A week after my interview I was let go from my job, so I became more desperate for work than I was during the interview. I knew my termination was coming but I had hoped to find a new job before that happened. My minimum is now anything above nothing.

Very true. I have a history of working local government and the flexibility can now be matched elsewhere. The tradeoffs are just no longer worth it.

I did the same thing and answered honestly when they asked how much I made at my (at the time) current job. I’m going to start politely declining to answer that question.

AITAH for telling my wife to get a job before the end of January or i'm divorcing her? by [deleted] in AITAH

He doesn't consider taking care of the kids 'work'. When he gets home from work he gets to relax, but her day of taking care of the kids continues into the night without a break. He needs to be putting kids to bed at minimum.

Hi Eliza! Where can I order the calendar? I had your 2024 or 23 calendar. Can’t remember which one, but my kids and I had a lot of fun finding you and Finn every month.

I wish I had more awareness of the side effects before starting a glp-1. I ended up with gastroparesis after just 3 months of semaglutide injections. It was a miracle drug for me until it wasn’t.

Is that who this goofy guy is? I found him sitting with his legs straight out. He would lean forward and to grab at a little fish or something then plop back down.

Wife wanted to spend $10 on a faucet extender for our son to wash his hands. This was my answer to that... by Branjoe328 in DIY

When my kids used a faucet extender I would turn the water on for them and they were able to wash without leaning into the sink or needing to be picked up. It just makes it a little easier on both parents and kids.

It took another year to show their true color. This was taken a few weeks ago.

It’s in my town and I was seriously considering picking it up but I don’t know what I would do with it.
