2024.05.29 05:55 Treasures-Untold Starting my new job tomorrow wish me luck.

I’m not really starting a “new job” I’m just transferring to a different building. I’m working with people who have already been around me before, but I’m working with new people who haven’t been around me.. I’m kinda nervous, kinda scared. My smell is “fecal” and I read a bunch of posts on here that say it has to do with colon, and fiber and also possibly oral/nasal health. So I’m gonna explore all my options and see what works for me. I’m looking at this job transfer as a “fresh start” and I wanna leave behind any worries/drama/issues of the past.. and work on self love. I got into an abusive relationship due to low self esteem from this “odor issue” and I stayed because it was all I felt I “deserved” as someone who smells bad. Idk if anyone else is at this point in their lives but if you are, just know you’re not alone. Never too late to start over and keep trying. I’m tired of feeling sorry for myself, or apologizing for smelling bad. Or being embarrassed or ashamed. It’s not my fault, I didn’t ask for this and I didn’t do it to myself. I’m rambling at this point so I’m gonna go lol but just know my DMs are always open. And we deserve more than abusive relationships.

2024.05.29 05:51 Thats_pretty_gnarly Question about changing call in list

So I'm recently hired as a letter carrier pending training and I was wondering if I'm allowed immediately after training to request to change my call-in list to my hometown post office, I applied to one 15 minutes away just so I was able to get in and get the job as it had opening. But I'm worried Is it possible to get into trouble and and make them mad by ​requesting to change my call-in list just for my hometown and make ​it my homebase? Lastly, is it a guarantee to be transferred to a preferred calling list location? How long does it take to be approved?

2024.05.29 05:29 michellellamas Should I help my fiance financially even though my finances have been affected because of him

I (31 F) and my fiance (30 M) have been together for 11 years out of which we been living together for 9.5 years. For most of our relationship he has been the one making the most money and there were long periods of times where I was without a job and he supported us. I always showed my love and support by doing most of the house chores and attending to his needs to the point of even getting up at 5 am to make him breakfast and iron his shirts. And whenever I had any money I always gave it to him for bills. When I finally got a stable minimum wage job we started dividing the house bills but I kept doing most of the house chores. I would always save up as much as I could and he would always ask me to borrow the money for some stock or crypto coin he wanted to invest in. Most of the time all of that money was gone by the end of the month and he always got into debt trying to flip some money around dreaming of becoming rich with a click. For some reason he was always able to make money for his friends (one of his friends was able to buy a house thanks to him) but he just seemed to fail at making us money. That was until 2019, apparently in 2019 he was able to flip some crypto and had over 300,000 usd worth on crypto coins. He only had access to this coins on the only computer we owned. In 2020 I was talking some coding courses because I am sick and tired of working minimum wage jobs, but unfortunately I needed a computer as clases were all virtual so I had to use the only computer we owned. One of the courses required me to use a system that was not compatible with the computer system we had so I tried to update it and the computer crashed. We lost everything we had in the computer including the 300k.
After this incident I felt so guilty and I wanted to pay it back although I know on my minimum wage job I’ll never be able to. So my fiance had the great idea to create his own crypto project. To be honest I never believed in it but he was so pushy and guilt trip me into it so I ended up taking a 25k loan believing he would be able to repay it back as he swore and promised he knew what he was doing and he was gonna make us back that money and then some. I agreed and had no idea that he himself had also gotten himself on a 30k+ debt for this project.
So the project never worked out, some people invested but it was not even enough to pay promoters. For the past 3 years all of our money is been going to debts and we barely made an indent in it as the majority of the money goes to interest. I worked 2 jobs for 6 months and was only able to pay 1k of my debt. Had to quit one job because I was starting to get sick.
This year I had enough and I filed for consumer proposal. It’s only been a month and I already have 700 saved up. I feel such relief and I’m planning on getting a security license as the IT sector is overtaken by Indians and is a job in demand. My fiance also wants to do it but he wants me to pay for his as hi still has all the debt he got himself into and barely has any money for bills. Every time we have money disagreements he blames them on me as I was the one who broke the computer and he claims if he would of still had that money he would never had started the project (the project was his new idea of becoming rich ).
So now I just feel like I have gone through enough hardship for the 300k I “lost” him and I should only be responsible for paying half of the house bills. But at the same time I do love my fiance and feel the obligation to help him financially.

2024.05.29 05:29 Zucchini-Kitchen Owen never standing up for Amelia

I'm a first time watcher and currently on 14×02, so be aware of spoilers
Owen just about never stands up for the person who he should, and I feel like it becomes so apparent when Teddy and Megan and his mom all talk to him about divorcing Amelia and he just goes with it.
Like I know Owen and Amelia's marriage has problems(shouldn't have ever happened) and that yes they were on their way to a divorce but the way that teddy and Megan jump on hating Amelia after knowing her for what, a week?
Is teddy forgetting that Amelia is the one who called and tried to get Megan transferred to Grey Sloan and talked about coming to meet her because Owen physically couldn't? Or the fact that Amelia drove Owen to meet Megan, held him and helped him process, etc?
And Megan and Evelyn are so quick to be like "oh she's not here and she should be supporting you and meeting Megan blah blah blah". Like there was an explosion, she is doing her job? And I'm sorry (I know it's not Owens story to tell) her brother died too??? And she knows that she will never ever get the call that he's alive. Like the therapist was telling Meredith, there is a big difference between dead dead and presumed dead. So she's upset and probably jealous, and idk maybe giving them time to get reacquainted because it's been literally a decade and she knows it isn't her place yet? And then Owen has the NERVE (avid Owen hater if you can't tell) to go to Amelia and say shit like "AA isn't working and blah blah blah" and Amelia was entirely right to go off on him about how Teddy and Megan are back in his life and suddenly it's Amelia who has issues. Yes, she has had problems and yeah she has a brain tumor but seriously Owen? And THEN he yells at her when she texts him to come talk because she has a tumor? And he has the nerve again to try to be all husband trying to tuck her into the hospital bed and what not like he wasn't saying her AA wasn't working a week ago.
I can understand how everything blended together. How he was shocked and had to process everything. But he seriously treated Amelia like shit, especially during this whole thing. Amelia didn't deserve that.
Granted I haven't even gotten close to finishing this storyline so idk if he will change his attitude (doubt it) but I just couldn't believe him these past couple episodes

2024.05.29 05:16 myscourceofsmalltalk Is it possible for a 401k to be an IRA?

Hiiii, so another newbie going crazy trying to start my journey of wealth haha. I’ve been going down these thread-rabbit holes learning things a woman is intimidated by - asking a man or simply just being vulnerable for wanting to know more. (pls don’t label me sexist, it’s just a man’s world 🤷🏾‍♀️)
I’ll eventually dive into my later learned insecurities but my biggest question as of now is related to my old 401k that’s been sitting for approx 7 years, I think. I started it when I was 18/19 but only worked for the company for a year. It’s pretty measly, but collecting a little something over the years. I can’t really complain.
I keep wondering what are my options for it and I’m hoping this one can work. I’m aware of the penalties for certain withdrawals, but would transferring an inactive 401k into a newly opened IRA be considered, a penalty? I’m hoping I can use it as a first deposit into an IRA instead of conjoining it with my current 401k I recently started with my new company.
Side note: I tried transferring it when I first got my job but it required some extra steps to get an approval and… sadly, I never got to it. :/

2024.05.29 05:08 Neither_Safety_596 80 feet or ~90% of plumbing changed from cast iron to pvc. Need expert advice please.

80 feet or ~90% of plumbing changed from cast iron to pvc. Need expert advice please.
80 feet or ~90% of plumbing replaced during inspection period… Should we be concerned with: 1. Plumbing work? and 2. Foundation?
I’m in contract for a FL purchase (~1700 sq ft), but within the inspection period they were having clothes washing machine drainage issues. The plumbers removed about 80 feet or about 90% of the old cast iron plumbing that was corroded and replaced it with pvc plumbing (everything except for the ~5 feet encased in concrete x 3 sections). They mentioned these 3 sections are okay, however the plumber I hired to inspect says 100% of the plumbing should be replaced within his report.
They tunneled from the outside by the sink, digging down about 4-5 feet. They cut about 3x3 of concrete and pulled up a 5-6 foot tall pile of dirt. They did this without permits due to the urgency of the back-flow and extent of corrosion in the plumbing. They intend on replacing the dirt back in place when the job is complete.
The plumber mentioned they “worked in small sections, staying away from the corners, and used shoring inside the hole. They’re reusing original fill and compacting with water and tamping.” They’re also providing a 2 year transferable warranty.
There are 2 main concerns which I’d love to get your expert advice or recommendations on:
  1. Are the 3 cast iron pipe sections that are encased in concrete less likely to be corroded? Someone recommended a middle ground of “pipelining” those concrete encased sections to avoid breaking tiles from inside to do the work. Is that a viable option?
  2. How concerned should we be with the plumber just replacing the fill underneath? Should we hire a structural engineer to inspect the foundation? Keeping in mind that the work is being done without permits.
Thank you so much.

2024.05.29 05:07 Redstrone I don’t know what to do about college

I had been rejected or waitlisted from most of all the colleges I had applied to so I had decided that I would go to a state school and get some general education done through chemistry and then transfer to Cal Poly to go into Biochemical Engineering after 2 years so I could save money. And by me staying g where I live, I can accumulate some money for when I go to where I don’t live and have no connections to. I’d like to have some money and I want to train for a bike race and the Boston marathon which I can do in Fresno (where I live). A few days ago I was accepted into the University of Tennessee but I have already registered and made a plan to save money and go into the college I want to go into most (Cal Poly). However, my parents are pretty mad at me because they would rather I go to Tennessee and just do all my years there versus “gamble” on a transfer. They don’t really see a CSU school as prestigious and would be super mad if I went to community. I have some family near Knoxville so I wouldn’t be completely destitute but I’d have no friends, connections, job, girlfriend nearby, and I couldn’t train cycling like I do now. I’m not sure if saving money via CSU is the best choice now and I still have time to decide. I want to know if maybe a relationship is blinding me from a great opportunity or if my plan is fiscally responsible and transferring is a good idea.

2024.05.29 04:25 Horror-Market4883 Is transferring from another universities a viable option?

I'm debating on whether or not I should go to TMU or Queens for computer engineering. I want to transfer to UW or U of T after the first year. I have a couple of questions that might help me decide.
  1. Is there a point in even transferring to those unis? I just want to secure a good job after grad so will there be a huge difference in pay if I did co-op at UW/U of T vs Queens or TMU?
  2. Since Queens reputation is more renowned, Would more credits from Queens be transferable than TMU? If so by how much since I need to pay res if I go to queens
  3. Lastly, What avg would give me a good chance of them accepting my transfer request?
Honestly its a very specific post so ik alot of ppl wont have answers but just thought I would get more input before asking the admissions offices

2024.05.29 04:21 Idahovicky Was asked to resign.

Today after school, I was asked by the principal to put in my resignation and he would give me a good recommendation. He said if I did not resign, he would not renew my contract. I was not aware I was on a contract, but that is beside the point.
I have been with the district for in Lifeskills for 5 years. this is my first year at my current school with a brand new 22-year-old baby teacher with control issues. She has butted heads with every single staff member and has admitted she is very sensitive and is always looking for ways to be offended. I am non-confrontational and it has been difficult for me. she and I have figured out a way to get along and things have been great for the last half of the year. I give 100% to my job and I am always willing to help her. I frequently go out of my way to help and she tells me how thankful she is. Which is why I was blindsided today when I was called in with another Lifeskills para and we were both told that we needed to resign or face termination. The reason he gave was personality conflict. He did not mention any other issue. He did admit that the last half of the school year has been great with my class, but he’s looking at the year as a whole. It just doesn’t make sense to me his reason. Especially considering that Lifeskills is a difficult classroom to staff.
with that said, do I resign and get the recommendation? My principal assures me I could get another job in the same school district, but that seems crazy to me that I would resign and then immediately apply for a position? I’m not sure why he did not offer to transfer me to another school. why does he want me to resign? Is it due to unemployment? I am new to this and I have never been fired. I am beside myself and feeling disposable and rejected. The other paras in class are shocked and do not think there is good cause to let me go. I am the hardest working para.

2024.05.29 04:14 richied930 How do you build a social life from absolutely nothing?

So I've come to the horrible realization that I have no social life and I have no idea how I'd get started on building one. To make things clear from the start, this isn't cause of social anxiety or anything. I'm not a nervous persona and never had issues holding a conversation. My problem here is born of pure ignorance. I just don't know where people hang out or really how to establish relationships. I can maintain a friendship fine. I got friends. I just don't know how to start one. These people just found me and I managed to not scare them off.
To give you some background on I've just always been solitary given most of my hobbies (playing guitar, drawing, movies/books/games) are stuff you do alone in a room. I also never hung out much with people outside school cause I lived pretty far from everyone in school. I got into this nerd school thing (I'm honestly not sure what it's called cause it wasn't private) in case you're wondering what the circumstances are where I lived far away from everyone else. So even though I wanted to and people wanted to hang with me, I never really had much opportunity to since I always had stuff right after class and shit was too far to really meet em over weekends. And even in the very rare cases I was able to visit friends or they were able to visit me, these people are naturally gonna be pretty similar to me so we just did the same shit I'd do alone just with other people in the room. I figured stuff would change in college but for financial reasons I went to community college, and the one I went to was very much a "finish your classes and leave" kind of deal. Most people there weren't even around my age. So I ain't really meet people and I couldn't hang out with my friends and meet people through them cause they went out of state. Got a job but at a Thai restaurant but they ended up putting me in the back where nobody I interacted with regularly spoke English. After that I transferred to a state college and here I thought "finally, now's my chance to have a normal social life and hang out with people", but of course God had a really funny sense of humor cause right before I graduated from county the pandemic happened. The universe saw I had a chance at having a social life and through divine intervention prevented that from happening. So I basically just spend the last to years of my college online. Last year was hybrid so I went out a little but going to a tech school turns out everyone there is also pretty much isolated nerds. My roommate didn't even leave his room. I had to make sure he wasn't dead a few times and honestly I'm not convinced he wasn't. I'd fully believe if he reanimated by the fungus that grew from his pizza. Anyway then I graduated and since the job market wasn't great I took an opportunity for a job in Maryland when it arose. Thing is that state is very far from where all my friends, family and really everyone I know lives so if I was hoping to meet people through them after they came back from college that got ruined. Cheapest place I was able to find that's close to my work was a studio so I have no roommates. All my coworkers are also about a decade+ older than me and have families and shit, so I can't really hang out with them. I feel like I keeping winning a lottery in how to live the most accidentally isolated life ever. My parents are probably happy I'm the rare person that actually focused on my education and didn't go out partying and shit (tho that's more due to circumstances and not choice), but I imagine the pressure of finding someone's gonna ramp up eventually and I'd rather get ahead on that.
So if anyone can just give me some basic advice on where to meet people please help. I know bars are a thing just based off movies but I'm not much of a drinker. I can stomach it if that's the only place but I imagine people are hanging out outside bars in real life. I just don't know where. Part of this is my fault I know, I probably could've made choices to put myself out there more or be more proactive but I've always felt content with my life and never really wanted more till now. Just kind of woke up alone one day and thought "I don't think I've talked to another human being in person, that wasn't a coworker for months" and I want that to change. So any words would be appreciated. Pretend you're teaching an alien or something cause I'm pretty sure whatever stuff you're assuming I already know when you're writing your answer I probably don't.
Oh also I've never been into social media. Never really had much going on to post about outside drawings and shit.

2024.05.29 04:11 PuzzleheadedPush9244 Emory vs Michigan

Just for a little context, I’m a transfer with 2 1/2 years left - currently at a CC
I’m in a weird spot. I only have 2 major acceptances, Emory and Michigan.
I’m a comp sci major, so in terms of career progression, it’s very department focused. Emory would be free for me, while Michigan about $30k a year. I have no parental support, which means I’d be about $70k in debt by the end of all this.
I haven’t heard many good things about Emory CS but it’s free, while Michigan is a top 10 cs school and easily gets kids 6 figure jobs out of grad.
Any input would be appreciated

Not sure what I'd do there. I have like no photos of me, cause of the isolation thing, my page is just doodles from my notepad. I can take a mirror selfie but I don't know if that'd be sufficient. Maybe for Tinder but probably not one of the more reputable sites, but again, what would I know. I'm genuinely clueless.

I got into this nerd school thing (I'm honestly not sure what it's called cause it wasn't private) in case you're wondering what the circumstances are where I lived far away from everyone else. So even though I wanted to and people wanted to hang with me, I never really had much opportunity to since I always had stuff right after class and shit was too far to really meet em over weekends. And even in the very rare cases I was able to visit friends or they were able to visit me, these people are naturally gonna be pretty similar to me so we just did the same shit I'd do alone just with other people in the room. I figured stuff would change in college but for financial reasons I went to community college, and the one I went to was very much a "finish your classes and leave" kind of deal. Most people there weren't even around my age. So I ain't really meet people and I couldn't hang out with my friends and meet people through them cause they went out of state. Got a job but at a Thai restaurant but they ended up putting me in the back where nobody I interacted with regularly spoke English. After that I transferred to a state college and here I thought "finally, now's my chance to have a normal social life and hang out with people", but of course God had a really funny sense of humor cause right before I graduated from county the pandemic happened. The universe saw I had a chance at having a social life and through divine intervention prevented that from happening. So I basically just spend the last to years of my college online. Last year was hybrid so I went out a little but going to a tech school turns out everyone there is also pretty much isolated nerds. My roommate didn't even leave his room. I had to make sure he wasn't dead a few times and honestly I'm not convinced he wasn't. I'd fully believe if he reanimated by the fungus that grew from his pizza. Anyway then I graduated and since the job market wasn't great I took an opportunity for a job in Maryland when it arose. Thing is that state is very far from where all my friends, family and really everyone I know lives so if I was hoping to meet people through them after they came back from college that got ruined. Cheapest place I was able to find that's close to my work was a studio so I have no roommates. All my coworkers are also about a decade+ older than me and have families and shit, so I can't really hang out with them. I feel like I keeping winning a lottery in how to live the most accidentally isolated life ever. My parents are probably happy I'm the rare person that actually focused on my education and didn't go out partying and shit (tho that's more due to circumstances and not choice), but I imagine the pressure of finding someone's gonna ramp up eventually and I'd rather get ahead on that.
So if anyone can just give me some basic advice on where to meet people please help. Both for platonic reasons and not. I know bars are a thing just based off movies but I'm not much of a drinker. I can stomach it if that's the only place but I imagine people are hanging out outside bars in real life. I just don't know where. Also naturally have zero dating experience. Not even like the basics. Never asked anyone out/went on a date. I know rule 1 and 2 and probably some others is to not be ugly and I'm not. I am short but I figure I can make up for that. I can talk to women fine, I don't get nervous. Granted I've never tried pursuing someone before and I sure as hell don't know how to close a deal or tell if someone's interesting so who know I might choke there. Part of this is my fault I know, I probably could've made choices to put myself out there more or be more proactive but I've always felt content with my life and never really wanted more till now. Just kind of woke up alone one day and thought "I don't think I've talked to another human being in person, that wasn't a coworker for months" and I want that to change. So any words would be appreciated. Pretend you're teaching an alien or something cause I'm pretty sure whatever stuff you're assuming I already know when you're writing your answer I probably don't.
Oh also I've never been into social media. Never really had much going on to post about outside drawings and shit. I know most dating is online and a lot of people meet through Instagram. Not sure what I'd do there. I have like no photos of me, cause of the isolation thing, my page is just doodles from my notepad. I can take a mirror selfie but I don't know if that'd be sufficient. Maybe for Tinder but probably not one of the more reputable sites, but again, what would I know. I'm genuinely clueless.

2024.05.29 04:10 richied930 How do you build a social life from absolutely nothing?

So I've recently come to the horrible realization that I have no social life, no dating experience, and I have no idea how I'd get started on either. To make things clear from the start, this isn't cause of social anxiety or anything. I'm not a nervous persona and never had issues holding a conversation. My problem here is born of pure ignorance. I just don't know where people hang out or really how to establish relationships both platonic and romantic. I can maintain a friendship fine. I got friends. I just don't know how to start one. These people just found me and I managed to not scare them off.

2024.05.29 04:06 Horror-Market4883 Questions about transfering

So I'm a grade 12 student and I'm debating on whether or not I should go to TMU or Queens for computer engineering. I want to transfer to UW or U of T after the first year. I have a couple of questions that might help me decide.
1) Is there a point in even transferring to those unis? I just want to secure a good job after grad so will there be a huge difference in pay if I did co-op at UW/U of T vs Queens or TMU?
2) Since Queens reputation is more renowned, Would more credits from Queens be transferable than TMU? If so by how much since I need to pay res if I go to queens
3) Lastly, What avg would give me a good chance of them accepting my transfer request?

2024.05.29 03:57 AdFriendly2570 Never had boundaries and now very lost in my forties

Looking back at my life I realize I've always tried to be the "good girl" and do what the people around me wanted me to do. I have been the glue in my family, always dropping everything to help any of them that asked or seemed like they needed my support . I have a demanding job and have always been a perfectionist at work, keeping crazy hours and putting my entire self into it. Between my family and work I have never prioritized my partner and thus have never had a successful romantic relationship. I have friends that I love and value very much but I barely see them bc of my other obligations. Now that my siblings have spouses and kids I have taken on a caregiver role for my parents who have health issues and have come into financial hardship. My relationship is falling apart bc I've spent all of my free time outside of my demanding job tending to family crises in the past year I am not sure if this is what a midlife crisis feels like but I'm realizing I've never lived my life for myself or even know what I enjoy or want or dream of for my future. I'm completely unconnected to any sense of what may make me happy or give my life meaning. Idk if I'm asking for advice but I just feel like I've somehow turned into this pathetic person who automatically has always put myself last. I guess my question is , have any of you ever felt this way and is it possible reclaim any hope ? I know that I probably need to set better boundaries with my family and at work - it is just so hard when you've built up the expectations of everyone to treat you this way for your entire life thus far.

2024.05.29 03:41 Imthedamguy Laid off from job that paid under the table

Hello all, I was just laid off from my job that paid me under the table i.e un taxed e transfers…
prior to this I had a regular job in which my pay was taxed but I quit a couple of months ago ( i understand if you quit you aren’t always applicable for EI but there was some outstanding issues with my previous job i can make EI aware of if that helps).
I am attempting to apply for EI although I am unsure if I should mention I had this job that paid me untaxed or just pretend this job never existed and apply only stating my previous job

2024.05.29 03:39 Hungrycheeze Job Offer Rescinded Due to ADA Request

Has anyone had experience with this in MA? I had a job offer rescinded today due to them telling me they couldn’t fulfill an ada request I wasn’t asking them to fulfill. Actual parts of a request I clarified in writing more than twice, but for some reason they keep saying I had requested.
I know it’s illegal for them to rescind the offer due to ADA specific request period when they do not cause undue financial or operational hardship, but this shit is insane. I was supposed to start next week and I’m just so confused.
I don’t want to get super specific for obvious reason I’m just curious if anyone has run into a similar situation in MA and if they had any luck with the MCAD or not.
