Driver's License Renewal

I recently received a notice to renew my driver's license.

I read in the instructions that I can apply online.

Does this mean I don't have to go to the DMV anymore to get a new photo taken?

I know my appearance will change after 5 years, but...

Is it normal to be able to do this online now?

Has it changed in Corona?

First time （ 5 years later ） renewal can be done online.
Second （ After 10 years ） you must go to the DMV for an eye exam. A photo will be taken at that time.

My headlights are starting to look like sliding glass and I want to do something about it myself, but I've seen so many things on YouTube and other places that I don't know what's best.
If anyone has actually done this and has any recommendations, I would be grateful for your advice.

Harassment in the Workplace

When I submitted a Formal Complaint for harassment at work, the treatment got worse.
They made a PIP^(Performance Improvement Plan ） and they listed all kinds of unreasonable things.
One of them is that I used to wait at work for an hour or two after work until the traffic calmed down before leaving, but now I'm being told to leave as soon as I finish work. I'm not applying for overtime pay, and if I have any work left to do, I just do it while I'm waiting. I understand that HR is the enemy.
What is the best place to get help with retaliation at work ？?

Not good. Showa-era Ototto lamented that everyone was not making enough effort to understand his opinions. I am really sorry. It seems that the only way to eliminate misunderstandings is to directly ask Ototsan himself. The fairest way is to give Ototsan himself a chance to explain himself. It is worthwhile to continue the exchange as if it were an exchange square.

Child sick, working mother ・ How is the father doing ？?

Question. Working mothers ・ What do fathers do when their children are absent from school due to illness ？

Do you have a sitter or other service ？ For example, if you suddenly find out your child is sick on the morning of school and need a sitter immediately, can you request a sitter on that day? ？

Also, what do you do when your child has a long break from school, such as spring break ・ summer break ・ Thanksgiving break ・ winter break ？ Do you leave your child at a day care or summer camp? ？

I would like to work while my child is in school, but I am worried because I have no family or relatives to turn to when my child is sick.

Working mothers ・ I would appreciate any advice from fathers. Please do.

I don't work, so I don't have to worry if my child suddenly gets sick, but I think it is really hard for working families when a child is sick. Thanks to Corona, some people have been able to choose to work remotely, but I think it's tough to work while watching a sick child.

My friend said that she just needed to finish her work, so she would spend time with her child during the day and check on her health, and then work alone at night. He also said that his body was not up to the task. He said that he could take paid holidays, but that would mean less time off when he goes to Japan, so he prefers not to use it as much as possible.

Another friend said she can't take her work home with her, so she takes her vacation with pay. My family has no one to rely on and my work doesn't bring in that much income, so I am a full-time housewife. My friend has a solid career and said that staying at home is not an option. I kind of admire that. I think it's cool.

I know.

I had it done about 5 years ago at my accountant's place and received an additional tax letter for about $4000.
I went to the accountant with the letter and he told me not to pay it
He filed an amended return without paying any additional money and I got about $1000 back.
I remember buying cream puffs to thank him for the $1000 or so I got back.

I am currently on a student visa, but my visa is due to expire this year, and I have heard that I can stay here legally as long as my I-20 is valid.
I would like to know if you have stayed in Japan with an I-20 after your visa expired （ and how long you stayed ） or if you know an immigration attorney who is familiar with F-1 visas

From Green Card Application to Obtaining a Green Card

I just recently applied for a green card by marriage through an attorney.

I joined the family in the summer of 2022, received my marriage certificate and immediately started the application process.
Eleven months later, my green card and work permit arrived at my house at the same time.
We were also supposed to receive our travel permits after fingerprinting, but we still have not received them.
We were also asked for additional documents due to incomplete paperwork （ That was a mistake on their part and there was no incomplete paperwork, but our lawyer provided us with documents to that effect ） so the process stopped there for about 2 months.
If nothing like that happened, we could get it within 6 months to a year ？.

We were US citizens ourselves and the wife's was F1.
We joined last March and applied straight away and finally received our EAD card and AP in November.

By the way, I got the interview notice right after that. I finished the interview last week and now I am waiting for the result.
Later we didn't go through a lawyer, so I hope it comes soon for Topi's side.

I think the reason strange people come to you is because you can't say no
I used to get tired of putting on a good face to people I didn't like, but
If I don't like this person when I first meet them, I usually end up not liking them afterwards
I try to focus on people I feel good with. I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't leave early, it's a hassle to get involved with my friends and acquaintances

Yes, that's right. It would be better if they did not start dating in the first place. It is true that such people do come close.

I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't get away from them early, it will be troublesome after they get involved with my acquaintances and friends
You're right. You can bring a friend without a car from the beginning and they say it's close,

stock self-responsibility. But I trust people right away. Whether it's an acquaintance or a brokerage firm.
You're not sure of yourself, but I'll be careful.
I will cut ties with people like #111 as fast as I can. I will not even enter into a light relationship here.

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.
