The chandelier I had a handyman install fell out of its holdings. I texted the handyman about it twice, and he keeps ghosting me. 
Any idea how I can fix it? It appears the plastic things the screws screwed into broke. They are blue, and this picture is directly up into the place where the chandelier goes.
Hear me out….burger bowls. Just classic burger seasonings, chop up some tomato and lettuce and cheese, maybe make a copycat in n out sauce??
Thanks for the ideas! I came up with idea of thanksgiving type seasonings on my own with roasted cauliflower, ground beef, and a base of either roasted or mashed sweet potato. Now I have to decide which is a whole other problem, hah.
sounds like a good time to just put in one of your fancy disco ball-looking light fixtures!
I do have one that hasn’t found a home yet. But this is in Daughter’s room. She was gifted that chandelier (thanks again, @Meowmalade!) and she painted it gold and is kind of attached to it.
Oh that’s right! Well in any case your handyman is silly
I was gonna say! So burger bowl, I love to do ketchup, mustard, and nutritional yeast to make a sauce. Do the SP, beef, a fried egg, and some chopped pickle or dill relish. Sometimes I’ll grab lettuce and munch it boat style, or just as a bowl. A fun way to mix up burgers.
Ooof. I’d guess that whole junction box needs replaced, so you’re in for drywall repair too. I hope that’s not the case, but I don’t see a way around that if I’m looking at that right? Electrician time unless you’re a very confident DIYer. Good time to verify it’s on a joist if you’re going to put a heavy chandelier in it, too.
ETA oh wait is this upstairs? Do you have attic access? Depending on where it is it might be replaceable from above which would be handy.
I’m seeing some stuff saying basically, depending on how much depth left you can just use longer screws, but you’d def want a lighter fixture then.
I have a coworker doing a destination wedding next year, and she is also doing a very small local ceremony for legal purposes for immediate family that cannot travel. I will not be attending either of these. She is having an engagement party next month that I will make an appearance at.
What is protocol for gifts with this situation since it is so spread out?
Follow up questions I’d wanna know if I were making the decision:
The party is at my bosses (her dad) cottage on a lake. I have worked here since she was 6 months old, she has worked here for 8? years and will be taking over in a couple of years. We have like 4 total people here, so we are basically together all day every day. I think we will all do separate gifts but I haven’t talked to anyone else about it. Are we friends? Eh, I suppose so. We don’t spend time outside of work, but she shares ALL aspects of her life so I know everything about her. Ha.
I am not sure that really answered your questions! 
Oooh good curveball with her being the bosses daughter!
I would be tempted to gift a thing at the engagement party and money at the wedding time but honestly boss’ daughter who is a close coworker at a tiny company is a hot mess of protocol
Oh. - this changes things (boss’s daughter and future boss). Depending on how much you know about her likes and interests - I would probably feel obligated to spend more than I would otherwise for a coworker.
Would she like a gift card to s fancy restaurant? Couples spa experience?
Yeah… bosses daughter/current coworker/future boss. It’s fun. And her fiance just started working here too. I have worked with/for both of her grandparents, both of her parents, and now her and her fiance. 
Yes to a fancy meal, should all of us go together on it so they can actually get a full meal/drinks/dessert and not have to add their own money to it? She likes massages, I am not sure about him so food is probably better.
How much would you all spend? I asked a coworker and he said he thought $50, I think $100. I have no idea what the 3 other employees will think, but probably no more than $50 each. I can ask. The engagement party is in a month, the destination wedding is a year out.
At least $100 - this of course depends on your own money situation ( like don’t sacrifice paying bills to do this).
I would actually spend less on a boss/boss’child than a regular coworker…
If 5 of us each do $50 (which I’m not sure about yet) a $250 card should do dinner, dessert and nice wine. And if not, they can add to it to get fancy wine.
Well ideally - yes (gifts at work should flow down, not up) - but this is a small family business and could have very blurred boundaries. This is the likely future boss, this is sucking up (in my mind). If you genuinely like them, it softens the “blow”.
Big corporation, you likely wouldn’t be invited to anything unless there was a shower at work. Even if you were invited a pooled gift or token gift should be fine.
I think all coworkers should coordinate so nobody gives drastically more or less than the rest. As long as it’s consistent your bases are covered.
Same.
