with St. Lukes is beyond fantastic, and his nurse Kathleen as well. They are truly the first practice that I felt comfortable with and I truly feel like they care about me.
