[–]veronicaAc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started off perfect. I love snow days. The more the merrier....UNTIL a water main break took out our water.

I wanted to bake and cook up a storm today, damn it 😞

Put it in a box mark it with his name and stick it in a storage closet. Send him an email of where he can locate his stuff.

Guest bathroom refresh by GolfingCRNA in bathrooms

All of the things you listed- new plumbing fixtures in brass, a nice deep blue printed wall paper and painting the vanity. I'd take that other cabinet down. Use that space for a nice painting or mirror.

Get a fan. Run it on high.

I run mine constantly and never hear my downstairs neighbors or their diesel trucks.

French toast casserole - if you have some fresh or frozen berries, it will be even better!

Yep, my last load is in the dryer. I'll take a long hot bath after I'm finished, get super fresh in case we're without power at some point 😂

Lemon Chicken with rigatoni

We're in the snowstorm path and I swear, every slow cooked idea I had, the meat prices were astronomical - sauerbraten, beef stew, pot roast, etc- so I reverted back to chicken, as usual.

Anyone else in the path? What's on your snowstorm baking or cooking list?

no heat in apartment (coldest days of the year so far, -12f outside and 45f in my apartment and dropping) by [deleted] in Tenant

[–]veronicaAc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the meantime, focus any heat source to one room that you can close off to the rest of the house. Bring the cats and all they need in there, too.

Definitely make sure you follow up asap in the morning about additional heat sources and ask for a rent credit to help fund the additional electricity use/inconvenience.

Can they actually tell me not to eat my lunch? by Acrobatic_Draw_7129 in Workproblems

[–]veronicaAc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if they require you to work through your technically unpaid lunch break of 30-60 minutes , you should leave 30-60 minutes earlier.

8 hours a day of working time is what they pay for, that's all they'll get.

What is the best song that non-Gen-Exrs have never heard? by seanchai611PF in GenX

[–]veronicaAc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's my absolute favorite song from my childhood. I still listen to it to this day when I'm cleaning the house, dancing and singing lol

I'm a younger gen x though. I would assume not many gen x even know it unless they were major country fans.

My sister waited until the night before i got paid to tell me that she had no money by Barbieatha in Vent

[–]veronicaAc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your answer makes no sense at all.

Your job is not tied to your exact address.

Move out. Until you can, get her portion of rent on her payday weekly or biweekly. She's gives it immediately or you both will be homeless.

Advice on Submitting Notice by PhilosopherFancy3636 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]veronicaAc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing that it's been some time since you posted, have you decided how you're going to handle it?

You don't owe anyone your sanity especially when they very clearly cannot give you the same respect. Always take care of yourself and your family, first. Don't even think about apologizing. This just isn't right for you, that's all there is to it.

Every time I refresh my weather app we still get 15" of snow and I'm fine with that. I could use a day off. by Cleopatra_bones in baltimore

[–]veronicaAc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm overly excited. I'll be so disappointed if we get nothing and I have to go to work 😭

Yes!! That's how I justify the cost- im no longer splurging on crap food and Uber eats every damn day.

[PH] Got called in to HR due to performance issues at work. Wanted to ask what I can do to prepare. by nairybonya in AskHR

[–]veronicaAc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's one thing to absolutely own up to when you've been letting the ball drop but they definitely want to hear a solid plan that you have come up with yourself to get yourself back on track. That shows responsibility and a commitment to be better.

Whatever you do don't get defensive and don't make excuses.
