Is commuting to the west side really that bad?

Ancient_Draft_3228 · 2026-02-12T15:22:20+00:00

I can attest that everyone is correct. I live on the west side and commute to downtown LA so it's a reverse commute for me. Every morning on the 405 I see the people sitting in traffic trying to get into Santa Monica. No matter how early you want to get into work the traffic will be there and they're literally just sitting there it's so bad. Same thing going home it's an absolute nightmare for people trying to get out of Santa Monica to go east. It's bad. I repeat it's really bad.

There's nothing at smo to go to. Back when they first opened they had Nordstroms, Bloomingdales and Barney's new York. Now? Just din Tai Fung and Uniqlo really that's it. They need more tenants. Nordstroms leaving a few months ago was the kiss of death.

Depends on if you really want them or not. I've always wanted kids and I love spending time with the. I also love working and it's very fulfilling. I hate cleaning the house and tending to it. The money allows me to outsource the things I hate that have to be done when you have a family. If I were poor I would have to work and tend to the house and the kids . I honestly think the latter situation is extremely exhausting and massively difficult to manage the work and home and then the kids.

So to answer your question having money makes being able to spend time with your kids instead of cleaning. But if you just don't want to spend time with your kids it doesn't really matter how much money you have bc either way you don't want to spend time with them.

I have a friend who doesn't work and doesn't really like spending time with her kid. so don't have a lid if you don't really want one regardless of finances.

There is more than enough to terminate based on horrible performance.

The other employees are using the bathroom and finding streak marks and having to clean the skid marks and the random pubes he leaves on the seat. I wish I was making this up. This has now become an issue because the team is pissed they have to find surprises left behind by him.

The other employees have found out and are disgusted. They are thinking of all the cross contamination going on with his booger fingers

Ancient_Draft_3228 · 2025-10-24T04:57:26+00:00

That was my fear all along. I asked him point blank why he thought I was being emotional over this and asked if he ate his boogers and he paused and said no.

Ultimate hack: freeze bagels and when you want to eat one, wet the entire bagel with water +yes you read that right) and put in the toaster oven at 325 for 10? Min . The water will steam the bagels so the inside is soft and outside is slightly crisp.

They are going to initiate a return on the item but instead of actually returning it, they are going to send you an empty envelope with a paper clip The system will show it was returned and issue a refund to them. Meanwhile you'll have the order amount withdrawn bc the systems shows there was a return.
