Reply to comment by MiKeMcDnet in LPT: 30 min lunch break? Schedule for X:15 or X:45 so ppl don't schedule meetings. by MiKeMcDnet

Yeah, I work 7-3 (often 7-2:30 with shorter lunch)

I do almost categorically just not attend any after 3 - manager is fine with it so all good on that front.

Always make sure to claim the time back though - need to be flexible to a degree and get the same flex back

I tend to cave and shuffle my lunch for the mid day ones sometimes to the point where it ends up essentially nonexistent, which is a bit shit - need to push back more strongly on these sometimes

Reply to LPT: After a good haircut, take a photo of your hair to show to the barber next time you go, it makes life much easier for them and for you. This especially helps if you're going to a new barber for the first time. by bongingnaut

I would take a picture after two weeks because that's when I enjoy my cut the best. Every new barber I go to manages to take off double the amount I tell them, so that'll at least get me back to the previous week, which I can live with.

Reply to comment by Constant_Mouse_1140 in LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll

I feel like the only reason they ask is because misery loves company. Look, children are nice and fun, but there are many moments where they are just too frustrating, especially when you are not ready. It seems that they ask because they have someone to vent about their kids.

Reply to LPT: Take your adopted animals from shelters straight to a vet as soon as possible. by bcurtiswx

I adopted a cat from a shelter and they didn’t disclose the cat had Feline Leukemia Virus (a very aggressive virus that transmits to cats and similar animals via nasal droplets. Like a mix of Covid and HIV for your kitty). Brought her home and was met by my and my then-gf’s other three cats. All four of them were dead within a couple years.

Shelter did not take responsibility, denied the cat I adopted had it when she was at the shelter. No payout, gf broke up with me because according to her, I indirectly killed her babies

Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: Hourly wage multiplied by 2,000 is your yearly income by [deleted]

Ok. If you quit we need to adjust the number of hours for the calculation. PTO is meant to be used. Most workers will not have excess PTO. Health insurance benefits can not be used for rent. It is NOT income. You do not pay taxes on health insurance paid by your employer(except for a couple of cases like a domestic partner). 2000 gives you a reasonable, if not exact, number for the yearly income. Being conservative is important for anyone who doesn’t have the PTO benefits and is taking 2 weeks unpaid leave for sickness. All of this is for the US.
