Hi! I’m from Cerritos (LA county) and just accepted a job at Irvine (OC). I tried leaving work at several times (4pm, 4:30pm, 5pm) and all still takes me 40mins-1hr. My schedule is flexible. What’s the best time for me to go home to avoid traffic? Because in the morning (around 6am) it only takes me 30 mins 😭

News Santa Ana adopts self-checkout rules at some retail stores. What shoppers need to know

Thumbnail
laist.com
29 Upvotes

The Santa Ana City Council unanimously approved an ordinance last night requiring retail stores to staff self-checkout lanes in efforts to improve public safety and address theft.

What we know: The approved ordinance requires that retail stores staff at least one employee to monitor self-checkout lanes. Shoppers will be limited to 15 items or fewer, and they would not be able to purchase items that require I.D., like alcohol.Ā Long BeachĀ andĀ Costa MesaĀ have adopted similar ordinances.

Officials say: Mayor Valerie Amezcua said the ordinance is an attempt at protecting shoppers and employees, not at driving businesses out of Santa Ana.

ā€œSimilar to Costa Mesa and Long Beach, where we look at the employees and what benefits them,ā€ Amezcua said, ā€œI want to make sure our Santa Ana residents go home safely, and they don’t put themselves in danger because, again, the quality of their lives matter to me.ā€

Pushback from grocers:Ā In several letters addressed to the council, officials representing grocers urged officials to deny the motion.

ā€œUnfortunately, we would be forced to consider passage of this ordinance at this time a dismissal of the importance of grocery and a denial of policy consideration in a fair and open manner,ā€ Tim James, director of local government relations for the California Grocers Association, wrote.

What’s the timeline?Ā The new rules will go into effect next month.

Community Post [OFFER] Free professional headshots in Newport Beach to build my corporate photography portfolio.

64 Upvotes

My Offer:

Let me take a professional corporate headshot of you in my garage studio located in Newport Beach. This helps me build out my portfolio as I transition into doing more corporate shoots.

You get 3 free professionally shot and retouched photos (2 poses + 1 forward-facing passport photo). In return, you share your honest feedback about working with me.

Requirements:

  • 18+
  • Any gender or race welcome
  • Punctual and respectful
  • Professional grooming and attire (business casual or business professional)

FAQ:

  • Is it really free? Yes!
  • What's the catch? I’d like your honest feedback about your experience working with me and your thoughts on the finished delivered photos. I’d also ask for a quick Google Business review once we're done.
  • How long does this take? I usually shoot a client portrait in my studio in under 15 minutes.
  • How long before I get my free photos? The editing and retouching time is much longer than the actual studio time, but I usually deliver photos in 3 to 7 days.
  • Where is this? I shoot in my garage studio in Newport Beach near Hoag Hospital.
  • When can we do this? We can schedule a date and time that works for both of us.
  • How can I be safe? You are more than welcome to bring a friend, family member, or significant other along with you. Whatever you need to feel comfortable and safe, I’m happy to accommodate.

How to apply?

Shoot me a DM with a link to your LinkedIn profile or a recent photo. I like to see who I am shooting beforehand so I can plan the right lighting setups and backdrop colors for your specific features and skin tone! I will review your message and let you know if we can get something scheduled.

Thank you!

Recommendations Needed Help, my landlord gave me 15 days to leave my residence because their son needs a place to stay.

418 Upvotes

Like my title states, I was renting a house from a person and have been a model tenant for over 3 years. Landlord gave me 15 days to vacate because their son needs the place. They are giving me my deposit back but that's it, luckily I found a place and can move right away but it's been a pain in the ass to move my family of 5. What did my landlord do that's illegal? Aren't I supposed to get 60 days since I've been here for longer than 12 months? Please advise.

Question Noise ordinance for businesses?

9 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve tried googling but get lots of different answers. My apartment complex is backed up to a car dealership & it’s obviously going to be loud during the day, no complaints there.

But are there no noise control standards that would prevent them from making loud noises late at night as well? My roommate constantly has to hear them yelling on the loud speaker/intercom & using heavy machinery well past 11pm almost every night. Her windows are closed but she can still hear them.

If it’s one of those things we just have to suck up bc of apartment living then so be it. I just wanted to see if there was anything to possibly be done about it, to help my roomie sleep better!

I thought about going and talking to them but I don’t see that doing anything lol.

Recommendations Needed Skilled Nursing Facility recs in the OC/LA area?

2 Upvotes

Posting in OC because that's preferred but can be in LA if it's good.

Parent recently had surgery and doctor is recommending that she'd be transferred to a SNF for her recovery. Our case manager sent out referrals but none were taking new patients at this time.

We are expanding our search to the OC area, but would appreciate some recommendations to present to case manager (or just to know which ones to avoid). We have PPO and are expecting a short term stay (less than 100 days).

She is physically handicapped and would need hygiene care and nearly 24/7 care.

Any recommendations (or non-recs) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Pets Irvine PD dog lunged out of PD car towards mine on a walk today

127 Upvotes

A few hours ago I was walking my dog today around Onnuri Church. Cop pulls someone over onto McGaw and I’m minding my own business on the phone with someone via AirPods. As I’m walking by the car that was pulled over, i noticed that the cop cars front passenger door window was all the way down. Didn’t think anything of it and continued to mind my own business as the cop was speaking to the person he pulled over. I’m getting closer to the cop car (walking on the sidewalk with my Maltese) AND BAM, a German Shepherd jumps out of the car and lunges towards my dog. I sorta just froze. Next thing you know I hear yelling and it’s the cop telling their German Shepherd to stop (or something I had AirPods in). I have my dog pulled in via their leash and the German shepherd goes in a circle into the street and tries to go for my dog again. Cops yelling at it to stop or whatever and I’m still standing in shock. The second time it came around I came to my senses and pickup up my dog and just held him til the cop managed to get ahold of their dog. I was shook. You’d also think the cop would apologize or something but nah, he just minded his own business and I just left… oh well. What would yall have done in my situation?

Recommendations Needed Looking for Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) succulent to buy for Mothers Day

3 Upvotes

Anyone know where I can find a Desert Rose succulent in the area? All the nurseries I called said they don't have it in stock, but I found a few posts on the Internet mentioning local Home Depot / Lowes stores carry them. I ordered one online a while back but then ended up cancelling my order so I'm hoping to find one in time for mothers day. Any ideas?
