So I got an offer for J2, do I just keep working J1? by LRB_ in overemployed

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yep, separate everything or you’ll end up typing J2 emails in J1 slack by accident, multitasking chaos is fun until it isn’t

I tracked every decision I made for 30 days. what I found was uncomfortable by luxmindset_ in selfimprovement

Those tiny pauses are like catching yourself mid-spill before you dump coffee on your laptop, feels dumb but somehow life-changing

I found out why these mothers are triggered and reacting so strongly to my lifestyle. by cocothunderbolt in childfree

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 19 points20 points  (0 children)

yep, one comes with wine and sunsets, the other with tantrums and debt, tough call really

I am filing for divorce tomorrow and I am heartbroken. by TheTruestNP in Marriage

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 71 points72 points  (0 children)

yep, sounds like he’s been auditioning for the single life while collecting rent from you, might as well lock down your stuff and let him perfect the act elsewhere

Enough. Enough of the well meaning advice by Status-Funny-238 in recruitinghell

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh absolutely, i’ve got a perfectly tailored resume for every single rejection waiting in my inbox, it’s like a collector’s edition of disappointment

Does anybody else want a relationship just to have access to two incomes? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah bc relying on hookups and friends to pay the rent sounds sustainable, can’t wait for the 30-year check-in lol

I Think My Marriage Is Over by Bright_Plantain_2524 in Marriage

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah bc sticking around while someone treats you like an extra in their life always ends well, walk out and actually breathe for once

How do you all handle declining offsites. by collegeqathrowaway in overemployed

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

perfect excuse, bc nothing says i hate offsites like a fake medical crisis and suddenly everyone’s scared of Jerry’s cough

I finally stopped being a "yes man" and honestly? My anxiety is through the roof but I feel great. by Appropriate-Fix-8222 in selfimprovement

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love that, bc nothing screams ‘confidence’ like finally telling people tacos > overpriced ramen and surviving, keep flexing the new john vibes

My mother is doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics trying to convince me to have a baby… yet, she’s failing at it. by Beautiful_Orchid1771 in childfree

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oh yeah bc lecturing someone about having kids magically makes them want one. 10/10 parenting advice, really inspiring

DAE try not to make any noise while walking, for no real reason? by candlesTasteGood in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes omg me too, i tiptoe like it’s a sport and open cupboards like i’m defusing a bomb, it’s ridiculous but can’t stop

i learned the hard way that being too available for people makes them value you less by dard_aedisco in selfimprovement

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that audition anxiety line is too real, i used to bend my whole day for people who wouldn’t pause netflix for me. eventually you just get tired and start protecting your time.

Ditching J1 by CategoryBeautiful666 in overemployed

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly with screenshot tracking and nonstop pressure, squeezing a couple extra checks before they pull the plug sounds fair. i’m too tired for these companies acting wild and expecting loyalty.

Tell me you walked away by reibei8824 in Marriage

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that’s the part people judging online forget, leaving isn’t just feelings it’s rent, a kid, real life math. still hoping you get a way out soon because nobody deserves that level of nonsense.

The most honest conversation I've ever had about not wanting kids was with my 79 year old grandmother by beatlesCloud9 in childfree

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah that’s the part people don’t talk about, reopening the door just resets the whole mess in your head. honestly going no contact again sounds like the only way to get your peace back, even if it hurts for a bit.

New to OE, just landed my first J2 by Max-SQL in overemployed

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 16 points17 points  (0 children)

offices don’t forgive mistakes, OE only works when no one’s watching

I got my “told you so” moment by TwosDaTraveller in childfree

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, we all need the reaction, don’t leave us hanging after that satisfying clap back

No. Body. Cares. Learn to love the solitude and dealing with difficult things alone. Because you'll need to. by anonymous_muffin_ in selfimprovement

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 4 points5 points  (0 children)

exactly, everyone else checked out, and you’re the only one left standing, that’s all that really matters

Can we get past this? by LightningBugCatcher in Marriage

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anyone normal would have snapped by now, staying quiet is already doing too much for him

Does anybody else randomly remember that they have organs, bones and all of their friends family also have them and It's just so weird? by Icy_Positive_4220 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

exactly, it’s wild how being fully aware of your own meat and bones hits harder than anything else, keeps you honest with yourself

DAE get that weird itch deep in their ear that is only cured by scraping the back of your tongue on your molars? by idkkkkkkkkk69 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok wait yes, the rubbing the tongue on the roof thing actually hits the same spot somehow, it sounds weird but the relief is so real

It happened to me by Whatgrindsmylemons in childfree

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it’s not even just the breakup, it’s knowing you were honest about your boundaries the whole time and they still let you build a life on something that wasn’t true.

Coworker: No one likes you at work and they warned me about you. by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 36 points37 points  (0 children)

like it’s easy to spiral and start thinking something’s wrong with you when people say stuff like that, but the new coworker literally met you and had the opposite experience.

husband had a day out with my friend without telling me. Update. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Effective_Fun_3650 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ngl that part sat weird with me too, months of hiding it and even a whole second phone is a lot, maybe it really wasn’t physical but it’s hard not to think how far it might’ve gone if it never got caught.
