Hi All.
I don't know how Fresno "runs" during the 4th of July, especially on the weekends.
Are most people off of work tomorrow? And should I expect more fireworks tonight? My dog is terrified and I don't want to be under prepared. Thanks! :)
I (stupidly) thought Walmart wouldn't be busy on the 4th of July. WRONG.
Thankfully, I made a grocery order and didn't need to go inside, however the grocery order pick up was also very busy. All the stalls were full.
All of the employees were not only hustling to get the orders out FAST, but they were extremely friendly.
All of my groceries were in date, fresh, and they put them in the bags nicely. I have never used grocery order pick up and was pleasantly surprised.
I love living in Fresno.
I have lived all over the US, US territories and out of the country and lemme tell you. It ain’t that bad!
I love how much there is to do. There is always an event.
We don’t have extreme weather. No tornados, no hurricanes, nada. If you want snow, it’s just an easy drive!
We are close to so much. We have Clovis 2 seconds away, the beach and the mountains are really close. All you need is a car or the train!
The restaurants and the food culture are amazing. Mexican, Thai, Indian, etc etc we have it all!!
Health care is great! I’ve had really bad insurance and was still able to access health care. I truly have amazing doctors. We have a lot of specialists!
I can go on and on but I really truly think we have a gem. It can be better. The 110 degrees isn’t great, but man. We sure are lucky!
I started a new job 2 months ago. It is a small team, me, my boss and my co worker, J.
J has been with the company for 2 years. We are the same position, and they make 5 dollars more than me an hour.
J is on a LOA. I am having to take over for J, and my boss has been getting emails about all of the errors J has made (and ignored emails about) since last year.
Boss and I are on a very tight deadline, and I have been kicking butt getting everything done.
My boss is anticipating that J is not coming back, and with that, I would need to take over their job duties until we hire a replacement.
My boss wants to restructure things, which I am unsure what that means.
Do I ask for an incentive increase until J returns? (my company has done this, an employee will be doing x,y,z extra and they earn X amount extra for this time period).
If this restructuring includes me doing more work, do I ask for a raise then?
Do I ask for a raise in general? I have no idea how or why they make so much more than me. J gets to work from home also, and I have to come to the office every day.
Do I let this go, since I have only been there for 2 months?
Thank you.
I am not saying this because the dude is "good looking", but he is the ONLY person on this show who I thought "damn, this guy is going to make it!". He was in a halfway house, decided to get a job, go back to school, wants to own his own business, and just wants to be a family man. I think if Kayleigh was actually normal, they would have had a nice life together. Her neck and all.
I used to work in prisons and have seen some stuff, but it is very rare when you see a person get out after so long and actually want to do something besides drugs/alcohol. It is VERY rare.
Shows if you want to do something, you can do it.
I started a new job 2 months ago.
When I started, they made us sign a paper with our stated job duties. I signed it.
My co worker has been with the company for almost 2 years, works from home and makes over 5 dollars an hour more than me. We have the same title. One does AP, the other does AR.
my co worker has recently gone on a LOA and I have to cover all of her job duties as well as my own. I received emails today and the requests to get things done happened back in December and January, which she ignored, and I’m expected to get them all done in a very short time frame, complete my own job duties, do payroll and complete training that isn’t related to my job duty that will take 40+hours next week and go to meetings. I have no help. tomorrow is Friday. training starts Monday. Things need to be done next which, which is during the training that is mandatory.
I really do not think my co worker is coming back.
If she doesn’t come back and I’m expected to fill in, am I able to ask for a raise?
I’ve only been with the company for two months, but she’s been here for 2 years and made a ton of mistakes on the same things she’s been doing for 2 years. They’re not little mistakes either and they’re very time consuming. I’m expected to come to the office everyday, where she can work from home.
Any Advice is appreciated.
Hello!
I moved back to Fresno a few years ago, and really not up to date on what there is to do here. I don't have social media outside of reddit.
Can someone please provide fun solo activities for people to do in Fresno/Clovis?
Thanks much!
I went to the Farmers Market on Shaw/Blackstone today and spent 15 dollars on strawberries. They used to be like 8 dollars.
Anywho, when I got home and took them to prepare them, they were bad. Looked good on top, bad on the bottom.
Where can I get reasonably priced and decent strawberries?
Thanks!
My aunt has stage 4 ovarian. I dont have parents and my aunt was like my mother. We saw each other very frequently and we did a lot together prior to diagnosis. We would have family dinners. After diagnosis, we don’t see each other, she doesn’t talk to me unless I reach out, I have no idea what’s going on and I feel so sad. I feel like I’m losing her before I lose her, and I don’t know what to do or how to bring this up. I understand she has cancer, but I wasn’t expecting her to completely pull away. We used to go to church together, and now she goes without me. Doesn’t even ask about me.
I probably sound selfish but I was hoping things would be different. I have my own cancer that I’m dealing with and I feel very alone. My family has completely isolated themselves. Sad.
Hi all, I saw that Ten Tavern is having Bridgerton Bingo in June. Does Ten Tavern frequently have bingo? are there other places (not the party bingo ones) that have Bingo? My friends and I have been trying to look to no avail. Thanks!
Is there a pet photographer that you can recommend? Thank you!
I have gone through it in terms of dating. Any horrible scenario you can think of, I have been through. I used to do sex work on top of it all and have had horrible experiences with men. I used to fetish model for PB.
Anyways. I went through a lot of intensive therapy, and I have become very secure in myself and my life is fantastic. I decided to start dating again and holy crap. It has been a nightmare.
I posted here about dating the "nice guy", well one date he said too much and I almost gagged mid dinner. I noticed about 13 "yellow" and "red" flags. Things I couldn't move past. I told a surface level friend, and they said he isn't that bad. HE ISN'T?!!
Well, I dumped him anyways.
I met another guy and I was too busy to respond to his message. I lost my phone at some point and said "fuck it" and came back to 6-8 messages. He again, said too much. Said he smokes because of stress. Then 3 hours later said maybe I can be the reason why he quits smoking. Smoking=no, texting me because I didn't respond in 3 hours=no, saying weird shit=no.
Again, I told a surface level friend and they said it isn't that bad.
Any little thing and I will instantly stop talking to guys. They could literally breathe too loud and I am out. I just can't take it.
I think I healed too much and now I don't forgive anything.
Has anyone else gone through this? Men gross me out; I am not a lesbian and I would like to have a companion. Help.
Edit: Talked to my therapist. Read her some of these comments. She said I do not have CPTSD, I am not traumatized, and I have learned from my mistakes. According to her, I am healed with secure attachment. Thank you.
I have gone through a crazy 10 months.
etc etc etc
I am left confused, heartbroken and lost. I have friends now, but they're surface level friends. I miss having close friendships. And no matter how hard I try to break the surface level, nothing pans out. It feels like I am the one putting in most of the effort, and I am exhausted.
Sometimes I feel anxious due to the lack of connection, my phone can stay dry for days at a time and I literally don't talk to anyone. I put myself out there and it's been going ok.
How do you survive life without a tribe? I am single and chidless and I feel like I got left behind. My family isn't that close anymore because my Aunt needs so much attention, which is fine, but family dinners etc have stopped.
I dated my ex on and off for four years. He ghosted me and came back. I stupidly took him back.
I saw him for what he was and became so disgusted by him.
Through lots of work, I changed my entire life and became the happiest I’ve ever been… until I started dating.
I realized I’m the avoidant now. I now know how he felt, and man, it was better than anxious … but I don’t want it to ruin my relationships.
has this happened to anyone else?
THE WAY THEY INTRODUCED COLT, PHIL AND CORTNEY HAS ME GAGGED!!!!
Then Phil said he will buy Colt a cat when he moves was CHEFS kiss.
I know I am behind on the episodes but wow, this was HILARIOUS!!! And Colty was jealous of good ole Phillip. LOL
My therapist and I work for the same organization. The organization is pretty high stress, so my therapist knows what I am dealing with.
I don't like the job. I feel like I am walking on eggshells with my boss (nice one minute, stressed and rude the next) and I don't like my co worker (very phony). I realized that overall, the work is relatively easy, and I let them get to me too much. I have always struggled with this.
As I said, my job is in a high stress environment that helps victims. I was also a victim at one point in my life and thought I was over it. My job "triggers" some memories of these past events, and I said I would like help dealing with this.
He interrupted me and bluntly said I need to quit.
I was rather surprised, because he said earlier in our session that it is recommended that people who work there and were victims should be working with a therapist.
... Aren't I working with a therapist? lol
I felt shutdown and like he didn't even want to hear what I said and wanted to find an easy solution "to quit". It isn't easy for me to "quit", as I have massive financial responsibilities. I also don't want to quit something that I have just started. I haven't been at the job long.
Is this a normal reaction from a therapist?
I posted here about 5 days ago about my A-Hole Boss. Well, today he almost made me cry. He is an absolute douche.
The pay is about 10 dollars more than I was making, so I don't want to jump ship, benefits are better than what I was getting, including retirement, etc. My co workers are also A-holes, which I was warned about. Thankfully the main one only comes in 2x a week.
Anyways, my boss ruins my day every single time he is a dick. It is unpredictable, and I have no idea why he is even a dick to begin with. It is my first month, not everything is going to go smoothly. My last three bosses told me there is something called a LEARNING CURVE so expect to take about 2 years to fully learn your job.
But this guy? Nah. One month, and he thinks you're a moron if you make a mistake.
I already started making notes of when he is an a-hole, what he says, date and time, but how do I let this not ruin my day? It ruins my day even after hours and I don't want to look for something after 1 month.
How did you let your A-hole boss not bother you?
Thank you.
Can someone recommend me a place or person who can put window tint on my car at a fair price? And can do it quickly? My car is old and I don't need to spend what I have been quoted. lol
Thank you!
My studly 2007 Toyota Corolla has very light window tint. Usually not an issue, but my current place of employment has VERY little shade and boy oh boy, my car gets HOT.
Does anyone know what I can do to help this that isn't window tinting (I can't be without a car to get it done)? Would something like this be worth it? 2007 Toyota Corolla SunShade | WeatherTech
