I don’t mean the whole “just take 15 min a day” type of hack. I mean cheats, like what toilet bowl tablet does a good job so you don’t have to scrub or what odor absorber you throw into the dirty clothes basket. A magic bathroom spray you don’t have to scrub the walls after you apply? Do these things exist?
Does anyone have any lazy cleaning or freshening cheats?
There are always words in my other languages that make me giggle or just sound so “wrong” in English that they don’t seem real. Pamplemousse in French, for example.
I’m a beginner German learner and bleiben and glauben just hit me every time. It’s not about structure or meaning (or length of some of those words), it’s about the sound it makes. I can’t explain why. It makes me wonder if there are English words that sound ridiculous to you?
The dumplings I got her have meat in them and she expected veg, so it’s a problem (she has ARFID). So naturally, for someone with huge food anxiety, screaming at her to eat it helps tremendously. Now he’s telling her how rude she is. Now he’s telling her she’s ungrateful. Lord help me.
It is incredibly frustrating to try and feed her but it’s not just because she’s stubborn. This is why their relationship is total shit.
ETA I go out of town tomorrow and hate it. She hates him.
I posted a couple weeks ago about a „quick connect“ call that I was worried about that did, in fact, go the way I was worried it would.
C‘est la vie. I’ve scheduled three interviews since then so I think something will pan out.
HOWEVER, a friend at my now ex-company told me today that someone I was really struggling with at that job, who threw me under the bus more than once, has upped her game and using me as a CYA tool.
She’s saying in group meetings that I left her flying blind and didn’t grant access for or give info on a new system I was supposed to manage. Here’s the thing—she KNOWS it took me forever to get access approved myself and that I only got set up two days before I got let go. She was in all the emails and even helped to ping a couple people she knew to try and rush my access. I had no idea how to use the system yet. I didn’t fuck her over, I was laid off. This is how she treated me in her six months there—scapegoat for her being over her head.
I know. I’m smart. I KNOW. But fuck I want to email her and the VP and be real fucking bitchy and remind them both that this is a her problem, not a me problem. She’s had two weeks to take over the role I was supposed to hold and she didn’t. Now that she’s called out, it’s my fault.
I will be fantasizing about that email for days. Fucking bitch.
