How awful that your employer is so inhumane; condolences. :(

If you strike a convo with their staff, it could be even longer. (And if you have enough convos, they'll know your order and have it in before you sit down.) Don't see the problem myself, but I was raised in a similar culture.

Understood -- we were in the same situation a few years ago. After seeing the mostly dismal complexes, speaking with managers about when to expect availability during our time, and seeing how regularly home apartments became available, we delayed our search and began looking in March/April for places starting in July/August.

I could eat at Cafe Reyes every day and be satisfied.

I'd recommend finding a house rather than a complex. The complexes vary vastly in quality; any property should be toured, but especially those complexes (and many won't want to give them to you). House example 1, example 2.

Eastside needs that competition. It's stop + shop quality with a premium name and prices -- totally undeserved. Would rather go to Whole Foods or MB -- or a proper S+S.

Good for them.

RI is a different state.

Some people just can't quit. :)

Spicy chicken bits is a tough dish to beat.

Break yourself off by your bootstraps

> a) break it down - which would be a reasonable suggestion except that when you break down a TV sized box it takes up like 90% of the tiny recycling bin we get, so now you have no room for all your other reycling.

They suggest that you stack the boxes flat and place them beneath or next to the recycling bin, similar to pizza boxes.

Need to break it down into flat, smaller pieces of cardboard.

[edit] My partner has found the flyer we received when our large piece was rejected. It requested to cut the pieces down to approx 2 ft in length/width and remove plastic/tape if possible. We broke our box into pieces and folded each into something closer to 3x3, stack them; they took the stack sans issue.

Public health expenditures. Keeping people healthy is generally cheaper than the alternative.

Decreased quality product and severe reduction in sales/promotions are the biggest complaints I hear. They lost a lot of goodwill during the Wednesday debacle a few months back. I also hear bitterness from the staff about the rewards, but they ofc can't use them. There's a lot more competition these days, so I get why their promotions aren't as good as before.

Tbh I'd stay clear of the Botanist unless you live nearby. I've friends in the industry and everything I hear out of there has been awful lately.

I live a few blocks from the UMass Med campus and definitely recommend checking out food around. For example, Cafe Reyes - a Cuban joint that is staffed by rehab patients - is not far away and had one of the best breakfasts/lunches in the city. My partner and I also are fond of Regatta Deli and Lakeside Bar and grill for casual fare, too. The lakeside parks are also great -- in the summer, the Regatta Park has watercraft courses, and there's outdoor BBQ as well.

There were a lot of times that he broke, especially with stress and diphthongs.

Don't knock it 'til you've lived it. It's very easy to get accustomed to traffic with Chinese characteristics.

This is some post.

Sounds like he's purchased an existing company. Anyone know which?
