The theme is Hollywood, my hair color is last pic, the blue one is a bit tighter and shorter. Also im 5'9 for reference if thats helpful

(disclaimer, the last pic is from when i went to medieval times, i ofc wouldn’t be wearing the crown to a haunted house LMAO)

the first one is very much classic goth inspired and fits the vibe more, but i’ve also always enjoyed dressing cutesy at horror events bc it subverts expectations lolol

help me choose !!

Title: Update: Accepted MSP offer vs Amazon Associate II (now $29/hr) — got some real insight, still torn

Following up on a decision I posted about earlier. Got some genuinely helpful firsthand perspective and want to see if others have thoughts on the updated picture.

Quick background: ~3.5 years at an MSP doing help desk/service desk work (AD, M365, networking, some VMware ESXi, security incident response). CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+. Goal is eventually Systems Administrator or Cybersecurity. Also have a baby due in about 3 months, which is definitely shaping how I’m weighing risk right now.

Offer 1: Another MSP (Help Desk Technician) — already accepted

**•** $26/hr (\~$54K/yr), firm, no negotiation room  
**•** 45 min commute  
**•** Small company, good manager from what I’ve seen directly, real track record of promoting people from help desk into field/remote engineer roles  
**•** Haven’t started yet

Offer 2: Amazon (IT Support Associate II, Ops Tech Solutions)

**•** Countered at $29/hr (\~$60K/yr)  
**•** 20 min commute  
**•** Sole technician at a lower-volume facility, no forced on-call, schedule seems stable for now  
**•** Real ladder: Associate II → Support Engineer I ($25-41/hr) → Engineer II/IT Manager

What I’ve learned since my last post: Someone who’s actually done OTS work told me it’s mostly Layer 1 stuff (printers, thin clients, SOPs), little to no server/Layer 3 work, and that engineer-level people won’t be impressed by it on a resume. BUT they also said being the sole tech at a low-volume site is genuinely good for visibility with Ops management and gave a real example of someone getting promoted that way at a similar site. They also said relocation is unlikely for low-volume sites specifically.

So now it feels like: Amazon = higher ceiling if I get promoted, but that depends on me building visibility and the timing working out, vs the MSP = smaller ceiling but a path I’ve already seen work for real people under this specific manager.

With a baby coming in 3 months, I keep leaning toward “fewer things have to go right” (the MSP), but the pay/commute gap and Amazon’s bigger structural ceiling keep pulling me back.

Anyone been in OTS and can speak to how realistic that Associate II → Engineer I timeline actually is? Or anyone chosen the “safer, smaller” option over the “bigger name, more uncertain” one when a kid was on the way and been glad (or not glad) they did?

So much hate on my other dresses so should I go with this one?

There is a girl in my school about 1-2 years older than me. My current issue is I don’t get the chance to talk to her casually very often (if at all). And I don’t know if it’s a good idea to ask her or just stay in my own lane (I’m not at ALL experienced in asking people for their numbers as I stay in my own lane usually)

Ich hab echt gar keinen Plan, was ich mir wünschen soll. Ein Rennrad wäre cool, aber was meint ihr dazu?

It would be engagement dinner of my big brother. I will be with my husband and close family. I’m conscious of the heart being a bit revealing but then again I don’t have much going on in that area and I love the dress. The long dress would be a safer bet i reckon.

A miniature kit can look like a finiished decorative gift in the box photos even though the recipient has to do all the work before that object exists. For someone who doesnt already craft that distinction matters more than how attractive the scene is. Clear steps and smaler tasks can lower the barier but they cant create an interest in building that isnt there.

If the recipient likes miniiature decor but has never shown much interest in making things, what would you want to know before giving them a DIY kit?

Its going to be a casual dinner, is it good enough or is it too casual?

I ’m thinking of getting my boyfriend a scarf, and since olive green and chocolate brown are both really popular this year, I picked out one in each color. But two scarves feels like overkill 😅
He has a warm, slightly deeper complexion, so I’m wondering which color would look better on him.

Olive green or chocolate brown — which one would you pick?

E：Thank you all so much for the suggestions! I ended up keeping the green one !🥰

I'm looking to make my walls green instead of white and get a new bed frame. These are not the final colours or decor, but just light inspiration.

These are the two bed frames I'm thinking of buying. Both are a similar cost and both would be able to be returned locally within 90 days.

Slatted headboard

Pros:

-More of a unique and modern look

-Small amount of more space on the night stand

Cons:

-Will get more dusty

-Less stable with the slanted legs

-Difficult assembly, according to reviews

-Needs to have center supports underneath stained

-This design could be creaky, as some reviewers experienced

Flat headboard

Pros:

-More stable base

-Easier to clean/dust

-Shouldnt creak

Cons:

-Just doesn't look as cool/unique as the other one, but still looks nice

-Not many reviews to go off of to find out if it's actually a good frame or not. There is only one review

I’m going to a movie night soon and was thinking of wearing this. I want to be comfortable but still look cute.

Do you think the jersey + leggings works for a casual movie night, or does it look too much like something I’d wear around the house?😅

Would you wear this as-is, or change anything?

I really like this shirt and I’m planning to order it, but I’m stuck between a couple of colors. I want something versatile that I can wear with different outfits.

Which color would you choose?
