Getting Fed Up
2024.05.14 19:59 No-Entertainer-302 Getting Fed Up
My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. We met in person for the first time in 2023. I’ve been expressing concern for wanting to see each other again and eventually move in with each other. He says he is on board but his actions don’t say the same. We just started putting away money for another visit but it feels forced. I have been living on my own for a while. I currently rent a room but because I will have to move this upcoming February. The first thing he says is that we should probably wait to see each other. I don’t understand why we can’t make plans for me to move there. We are only a few states away (13 hour drive or 2 hour flight). The cost of living in my state is way more than his. I would be paying double the rent here. No offer or interest in moving in together. I feel like he is comfortable in the distance. I am not getting any younger. I want to take the next step and I’m just so over it. It feels like he is just pretending atp.

Counselor: 7/10. New hire right before my senior year so not much rapport but spoke to her somewhat frequently

Common App: 9/10. Displayed my ability to set really high goals and never be discouraged by failure. Reviewed by friends at Princeton and Stanford, as well as former CMU admissions officer and highly praised
MIT supps: 9/10. Some of my best work. Reused for so many other schools and scholarships because god damn were they beautiful pieces of writing.

GO YELLOW JACKETS WOOOOO
Final record of 9-1-1 (yay!)
Genuinely shocked by CMU waitlist because former admissions officer loved my personal and my supps. Was probably due to lack of insane math talent (displayed on apps that is).
Didn’t really get huge aid from anywhere but was able to cover most of the cost through existing savings and external scholarships (apply for lots of them, especially local ones!!!!)
Start early!! Going EA was super helpful. If you need to miss a school assignment or 2, you can make that up. Sometimes to have to have to wager your present for the sake of your future. This process can really suck at times but it’s manageable in the end.

2024.05.14 19:59 Weekly_Travel_6624 Annoyed
Very annoyed. App said driver approximately 3 minutes away so i coordinated my trip timing based off of that. Once it found me a driver he was super far away and took about 15 minutes to arrive. the trip was overall about 10+ minutes behind than what was estimated and this costed me to be late and penalized for the tardiness. No help or understanding if offered through the apps “help.” very very annoyed and i could do nothing about it.

2024.05.14 19:59 jrad2point0 Overdrives with a boost built in, for people who already have clean boosts
Hey gang. I'm looking at finally getting one of those EAE Limelight pedals since it seems to be my ideal bluesbreaker type sound. One side of the pedal is a 20db clean boost, but I already have a Benson Germanium Boost on my board. I suspect I'd enjoy my Benson boost more than what's built in to the Limelight (it plays SUPER nice with fuzz, for one) , but the potential redundancy is giving me a bit of pause on ordering.
It seems like a decent amount of drive pedals are coming out nowadays with boosts built into them and I can't be the first person who's run into something like this. Any thoughts from the hivemind here?

2024.05.14 19:57 sopapilllaaa Bought a fully remodeled house - now spending over $10K in repairs
For context, we are located in Texas:
My husband and I purchased a home a little over a year ago. The house is an older build (around the 1960’s) and was fully taken down to the studs and remodeled. We purchased the home after it was remodeled, so we did not own the property before the rebuild nor selected the builder who managed the construction.
We toured the home just before construction was complete, and looking back, I realize that this could have been an opportunity to bring a third party to assess the build. We were really optimistic about the home and ended up purchasing the house. When we moved in, we began noticing a significant number of issues. Doors were not seated in the door frames appropriately, so they would not open. When a rainstorm came through, water would leak from the door frames and started to cause water damage to our wood laminate flooring. We had issues with the AC (which was a new unit), issues with plumbing, and now, leaks in our garage and upstairs patio porch.
Every time we noticed something, we informed the builder and he’d send someone out to do the repair, but found that they were usually rushed, patch-up jobs. As we got closer to our 1-year warranty, the builder was almost impossible to reach and once we hit our 1-year mark, he would respond with “sorry, it’s been over a year and I can do no more repairs” - even though we gave him significant notice.
We’re currently repairing the garage and what we thought would be one side of the garage needing wood repair is actually a total garage remodel. All of the wood framing on the roof is rotten and you can see where the builder just added patches of new wood rather than replacing all the rotted wood. We also have found out that the wood used for the door frames in the exterior are interior wood (untreated), which explains why the frames rotted out within less than a year. All this to say, we’re having to spend a significant amount of money to repair the problems we can see. What I’m terrified about is what we can’t see (framing of the house, etc) and potentially how long it will be before it becomes an issue.
For what we ARE aware of, do we have any recourse in suing the builder for the quality of the build and the costs we have to incur to fix everything? TYIA!

I would like to sell various unused boards that will never see use, all price for less than what I paid to buy them new (or second hand in case of the 910).
Postage not included, willing to ship worldwide (estimated ~£20 to Europe, ~£45 to North America). Pay via PayPal Goods & Services, in £ GBP. I've provided conversions to USD for convenience, but please note postage would add to these numbers.
One brand new solder PCB is included, not in an anti-static bag but tested and working. Default PC plate and one extra POM plate. I did not receieve a Monokei cleaning cloth when I bought it. Some tiny scuffs to the anodisation of the bottom case (see photo album above), but all of these marks are impossible to see once built. It is in externally perfect condition, hence "almost perfect."
I purchased this as "B+ stock" from Mekibo but the only damage is some very, very, very slight discolouration to the copper weight on the bottom that's only visible under direct light and is invisible in normal use. All parts are still in their plastic.
Brand new in box, A stock. All parts present and in perfect condition. Sale price is already less than my GB cost!

2024.05.14 19:53 freaknasta Roof Leak Caused by siding company not caulking scaffold anchor points. How much should I expect?
Siding was replaced a few months ago
It rained last night, and water began dripping from a ceiling vent. I also noticed that it yellow (meaning it had been happening). I went up into the attic. A few of the decking board were wet and were dripping. Insulation was also wet.
Thinking it was my roof, my roofing company came out. They showed me that there were holes on four sections of the roof where a scaffold had been anchored at one point but had not been caulked afterwards.
What’s reasonable to ask the siding company for?
Replacement of the shingles, replacement of the decking and shingles, drywall, insulation, etc?
Should I be worried that the decking, which could have been getting wet for the last 4 months, was compromised?
What’s reasonable here?
Thanks.

2024.05.14 19:53 leadraine this is the most important election of our lives
whether you like swampland drainage projects or fear the color orange, we can all agree that this coming election is easily the most important election of our lives
no effort should be spared and no monetary cost is too high when it comes to preparing for this election, and you should be proud as an American to play a vital role in the defense of democracy
this is why i'm pleased to announce that as an authentic registered Indepenent Voter, a critical and key swing voter required for victory, i am officially taking donations and hearing arguments from lobbyists on both sides prior to the 2024 presidential election
unfortunately and regrettably i can only spare my valuable time for those with donations equal or in excess to USD $10,000.00 thanks

(CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) has successfully concluded the Binding Option Agreement with Sun Silver Limited, resulting in the transfer of ownership of the Maverick Springs Project to Sun Silver. This achievement marks a significant step in Element79 Gold Corp.’s ongoing strategy to enhance shareholder value through judicious asset management and partnerships. https://preview.redd.it/zk34dwj5kf0d1.jpg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd001130b89e4f1d54f1a50f0ed0d830d82dfdef About Element79 Element79 Gold (CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS), a mining entity focused on gold and silver, is strategically positioning itself for significant operational advancements. The company is on track to recommence production at its Lucero project in Arequipa, Peru, targeting a restart by 2024. Lucero, known for its high-grade deposits, stands as a cornerstone in Element79 Gold’s portfolio. In addition to its developments in Peru, Element79 Gold holds an impressive suite of assets along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada. This includes the promising Clover and West Whistler projects, which show potential for rapid resource development. Notably, three properties within this portfolio are poised for sale to Valdo Minerals Ltd., with the transaction expected to be finalized in the first half of 2024. Expanding its geographical footprint, Element79 Gold is also making strides in British Columbia. The company has initiated a drilling program and signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a private company holding an option for 100% interest in the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project. This project comprises 10 mineral claims located strategically near Fort St. James, reinforcing the company’s asset base in central British Columbia. Further enhancing its asset management strategy, Element79 Gold has moved its Dale Property, located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, into a spin-out process through its wholly owned subsidiary, Synergy Metals Corp. This strategic realignment is aimed at maximizing shareholder value through efficient asset utilization and focused corporate structuring. https://preview.redd.it/322fq3b6kf0d1.jpg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44a5d444b3a9b38587cdc29df877f32629682c9b Highlights of Element79 Gold’s Strategic Developments Since its acquisition in 2021, Element79 Gold has diligently advanced the Maverick Springs project, culminating in an updated 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimation of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq). In pursuit of strategic partnerships to further develop Maverick Springs, Element79 Gold’s management successfully negotiated and entered into a Binding Option Agreement with Sun Silver in August 2023. This pivotal move aligns with the company’s strategic focus on the high-grade Lucero Project in Peru, which boasts near-term production potential. The transaction with Sun Silver not only shifts the company’s focus but also realizes significant value for Maverick Springs. Originally acquired and carried at CAD $3.337 million, the project was sold for CAD $5.033 million, reflecting an impressive return on investment of 51% within 28 months. The sale generated substantial financial gains for Element79 Gold, amounting to CAD $4,400,000 in cash and 3,500,000 ordinary shares in Sun Silver, valued at AUD $0.20 per share (fair market value of AUD $700,000). These shares are anticipated to be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange around May 15, 2024. A portion of the proceeds, CAD $2,200,000, will be allocated to settle the loan tied to the Waterton Contingent Value Rights Agreement. The remaining funds will be strategically used to further the development of other corporate projects and operations, reducing both capital debt and accounts payable. This strategic financial management underscores Element79 Gold’s commitment to optimizing its asset portfolio and enhancing shareholder value in the competitive mining sector. Key Financial Highlights
James Tworek, CEO of Element 79 Gold Corp https://preview.redd.it/1o7n5p47kf0d1.jpg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf1a435e163dc9358b2f0169f1dff88449df0129 Collaboration with Artisanal Miners at Element79 Gold Element79 Gold (CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) has actively engaged with local artisanal miners in Lomas Doradas to promote sustainable mining practices and community collaboration. In April, the company’s community relations team organized a significant meeting aimed at enhancing mutual support and establishing a formal collaboration for mineral extraction and ore sale processes. During this meeting, Element79 Gold presented draft contracts proposing 10-year surface access rights for exploration at the Lucero mine site, alongside similar access for local miners in designated areas. These agreements were intended to unify efforts and optimize ore market pricing, with the goal of creating mutual economic benefits. A critical follow-up meeting was held in Chachas on April 28th, where the community voted on these initiatives. This gathering aimed to solidify the partnership between Element79 Gold and the artisanal miners, moving towards formalizing their cooperative relationship and ensuring continued updates on the initiative’s progress. Conclusion Element79 Gold (CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) is exemplifying strategic acumen and operational dexterity across its diverse portfolio. By actively managing its assets from the Lucero project in Peru to strategic ventures across Nevada and British Columbia, the company is effectively balancing exploration potential with financial stability. The successful negotiation and sale of the Maverick Springs project, alongside collaborative engagements like those with the artisanal miners of Lomas Doradas, highlight Element79 Gold’s commitment to ethical practices and community involvement. |

2024.05.14 19:51 __Calm Company won’t pay for returns cost of misadvertised product
I recently purchased a table from daals (https://www.daals.co.uk/products/maru-round-4-6-seater-extending-oak-pedestal-dining-table-oak)
Short story:
Company misadvertised the colour of the table in my opinion and it has turned up in two shades with one much darker than the pictures online. They won’t cover the cost of return and we’re looking at a £95 return cost for the two heavy boxes it comes in. Their support team have been useless.
Long story:
The photographs on the website make the table look like a light natural shade of wood. When the table arrived it was flat packed in two boxes and half of the pieces matched the images but half of them (including the table top) were a darker more orange colour. Not what we wanted.
I wrote back to the company expecting a pretty straight forward returns process but their support team were adamant that the product had not been misadvertised and that it was just a change of mind for us. I sent pictures with side by side shots of the different coloured parts that clearly showed the differences.
Everyone I have shown the different colours of the pieces to thinks it’s so obvious it isn't right and my friend who was a carpenter was convinced they'd sent parts from two separate tables.
Given the item doesn’t mention anywhere that the table comes in two colours and I followed the process for ‘Item not as described or advertised’ on their returns page (daals.co.uk/pages/returns-policy) I felt it was going to be straightforward.
After making no progress with their tactless and unhelpful support team is their anything I can do? Or does anyone know a specific ombudsman that can assist? It’s not a life changing amount of money but I know they can literally swoop in and pick the table up as they’ll be delivering stuff to people in my area every other day. The table itself has great reviews which might not be helping the situation either
Any help or recommendations appreciated.

The first step in RE is to estimate your expenses properly over a long time with actual data. I see people only estimating common monthly expenses like food, rent, bus, car, etc but ignoring those that occur occasionally. Here is a sample list for 2-adults aged 50 in a big city (Chennai/Hyd/Blore, etc) where occasional long term expenses like cascootelaptop/TV/travel/medical etc that happen only once in a few years are annualized. It is always better to overestimate health expenses. Also, regular monthly medicines can be very expensive (you may not need them now, but if diagnosed later after retirement for BP/Sugaetc, expect to spend around 10k pm). Also, dental and eye surgery are costly sometimes and not covered by insurance. You can replace rent with own house expenses (like repairs, plumbing, costly painting, house tax, etc. and annualize the cost), add kids schooling, etc. And always better to overestimate everything by 20%. Please comment on what you think. If you can make a similar list with your actual expenses, please share. |

(CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS) has successfully concluded the Binding Option Agreement with Sun Silver Limited, resulting in the transfer of ownership of the Maverick Springs Project to Sun Silver. This achievement marks a significant step in Element79 Gold Corp.’s ongoing strategy to enhance shareholder value through judicious asset management and partnerships. https://preview.redd.it/8vwq5cfwjf0d1.jpg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41130fe0637a273a353f07f8915baeb40263edb4 About Element79 Element79 Gold (CSE: ELEM) (OTC: ELMGF) (FSE: 7YS), a mining entity focused on gold and silver, is strategically positioning itself for significant operational advancements. The company is on track to recommence production at its Lucero project in Arequipa, Peru, targeting a restart by 2024. Lucero, known for its high-grade deposits, stands as a cornerstone in Element79 Gold’s portfolio. In addition to its developments in Peru, Element79 Gold holds an impressive suite of assets along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada. This includes the promising Clover and West Whistler projects, which show potential for rapid resource development. Notably, three properties within this portfolio are poised for sale to Valdo Minerals Ltd., with the transaction expected to be finalized in the first half of 2024. Expanding its geographical footprint, Element79 Gold is also making strides in British Columbia. The company has initiated a drilling program and signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a private company holding an option for 100% interest in the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project. This project comprises 10 mineral claims located strategically near Fort St. James, reinforcing the company’s asset base in central British Columbia. Further enhancing its asset management strategy, Element79 Gold has moved its Dale Property, located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, into a spin-out process through its wholly owned subsidiary, Synergy Metals Corp. This strategic realignment is aimed at maximizing shareholder value through efficient asset utilization and focused corporate structuring. https://preview.redd.it/kg9kr14xjf0d1.jpg?width=982&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8178d708b717b5a747cd4659ddc005e0456ea48 Highlights of Element79 Gold’s Strategic Developments Since its acquisition in 2021, Element79 Gold has diligently advanced the Maverick Springs project, culminating in an updated 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimation of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq). In pursuit of strategic partnerships to further develop Maverick Springs, Element79 Gold’s management successfully negotiated and entered into a Binding Option Agreement with Sun Silver in August 2023. This pivotal move aligns with the company’s strategic focus on the high-grade Lucero Project in Peru, which boasts near-term production potential. The transaction with Sun Silver not only shifts the company’s focus but also realizes significant value for Maverick Springs. Originally acquired and carried at CAD $3.337 million, the project was sold for CAD $5.033 million, reflecting an impressive return on investment of 51% within 28 months. The sale generated substantial financial gains for Element79 Gold, amounting to CAD $4,400,000 in cash and 3,500,000 ordinary shares in Sun Silver, valued at AUD $0.20 per share (fair market value of AUD $700,000). These shares are anticipated to be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange around May 15, 2024. A portion of the proceeds, CAD $2,200,000, will be allocated to settle the loan tied to the Waterton Contingent Value Rights Agreement. The remaining funds will be strategically used to further the development of other corporate projects and operations, reducing both capital debt and accounts payable.

2024.05.14 19:48 Proud-Attention-7634 Woke up to horrible tooth pain. Turns out my impacted wisdom tooth got a huge cavity.
My impacted wisdom tooth is located at the top, hidden in the deepest part of my teeth, and I just found out that it has a monster cavity. At first, I thought the pain was only due to another broken tooth that is close to it, so I didn't expect that the cavity in my impacted wisdom tooth was the one causing the pain. I hadn't experienced any problems with it for over 10 years, until yesterday when the pain awoke me from my sleep. Now, I don't know what to do. I have some very bad teeth, but I'm slowly starting to remove all of them. Just a little over a month ago, I had my bottom-left molars extracted, and managing the antibiotics along with my other medications was very difficult because I also have GERD and IBS as well as an anxiety disorder. The side effects from antibiotics caused terrible bouts of acid reflux. Additionally, it's worsening my anxiety even more because I'm completely broke, and I wouldn't be able to afford oral surgery. Wisdom tooth extraction apparently costs more than double the price of a regular extraction and I was just barely able to afford my molar extractions a month ago. I'm a NEET, and I live in a third-world country, and have been dealing with my health complications from GERD for almost 5 years which has caused me to become a shut in at this point. I guess I'm fucked. Big time.

2024.05.14 19:45 wlady4000 Why us so had to save money and achieve financial freedom and how to overcome it
Saving money and achieving financial freedom can indeed be challenging due to various factors, but understanding these hurdles and implementing strategies to overcome them can pave the way towards financial success.
submitted by wlady4000 to u/wlady4000 [link] [comments]
- Lack of Financial Literacy: Many people struggle with managing their finances simply because they lack the necessary knowledge about budgeting, investing, and saving. Without a solid understanding of financial principles, it's easy to fall into patterns of overspending and debt. Overcoming: Educate yourself about personal finance through books, online resources, or even financial literacy courses. Understanding basic concepts like budgeting, compound interest, and investment strategies can empower you to make informed decisions about your money.
- Living Beyond Means: In today's consumer-driven culture, there's often pressure to keep up with the latest trends and maintain a certain lifestyle, even if it means spending more than you earn. This mentality leads to excessive spending and makes it difficult to save. Overcoming: Practice living below your means by creating a budget that prioritizes saving and investing over unnecessary expenses. Differentiate between needs and wants, and be mindful of your spending habits. Focus on long-term financial goals rather than short-term gratification.
- High Cost of Living: Rising expenses such as housing, healthcare, and education can eat into your income, leaving little room for saving and investing. Overcoming: Explore ways to reduce your living expenses, such as downsizing to a smaller home, renegotiating bills, or finding cheaper alternatives for necessities. Consider relocating to areas with lower costs of living if feasible. Additionally, look for ways to increase your income through side hustles or advancing your career.
- Debt Burden: Debt, especially high-interest consumer debt like credit card balances, can significantly impede your ability to save and invest for the future. Paying off debt often takes precedence over saving, leading to a cycle of financial stress. Overcoming: Prioritize debt repayment by adopting strategies like the debt snowball or debt avalanche method. Cut discretionary spending and allocate the savings towards paying off debt faster. Consider consolidating high-interest debt or negotiating with creditors for lower interest rates.
- Lack of Discipline: Saving money requires discipline and self-control, which can be challenging in a world filled with temptations and instant gratification. Impulse purchases and lifestyle inflation can derail your savings goals. Overcoming: Develop good financial habits by automating your savings and investments, setting up separate accounts for different financial goals, and tracking your spending regularly. Create barriers to impulse spending, such as implementing a waiting period before making non-essential purchases. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who share similar financial goals.
- Unexpected Expenses and Emergencies: Financial setbacks like medical emergencies, car repairs, or job loss can derail your savings progress and force you to dip into your savings or accumulate debt. Overcoming: Build an emergency fund to cover 3-6 months' worth of living expenses, so you're prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Make regular contributions to this fund until you reach your target amount. Consider purchasing insurance policies like health insurance, car insurance, and disability insurance to mitigate the financial impact of unexpected events.
- Psychological Barriers: Deep-seated beliefs and emotions about money inherited from childhood or past experiences can influence your financial behavior. Fear of failure, scarcity mindset, or feelings of unworthiness can sabotage your efforts to save and invest. Overcoming: Practice mindfulness and self-awareness to identify and challenge limiting beliefs about money. Cultivate a positive money mindset by focusing on abundance rather than scarcity. Surround yourself with positive influences and seek support from a financial advisor or therapist if necessary.
2024.05.14 19:43 demongman7 Thoughts on this board?
 | Wondering what everyone thinks of this board as a progression. Dims are 7’6” x 22” x 3”. Have been surfing a wave storm for ~3 years inconsistently, and looking to upgrade. I can catch 90% of the waves I go for, comfortable up to 4-6ft (Surfline estimate), and trim the line both left and right. Not really doing any fancy turns but starting to experiment, find the wave storm clunky compared to a few boards I’ve rented. submitted by demongman7 to BeginnerSurfers [link] [comments] Price listed is $300, I surf mostly in the northeast US. Thanks for reading! |
2024.05.14 19:42 sirspike345 Pre-workout creations on a budget
As I have used several different pre-workouts I noticed quite a few various ingredients, different serving sizes, and the biggest piece additions for various pre-workouts. It's absolutely crazy to see.
I've made my own pre-workout and the biggest cost isn't all the ingredients, it's the water flavoring. Having the "correct" or estimated correct dosage of creatine, beta alanine, betaine anhydrous, L citruline malate, and caffiene means I know exactly what is going in my body and cheaper than the properietary blends that all these other pre-workouts have.
For $123 I get 196 servings before I would need to order anything else (for only those 5 ingredients, not water flavoring, stevia, or anything else that might make you feel good). And I would still have a lot of extra stuff left over, but 196 servings is when I'd run out of 2 of the 5 ingredients.
Buying the two 4 packs of powder capsules, stevia for sweetness, water flavoring packets, for 196 servings would be 213 bucks. And that means there is going to be left over stevia, re-usable powder capsules, and 3 of the 5 left over other supplements meaning that price significicantly drops.
$210 would get some one about 7 bottles of pre workout at about 30 servings a piece. But after that, you're stuck/lost and need to buy yet another bottle. I'd rather spend $213 on the items I shared + then you only pay less as time goes on. You never upfront pay for $210 again. The most you'd pay for a single item would be replacing the creatine for $34 for 200 servings of 5 grams a piece instead of the average 1.7-3.3 grams you see in a preworkout you just bought for $30 bucks.
I'm sure I am preaching to the choir, but if you choose which ingredients you want and the quality is close to "good"/"great", why not add more, pay a bit more and get exactly what you want and continue your quality of your health, workouts, and bedroom? (Taurine, horny goat weed, Tribulus Terrestris, maca root, chaga mushroom, Ashwagandha root, etc)

2024.05.14 19:38 Party-Entrepreneur61 5 years in niche PQS roles. Severe imposter syndrome due to large skill gaps. Would going to a MC work?
I’ve been with the same consultancy since finishing uni and have had non-traditional PQS roles in this time, mainly doing commercial assurance and contract admin. As a result, I am pretty good with NEC contracts, but I have almost no procurement or cost planning / estimating experience. I’ve been fortunate in getting on with people at work and I’ve been promoted to Associate.
I feel like I am losing my mind though due to the skill gaps and feel absolutely unemployable. I’ve started another commission and it’s going to be pure contract management, no procurement or cost planning again.
I also much prefer to have a focused objective and be busy, but for a long time now it’s just schmoozing and I am not well suited to this.
I love the thought of working for a main contractor and really becoming an expert in your package(s) but I would want to go in under someone who I can learn from as everything up until now has been self taught and this has also lead to tons of anxiety.
Am I literally going to have to start again as an assistant to get the experience and confidence I need to continue a career in the industry?
I don’t mind taking a pay cut, but don’t fancy halving my wage.
Any advice?

2024.05.14 19:37 pheebaroo Drink package discounts onboard
Hi! I just got back from an absolutely wonderful Alaskan cruise on the Solstice. It's a shame solo cruising costs so much because I really do think it's the perfect vacation to take by yourself. Anyways! I had debated buying a drink package for a long time, almost bought it when it got discounted to 50% off a couple weeks prior to sailing, but ultimately held off. Then, as soon as I boarded and ordered my first drink, the waitress told me that both classic and premium packages were 50% off and the offer was only going to be available that day. So, I gave in. (Super happy I did, btw! Between the wine at dinner, the drinks after dinner, the occasional soda, water bottles, and lattes I think I got my money's worth!) My question is: is this a common promo? Are drink packages always discounted on the first day of the cruise?

2024.05.14 19:34 SatisfactionOk8382 5 weeks post op keyhole w/ Dra. Brasó
 | I'm 5 weeks post op today 🥳 Still have quite a bit of swelling and some skin to tighten up but things are gradually starting to settle. Either way, feeling great :)) submitted by SatisfactionOk8382 to Top_Surgery_Peri [link] [comments] For those of you looking for info, I thought I'd do a wee recap of my experience. I had keyhole surgery plus lipo of my flanks on 9th April with Dra. Cristina Brasó in Barcelona. I'll list the main surgery prices here- Mastectomy without lipo filling: €5750 Compression garments: €150 Flanks lipo: €1320 First things first, Dra. Brasó is a fantastic surgeon. Very kind and lovely to talk to and very skilled. I'm super impressed with all of the results that I've seen from her as well as my own. I believe she has some experience with DI too, but as far as I'm aware she specialises in keyhole, which she is very good at. She's got plenty of examples on her instagram @dra_braso and if you speak to her receptionists, they can send you other examples too which is super helpful. Overall I had a fantastic experience. They're generally quick to respond via email, although their response times could be a bit on and off over WhatsApp (sometimes they'll respond within the minute, other times no one will respond for days until I send a follow up message). It was super quick to get a consultation with her and almost no wait time for surgery. I think I first messaged them start of December, had a consultation mid January, and then booked in for surgery for April (although they offered much earlier but April suited me better). The receptionist team are all super lovely and friendly, and most of them speak very good English so I didn't have much trouble communicating with them. I also had several post op appointments with their physical therapist Gemma, who spoke almost no English but she was lovely too. Generally, most of the main hospital staff didn't speak English but some did, and Google translate did the job for everyone else. Everyone was very accommodating. I flew over to Spain a couple days before my operation for the sake of pre-ops. The day before surgery, I went into their office to sign the consent forms and they gave me a prescription for medicines I would need to buy (which cost me about €120 total at the pharmacy) as well as pre-surgery instructions and where to go on the day. They then showed me where to go in the hospital for my pre-op tests. I had a pre-op ultrasound there, because I couldn't get it in the UK. The ultrasound cost me €102. All of my other pre-op tests they asked if I could get done in the UK before I arrived in Spain, which I did (although make sure to ask for coagulation results from your blood test, because my GP didn't send me these and I had to get another last minute blood test in Barcelona). If you have free healthcare in your country I would recommend doing the same otherwise you will have to pay for the pre op tests in Spain. Everything went smoothly on the day of surgery. I was originally booked in for 12pm, it was delayed by an hour but no biggy - it's not like I had other plans lol. One thing I wasn't expecting in the day of the surgery is they wheeled me into the operating room and gave me the anaesthetic there. This was my first surgery and I was under the impression that I would be given anaesthetic in a different room and then taken to the operating room while unconscious. I don't know what's common practice, but luckily I'd gotten over my fear of surgery beforehand and was feeling super chill on the day, otherwise I can imagine that would have freaked me out. After surgery I was allowed one person to stay the night in my room. I had to stay overnight in the hospital and then was discharged some time in the afternoon the next day, after they had removed my drains. The drains only stayed in for about 24h while I was still in the hospital and taken out before I left, which surprised me. Maybe they would send you home with them if you had more fluid but I'm not sure. Think I was pretty dry lol. Generally the first day was mostly painless because of the anaesthetic. The only pain I had was mega back pain from lying in my back for like 20 hours straight. This has been my main cause of pain every day until I could sleep on my side again. It was pretty rough when the anaesthetic wore off but mostly when I was changing positions, and mostly due to the lipo in my hips - that shit hurt. I would've probably felt fine if it was just the mastectomy. Either way, I was relatively pain free by the one week mark. I had 6 daily post-op appointments after the surgery, all about 30 mins each. The first 3 were chest massages for lymphatic drainage. Then the last 3 were radio frequency which I believe is for skin tightening. I was cleared to shower 3 days after surgery so I wasn't stinky for long! The stitches I had are dissolvable so I didn't have to get stitches taken out either. I wasn't allowed to fly back until 10 days after surgery, bc of risk of blood clots from pressure changes. I was told to the keep my compression garments on 24/7 for 4 weeks. I still wear my compression vest most of the time, minus a few hours at the end of the day just to help the skin tighten bc I have a bit of loose skin. In summary, Brasó was fab, her team was fab, the prices are fab, my results are fab. Super grateful for this experience. 10/10 would recommend. I hope this helps anyone who's considering getting surgery with Brasó. Tried my best to give a thorough run down of everything but please do comment or dm me if you have any questions. Best of luck to all the surgeon hunters out there! |
