I reached out to this company through Yelp for a project quote and specifically explained that I…read morehave fragrance sensitivities and needed to confirm accommodations before booking. Initially, communication was responsive. I was told what services were included and that the day I wanted was completely open. However, when I mentioned I needed to call back before confirming, I was suddenly told availability might not remain open, which felt somewhat high pressured. When I called back, I was informed I needed to sign a waiver related to my sensitivities. I completed the waiver promptly, but I never received clear follow-up confirmation to finalize the booking. I followed up later that same day and again over the next two days by phone, but received no response or update. I completely understand if a company decides they can't accommodate a request, but losing communication with a potential customer after having them complete paperwork felt unprofessional. A simple "we're unable to move forward" would have been appreciated. Their pricing was also on the higher end compared to other companies I contacted. I ultimately hired another cleaner who had excellent communication, respected my fragrance sensitivities, and did impeccable work. Sharing this so others, especially people with fragrance sensitivities or accommodation needs, know that communication may be inconsistent.

Then I spent a lot of time preparing a summary of my case and then they decide not to take on the case based on being too busy? All attorneys caseloads full?? You'd think they would've told you that in the beginning that they can't take on new cases? This has happened with a couple of other law firms as well. And they won't give an answer Why?? This is very unprofessional. I asked if they could put me on a waitlist and they said no once they've not taken the case they don't take it in the future?? So there's some ulterior motive here? Then they referred me to a few people that left their firm and formed their own firm and they did the same thing?

People cheat. I know that. When I took my CBEST test years ago, we teachers could not wear a…read moresweater, unless it was a pullover. We had to put any purses or bags in a pile in the back of the room. But, that was before the tech area. People still cheat because now you sign up online, have to have your name on a list downstairs and show the building attendants your identification. Then you go into the elevator they tell you to and they push the button for you to go to your floor. There are no buttons in the elevator!!! Once on your floor you arrive, have to show your name, give them your ID, promise to give them your first newborn and allow them to draw a pint of blood and wait while they test it! Just kidding!!! Actually, you do show the ID and do a palm scan, fill out paperwork and sign some papers. They you go to a locker and put everything that isn't nailed down into it. Phones, glasses, purses, bags, etc. And the phone has to be turned off. Then you go to one of two rooms where you have to sign another form (I think). If you have glasses, they have to go onto a checker or something (it was a round pad). Alternatively, you may need to leave them there. I don't wear my glasses when working on a computer. Once at the room again, I had to do a hand scan. I also had to turn my pockets inside out, which is where I found the penny. I had a choice to give it to them to hold or put it in my locker. My money went into the locker. One day, I had a cardigan on (where I found the lone penny) and she patted my back to make sure nothing was in there. The woman said, "you have no idea what we've seen." I said, "I believe it. I went to college and those rich kids were masters at cheating." Anyway, you go into a room and sit at the computer they tell you to. Then you read that there is a camera on you and a microphone. Not surprised, but three tests over two days and I passed. Yay!!! The other good thing is I don't have to go back! Yay, again! Another good thing is that they have testing on the weekends. So my first two tests were on Saturday, the day after I called in to sign up for the test. I had to reschedule my next test and was able to do it easily. I appreciated this and the convenience even though I had to nearly give up an arm and a leg.

Once inside the center, you'll take a number and wait to be called to the counter. Staff will ask for your ID and confirm which test you're taking. Be prepared to follow strict rules: no phones, drinks, or food are allowed inside, and you'll need to store these items in a locker. They'll also ask you to remove jackets, so dress appropriately for the conditions inside. The workers are very stern and keep everything professional and efficient, which helps maintain a focused environment for testing. Overall, the center runs smoothly if you follow instructions, but don't expect a warm, relaxed atmosphere - it's very much about business here.

Pixar Animation Studios is less of a tourist attraction and more of a pilgrimage site for animation…read morefans. We drove up to the campus knowing that this is where films like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Up, and Inside Out were created, and simply standing outside the property carried a certain weight if those movies were part of your childhood. The studio grounds are private and not open for public tours, so the experience is naturally limited, but the location still holds plenty of significance because of what was created here. The most recognizable sight is the Luxo Jr. lamp and Pixar ball near the entrance. Even from outside the property, seeing these symbols in person created an immediate connection to the studio's history. The campus itself is beautifully maintained, with clean architecture, landscaped grounds, and a design that reflects the creativity associated with Pixar's films. We spent a few minutes at the entrance, taking in the details and imagining the work that happens behind those walls. Expectations are important here. There are no public exhibits, interactive experiences, or visitor facilities. Most people will spend only a few minutes at the entrance before moving on. The appeal comes entirely from the studio's legacy rather than the amount there is to do on site. If you are lucky, you may be able to go on the tour, but it can be tough to secure one, and it is not something to count on for a casual visit. For dedicated Pixar fans, that is often enough. Seeing the place where some of the most influential animated films of the last several decades were made provides a sense of connection that goes beyond a typical sightseeing stop. It is not a destination worth building an entire day around, but it can be a fun and memorable detour for anyone who grew up with Pixar movies. The significance of the location carries the experience, and for those who appreciate the studio's work, the short stop feels meaningful.

Huge shoutout to our amazing host, Natalie Lyon, for making the experience extra special. She was so warm and welcoming, and it was awesome to see the place through the eyes of someone who clearly loves what she does. We geeked out over the iconic Luxo Jr. lamp and ball, wandered through inspiring spaces filled with artwork and storyboards, and got a behind-the-scenes look at the kind of storytelling magic that has shaped so many of our favorite films. Also--note to future visitors: the merch store is dangerously good. We didn't leave empty-handed. If you ever get the chance to visit Pixar, go! It's pure magic, and it made us feel like wide-eyed kids all over again.
