Definitely 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.

Patton 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.

“Oh no, I want to bake a pineapple upside down cake later, I’m not hungry now.”

We do the same three taps on the shoulder or hand squeezes for “I love you” too. Hon, is that you?

“Do we have any pineapple at home?” is our safe word for social situations when one of us needs a reason to leave a situation or change the conversation because they’re uncomfortable. I detest pineapple.

I don’t really know enough to have an informed opinion, but the first thing that came to mind is the news articles I’ve seen that Uttar Pradesh is very unfriendly towards women. There is an article that just got posted in the news community today that is pretty horrifying.

I think caring what happens to the world at large is a pretty big emotional burden to carry.

A few days ago. It was my dog’s 14th birthday. She passed away in May though.

Most of David Sedaris’s books could fit the bill. His books are usually a collection of short stories with an overarching theme and are funny and easy to follow.

OP refers to her as “she” in another comment.

This is correct. I’m sure the woman has moved on at this point but she definitely remembers. A simple “sorry, ghosting you wasn’t right” will go a long way.

Social worker is pretty high on the list. Most are overworked, underpaid and treated poorly by their management, their clients, or both.

I’ve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.

It’s going to look great. Please keep posting pictures!

Nope.

I would go home sick for the day and take a nap, then show up for the interview well-rested. Caffeine will make you feel more alert for a short while, but it won’t really help your brain.

I keep it the same year round, about 71F during the day and 68F at night.

I’m not sure of the first song, but the first music I ever bought myself was II by Boyz II Men.
