In my Volkswagen Beetle once. It was exciting in the moment but looking back it was pretty meh.

sara@lemmy.todayto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you have an uncomfortable conversation with your boss?3·1 year agoDefinitely do it in person and take the approach of “I was offered $17.50 initially and I have show I am reliable/hardworking over the last 4 months, and I would like to earn $X now” rather than “it’s not fair I was told this rate but got paid less”. Specific examples to show your value are helpful, use a friendly but firm approach, but recognize usually employers have complete discretion in wages unless you are part of union or have a contract so there’s a chance they will say no.
Another option is to use those 4 months of experience to get a new warehouse job with better pay. People tend to earn more job hopping than waiting for raises.
sara@lemmy.todaytoPersonal Finance@lemmy.ml•If I'm legal resident of a state with no state income tax, but work a W-4 job in a different state that has a very high state income tax...English1·1 year agoGenerally speaking you are taxed/follow employment laws of the state you do the work in.
sara@lemmy.todaytoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•Do You Tip More or Less Often Than the Average American?English33·2 years agoIn general, I tip 20% at restaurants and salons, food delivery services typically get a flat tip of $7 per order, maybe a few bucks if I’m picking up the food myself, and $1 per coffee or drink at a bar. If service is really good or really awful (ie, the server is rude), I adjust accordingly.
Edit: someone apparently doesn’t like what I do with my own money.
sara@lemmy.todayto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong6·2 years agoCognitive dissonance. People see themselves as rational and intelligent and anything that counters that is very difficult to accept, so they double down.
Apparently I’m disgusting because I only brush and floss at night. I wish I was the sort of person who brushed after every meal but I just can’t be bothered. I haven’t had a cavity in years though, so I guess it works for me.
sara@lemmy.todayto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to write an effective CV, how to be dare to apply for a higher position?15·2 years agoYou want a functional resume, which focuses more on skills rather than work history. I know a CV isn’t the exact same thing as a resume, but it’s similar enough that if you searched “functional resume examples” you would have a good starting point. You can always include skills that you obtained through education/hobbies/volunteer activities too.
I guess I should clarify I start offering hugs to people. I would never just wrap my arms around someone unless I knew it was ok.
I have the most embarrassing quirk when I drink. I get super emotional and start giving out hugs to people I would never hug sober.
sara@lemmy.todayto Dogs@lemmy.world•A Lot of Pet Owners (Wrongly) Think Vaccines Are Bad for Dogs - A survey found that 53% of dog owners expressed some hesitancy about their pet's vaccinesEnglish16·2 years agoI didn’t realize the vaccine conspiracy theory community moved on to dogs, but I guess it’s not really surprising. Follow the advice of your vet, not your weird uncle’s Facebook posts.
sara@lemmy.todayto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whose a good comedian that never fails to make you laugh?4·2 years agoPatton Oswalt and Michelle Buteau. Kind of an odd pairing considering their comedy is very different, but they both make me regularly wheeze laugh.
Broad City is one of my favorite female led comedies! In general, I think Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make comedy that fits the bill. I also enjoyed Crazy Ex Girlfriend.
Having an ad-free Pinterest-esque option sounds like a dream. I stopped using it a while ago because of all the obnoxious ads.

sara@lemmy.todayto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•US High School Student Loses Scholarship Over Social Media Twerking VideoEnglish3·2 years agoWhat does shaking your ass at a private party have to do with your academics? This is the dumbest situation. This poor girl.
sara@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•Family of 8-year-old girl killed by police reach $11 million settlementEnglish11·2 years agoTheir punishment is unbelievable. They didn’t tag a fence, they shot an 8 year old.
sara@lemmy.todayto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Couples, what secret language do you use to tell each other details that the company you're in doesn't understand or notice?1·2 years ago“Oh no, I want to bake a pineapple upside down cake later, I’m not hungry now.”
sara@lemmy.todayto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Couples, what secret language do you use to tell each other details that the company you're in doesn't understand or notice?3·2 years agoWe do the same three taps on the shoulder or hand squeezes for “I love you” too. Hon, is that you?
I fell off a walking path into a bunch of massive rocks Wile E Coyote style five minutes into sight seeing with my brother who I hadn’t seen in 10 years. I managed to hobble away with only a grade three sprain and some horrible bruising. It’s healed now but perpetually stiff. My new normal is walking down stairs like a 95 year old.
