Yep. One of our other offices decided to consolidate locations and use this hoteling concept which was a pre-Covid decision. It became a problem post-Covid when the company decided there should be...
I went paperless after working from home during the pandemic. Threw out most papers when I got back in the office but maintained a few files.
Now just was informed that our office is...
Have to agree that's not something to tell unless there is some verifiable truth to it. Even then, it might not be believed.
Regarding it's not hard to find Austrians with Jewish background that...
I know I am chiming in late but yes, it has happened to me. And in fact, right now DH is scratching his head over a friend who relocated out of town, he has reached out and...crickets.
One story:...
DH and I have managed to avoid Covid so far, both of us are fully vaccinated and boosted.
But....had a close call at Christmas. Saw sister, BIL and nephews on Christmas Day, got a text 4 days...
DH is finally purging a lot of stuff, quite the accomplishment considering he can be quite the packrat being raised in a packrat family.
In other purging news, got rid of 3 books, one old picture...
Thank you! I found I had a lot of clothes taking up space in extra drawers that I completely forgot about. And hadn't worn in years.
Yep, had this happen to me by an ex who stalked me but IRL as this predated Facebook. Some saw through it, other's didn't.
Sorry to hear this is happening to you, Tradd, but good to hear that...
Been regularly purging things but finally decided to document here the most recent items:
Last week taken to Goodwill:
15 tops
1 suit
4 shirts
5 pairs of pants
2 scarves
1 glass vase
2 bath...
Years ago, my boss wrote them to get me excused due to a critical project going on but they would only reschedule in 6 months. Guess that still hasn't changed.
I hope you can get them to...
In my early working days, when working retail / restaurant, those were times when I got called in.
My last couple jobs didn't involve being on call, however there were a couple of project...
A few years ago, I did something similar. Mostly vacation photos still have to finish going through personal / family photos but at this point I whittled it down to 2 small boxes. I hope by the...
Last fall, DH got called to jury duty during the time we would be on vacation. The county will allow you to postpone for this sort of reason only once. In our county you are called for a week...
@Tradd, just saw this post. Served at 26th and Cal years ago on a murder case. It wasn't that great then but today? No way would I go there tbh. One good thing about moving out of Cook county...
Maybe a bit late to this but yeah, that's been my experience. Not literally showing up on my doorstep, but have had a few guys develop a crush on me after I was married, become very attentive and...
This reminds me of back in my retail days, the store manager actually told us before opening for the day that "the customer is always right" maxim was a variable of something else but didn't...
Just before Christmas, I was notified of a close Covid exposure at work and to get tested. The drug store home test I used was negative but was still advised to to get a PCR test to be sure because...
I typically did not keep personal stuff on my work desk, most of it is work related to the point I have been asked why I don't "personalize" my space with family pictures, etc. No, not everyone...
Vases...yikes, I used to have a ton of them including the cheap ones from flower arrangements. I got rid of all of them except for 2 larger vases, one of which belonged to my grandmother, to use...
@rosarugosa, it is good you have a good relationship with your sister. I can't tell you how extremely painful it was to know that MS stole from us. On the other hand, I have a good relationship...
Came back to the site today after being away a bit and this thread bumped up in the meantime. My apologies @farmgrrl for not seeing it sooner.
I am not sure if @farmgrrl has seen my estate thread...
Been to the one in IL but if you really want an interesting view, try going in winter to see the falls frozen. Got to climb behind the frozen falls for some interesting pictures. Has to be cold...
The ring is lovely!
On the issue of slides and pictures, we are dealing with more slides than pictures. My youngest sibling and I are going through them, sorting them out and honestly purging a...
Hello Oddball, perhaps chiming in a bit late here but the above is somewhat similar to my late parents' situation except for the 50% decluttering. Mom died in 2015, Dad in 2017. On paper they had...
