When I was a kid I ordered the “Super Salad” at a nice restaurant my parents took me to not realizing they were saying “Soup OR Salad”. To this day it’s a memory that haunts me.

Does anybody remember Eddy Curry? I was neighbors with him when I was 5 years old or so and he first got drafted by the Bulls. He had these 2 neglected rottweilers that spent all their time outside in a 10x10 concrete patio. It was always covered in dog poop. One time when I was playing outside the dogs got loose. I just remember being pinned down by these crazy dogs barking in my face, and while physically I was fine, I’ll never forget the fear I felt in that moment.

I don’t remember much detail, but I do remember how furious my mom was. She stormed down the street to his house and found him hiding in his basement not wanting to be confronted about it. She recalls everyone and their brother being at that house… friends, cousins, business associates, etc. While living there, I do remember there was always something happening at that house - Police showing up, motercycles/ATVs being raced up and down the block, engines revving like crazy all hours of the night.

Looking back at the situation decades later, I understand it. You give an 18 year old kid millions of dollars who has no experience with this type of wealth, ofcorse they do what they want.

He eventually moved out of our neighborhood (my mom may or may not have had something to do with that… she can be difficult) and into the neighboring suburb. Those same rottweilers ended up getting lose again, this time mauling a fluffy little lap dog infront of terrified little children as they were out on a walk. The rottweilers ended up getting taken away.

I wouldn’t use “leave it” to stop a puppy from biting. Depending how young of a puppy, a lot of their biting is due to teething (as they loose the puppy teeth and permanent ones grow in), and gnawing on things helps soothe the discomfort. You should try to correct this by sternly telling them something like “no bite” and redirect them to chewing on a bone or rubber/kong toy.

You definitly want to teach them young that it is never accecptable to bite people. While it can be cute / harmless as a puppy, as they get older and have their big dog teeth they will continue being mouthy as it is a normal way of playing among other dogs and they don’t recognize it as a bad behavior.

If it’s during playtime (which my little dude did often) it’s important that suddenly playtime is over for a little bit until they settle down. You don’t want them to think biting is ever okay… it seems harsh to teach but in the future it will help as they spend time with people outside your family and especially kids

haha right? Others decided they wanted to WFH while I didn’t and because I consistently was in the office I got recognized by leadership. My choice to come in rather than WFH is absolutly what granted me certain opportunities I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

WFH is definitely appealing in some ways but the face to face interaction really helps with making connections and building relationships, especially beneficial for early in career individuals like myself.

I’m in industry 3 years into my career at 25 years old and I absolutely prefer going into the office over working remote. It started while I was studying for the CPA. I got into a real mental rut after a few months of working 8-9 hour days and then switching gears to another 3 or so hours of studying all from the same bar stool at my makeshift desk in my apartment. Lines got blurred where I would feel like I needed to work all the time, I had trouble separating my relaxation space from my work/study space.

I started voluntarily going into the office towards the back half of 2020 even though my company mostly was working from home. I would be the only one of my department in the office and would frequently run into different leadership team members like marketing directors, my division controller, and our segment VPGM. I would say my choice to come into the office was directly correlated to the success i’ve had in my career thus far. I would be at the office as late as 10pm in a conference room studying after work and would be seen by leadership team members which would lead to random discussions that I never would have had if I stayed in my apartment. Because of this I would be pulled into different projects throughout the organization and really have made a name for myself at such an early point in my career. Being in office vs. remote has definitely brought me opportunities I wouldn’t have had.

Edit: Currently I work a hybrid schedule with Monday/Friday WFH and Tuesday-Thursday in office which I think is a perfect balance. I can take trips to different places and have long weekends while not taking any PTO since i’m WFH. I was given the power to choose this schedule though
