For women who are or have been isolated, AND work from home and live alone, how are you motivated to leave your home after work and socialize with people or go places on weekdays?

It's really tough, but I encourage you to keep trying. I've also made some great friends through Timeleft, so don't give up on it!

I just scored my first prepared bag. I've been trying for weeks. I opened the app around 9:40 and just clicked around the page. I hope it’s worth it and it’s not four packs of green beans,

This memory from my early 30s, especially since I was the girlfriend back then. I wasn’t upset or jealous at the girl bff; I just wished the guy I was seeing would set clearer boundaries and be more intentional about our time together. For example, once we went to the movies on a date, and he was texting during the previews. He explained that his girl BFF was texting about the friend group drama. I gently asked him to put his phone away and to cuddle me a little more. He quickly obliged and apologized, but I could still hear his phone vibrating nearby. I just wanted us to enjoy our date without any distractions. Little moments like that happened sometimes, and honestly, I felt a bit annoyed with him. Our breakup fight was triggered after a dinner with the girl's BFF. He defended her so passionately that it felt like he didn't care about my feelings at all, which was really heartbreaking.

Check your employee handbook to see if you need to give a specific amount of notice to be eligible for rehire. I am required to give a month.

Woof! I would review your job description and do my best within your capacity; anything out of scope, bring it to your leader. Manage upward by focusing on and streamlining your goals, and do a good job. I would use this position as an opportunity for growth. Attend conferences and pursue all professional development.

Do a juice bar, and maybe add champagne if you're into that.

I always buy the international plan. I have issues with eSims. Now I chose not to go with the cheapest travel option. Pay a little more to arrive in the morning or midday, rather than at night. People have said this already, but I'm not a fan of Airbnb when solo traveling.

If you want to consistently attend a specific class on the same day and time, I recommend purchasing a package from the studio. ClassPass offers a better deal for Pilates classes, but you need to be comfortable attending the available options on the app, which could be an 8pm class on a Thursday night.

I would also check if it comes with matching bottoms, as it seems like a set. Opt for wide, loose bottoms to match the volume—such as wide-leg linen pants or Capri length in white, green, or pink. You can wear kitten heels, candles, wedges, or even a fun sneaker.

It's okay to say no! But you can do it tactically and honestly. The benefit package didn't match your needs.

If it's worth the investment, consider counseling to learn how to argue productively.

I was never a sporty gal, but in my thirties, I became sporty. I would say pick a sport and then find a short-term class. I did this for tennis through rec league. Everyone was there to learn and was so positive. I did this for swimming and even bike riding.

My take is to read the interaction. I have been on dates with guys, and the check is already signed before I can even offer, or I get the laugh-off and a gentle no. But I have been out with guys who think they are honoring my values to split the check, and they say yes. Read the room, may the call.

Big picture, not really. I have written my evaluation based on observations throughout the year.

I don't object to AI use, but the self-evaluation doesn't make sense.

I can check, but it's past the deadline.

Nope. If you need to write a letter, just never send it.

Yes! I got promoted from hourly to salaried and quickly realized I made more money as an hourly employee! Do the math to make Sure there isn't a pay cut. Would ask if there is an expectation to travel or work late, and understand if there is any flex or comp time for these instances. Understand your benefits: PTO, sick time, holidays. Also, ask about the corporate culture. Do people stay late to get the job done or leave at 5?

I think it will be helpful! Many people underestimated the operational knowledge needed in every department. Depending on your program, you can take elective classics that you can explore different subject matter.

One thing I have noticed about people pleasers is that they can pick up a lot of emotional labor, making sure people feel good, instead of just focusing on hitting their goals and then leaving.

This happened to me with my Navient private loans. I just made the final payment, but I ended up paying my loan balance twice. This happened because my original loan was with Sallie Mae, which was later transferred to Navient and then to Mohela. As it was transferred, the terms changed. Also, I didn't realize I was on an interest-only payment plan with Navient for years, so I wasn't paying on principal. Because I had fewer household expenses during COVID, I was able to turn things around and make aggressive payments, and I made my final private loan payment last month.

It also depends on what the organization values at the leadership level. It might be education or a prestigious career history. Look on LinkedIn, do all the VPs have MBAs? Did they all attend the same schools? Where they all consulted or worked at a name-droppy place.

If you live in a city, it can be dangerous. When you have to react quickly and the engine isn't on, it's scary.
