Accidentally formatted Sony Handycam DVD with vacation footage on it—is it gone forever?

Accidentally formatted Sony Handycam DVD with vacation footage on it—is it gone forever?

Hi everyone, I was trying to finalize a DVD in my Sony Handycam and accidentally hit format instead of finalize—is my footage gone forever or is there a way to recover it? None of my videos show anywhere in storage and I’m quite heartbroken. Thanks in advance for the help!

2 weekly meal prep spots still available, local pickup

Hi everyone, I posted here about a month ago to share my private meal prep services and wanted to repost now that I have two weekly spots left and would love for them to be filled by locals. Please let me know if this post isn’t allowed.

I’m happy to customize meal plans on a case-by-case basis, adapting to different dietary needs or flavor preferences. My basic plan offers the following:

10 individual meals, $215 for plant-based proteins and $265 for meat-based proteins (cost includes groceries—I primarily shop at Whole Foods, Fei Long, and Balady)

3 portions of Lunch 1
3 portions of Dinner 1
2 portions of Lunch 2
2 portions of Dinner 2

I have an inventory of lunch and dinner options that I typically rotate through, but can accept substitutions and requests as needed. Most of my meals can be characterized as nutritious and comforting, and I’m happy to lean more on the healthy side or more on the comforting side should you prefer (ask me to deep fry something!). I cook with a lot of Chinese, Japanese, American, Mexican, and Italian flavors.

I’m also happy to change the number or composition of meals, for example can add breakfast or can do more portions of the same meals. Special protein requests, macro counting, written recipes, and any other dietary restrictions that necessitate costlier groceries may come with an additional fee.

Some of my most loved/requested dishes include:

•#1 Fave: Rice bowl with seasonal veggies, homemade pickles, and sauce (Ex: salmon, pork belly, or tofu as protein, spicy mayo or teriyaki as sauce)
•BBQ with potato salad (Ex: pork ribs or tofu cutlet) •White lasagna with seasonal green veggies (Ex: Swiss chard, leeks, zucchini)
•Japanese curry with potatoes, carrots, rice, and protein (Ex: pork, tofu, chicken)
•Classic beef chili with jalapeno cheddar cornbread •Peanut lime tofu satay with carrot cucumber salad •Hot honey chicken thigh salad with peaches, avocados, and corn
•Salmon curry with veggies (Ex: cauliflower, bell pepper, green beans)
•Summer spring rolls with seasonal veggies (Ex: pork or tofu with carrots, cucumber, cilantro, etc.)

The $215/$265 price is for pickup at my home in Sunset Park. I can deliver for an extra fee depending on location, but at least $20. I can also cook in your home kitchen and can discuss pricing for that depending on your needs.

Seasonal update on my capsule-ish wardrobe

Posted on here in the late winter/spring showcasing my developing capsule wardrobe and wanted to share where things are at in the warmer months :) I’m trying to incorporate more color!! I wear this Uniqlo maxi dress (as a dress and folded over as a skirt) almost every day in the summer, as you can see. I even wore it to a funeral on one of the hottest days in June

Who wants to barter? Seeking cleaning help in exchange for…

Hi everyone,

Does anyone in the neighborhood want to barter? I’m unemployed after a corporate layoff a year ago and know a lot of other people are struggling financially, so am looking to see if there’s any interest in exchanging goods and services without money.

Specifically, I have a pretty bad back injury right now and could really use a 3-4 hour deep clean of my apartment (mostly kitchen and bathroom) since I’m unable to do it myself. The services/goods I’m able to exchange include child care, meal prep/cooking (I am a great home cook and even do paid meal prep services to give an idea of skill level), painting (I can paint something of your choosing or teach you! I teach oil painting classes), cat sitting, writing services, resume or job help, tutoring for kids, and more. I also have a decent amount of women’s clothing and accessories that I’d be willing to trade (most size Large-XLish and women’s shoe size 7.5-8). I have a Masters in Public Policy so if you’re a grad student and want a real life human to write your paper instead of ChatGPT, I’ll do it (and better, too) in exchange for clean floor boards. If there’s any other type of task you’ve been putting off, I’ll do yours if you do mine!

I am extremely open to any combination of the above, or something else entirely as long as it’s in my wheelhouse.

If anyone is interested in this kinda thing, comment or DM me!

4 months, 5 rounds, reference checks, and… a rejection

I think I’m done now. I’ve been unemployed for 11 months after a layoff. I have a Master’s degree, 6 years of experience (some at Director level), and have applied for hundreds and hundreds of roles. I just had a lengthy interview process that has left me feeling defeated and disrespected.

I began interviewing for a Director-level job at a large nonprofit in March, about $95k salary. There was a screening with an external HR consultant followed by an interview with two members of the team. Then an entire month later I had another interview with four members of the team (where I was asked the same questions, almost verbatim, as round two). Then, two weeks later, I had to complete a writing exercise. Finally, I had an in-person interview with the organization’s CEO at the end of May (which they made it seem was reserved for final candidates). They asked for my references mid-June.

This organization has showed me serious disarray throughout the hiring process, but I’m desperate so was willing to ignore it. In May, their HR person mistakenly sent me an email with the private details of an employee’s disability leave. Weeks would go by between correspondence, my emails going completely ignored. Their HR person would sometimes give a self-imposed deadline (“we’ll update you on Tuesday”), only for that time to come and go with no communication from them. The details of the role varied widely from person to person and interview to interview. During my final round with the CEO, he revealed to me that this was “exclusively a traveling position”, despite the JD saying “occasional” and no one having previously mentioned the extent of the travel to me.

Still, I needed a job. After my final round, two weeks went by before they asked for my references. Annoying, but okay. They asked me for my references’ personal and professional emails, personal and professional phone numbers and availability, just to send them each a Google form rather than calling. Again, weeks came and went with no communication from them. I personally have never been asked for my references and not been extended an offer. I understand hiring decisions can change up until an offer is accepted, but I found this entire process to be excessive and completely disrespectful of my time in such a high stakes job market.

Yesterday, three weeks after they asked for my references, I got an email that they chose to proceed with another candidate. I was (mistakenly) under the impression that I was the final candidate. I’ve asked for feedback just to make sure there wasn’t an issue with my references, but I think this is just a sign of the job market we’re in. Don’t assume you have a job until you’re in that office on the first day. I’ve been simultaneously working in and searching for part-time/gig work but am thinking maybe it’s time to stop looking for career jobs. I give up.
