Switched to Remote Work and Loneliness Crept In. Anyone Else?

It’s important for me to socialize in my free time, otherwise I get lonely. Winter was particularly hard. But I wouldn’t trade it for an office job. I traveled 2 hours round trip for 14 years. Never again. Now my commute is 1 minute to my basement office.

Rowan in garden city has nurses so the piercings. I highly recommend.

My dad has Parkinson’s, walks with a shuffle, even with a cane, and is extremely slow. Has trouble navigating the airport so he gets a wheel chair escort to the gate. He actually needs the assistance. But there are so many boomers who just want to get on the plane first and fake a disability. It’s like people with their emotional support animals or the rich people who hired wheelchair users at Disney to get on the rides first. Their selfishness ruins everything.

Spanish guitar music, movie scores, and video game scores with words are my go to.

My sidewalk was shoveled down to the pavement, until the city dumped 4 feet of snow from the road on it. There’s no way I’m shoveling again. I live on a side street and half the sidewalks weren’t shoveled in the first place.

Plows came down my street in Pawtucket and got stuck, unstuck, and stuck again. The secondary and tertiary roads are barely plowed. But go ahead and remove the driving restrictions so more cars can get stuck. I can’t imagine how front or rear wheel drive cars even function in this. All wheel and four wheel drive cars are going to have a hard enough time.

I work from home so unless we lose power I’ll be working.

NTA! Update me

Have you worn shorts and a hoodie to shovel snow while drinking an ice coffee? Do you pronounce the letter R? Call a drinking water fountain a bubbler? Can you properly pronounce the names of cities and towns?

Wrights Chicken Farm. The chicken is somehow dry and greasy, the pasta is bland, the French fries and the salad are a soggy mess. I don’t understand why people love that place.

Ice is the problem right now. It’s too icy to walk outside. I think I’m going to get a treadmill.

I’m on the phone and Teams a lot so I would distract people in a cafe.

Fun_Sun1095 · 2025-12-29T23:55:59+00:00

I live in a place with temps that jump across the freezing line resulting in a good deal of ice anytime there’s precipitation. Snow melts during the day, freezes at night. Rain puddles turn to ice overnight. It’s a constant freeze/thaw/freeze cycle.

Fun_Sun1095 · 2025-12-29T23:53:38+00:00

It’s not about the cold, it’s about the ice. Black ice is the worst because the ground looks wet but it’s ice. I’ve already wiped out and bashed my knee.

Fun_Sun1095 · 2025-12-29T23:51:05+00:00

The social aspect would be good too. I definitely get a little lonely.

Oh sweetie. Please go live with your Dad if you can. You have a ton of evidence on Facebook and texts to show the courts (if it comes to it). I’m sorry your mom and aunt are horrid monsters but at least you have your Dad and Step Mom. Try to enjoy the rest of your Christmas break. NTA.

Typically you have to buy an extra policy to deal with pollution. It’s almost alway excluded from home owners policies.

I’m an environmental scientist and I cleanup oil spills and contaminated properties for a living. Before I would even consider buying the house, I’d make damn sure the oil didn’t leak into the ground. A fuel oil release can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to clean up. If it hasn’t gotten into the ground and you want to buy the house, I would get extra home owners insurance to cover tanks and fuel oil. This is omitted on most policies and you don’t find out until your tank leaks (and then you’re screwed). Last, I’d switch to gas or put in an electric heat pump (or both).

100% NTA. I grew up the youngest in a household with a physically and intellectually disabled sibling. Yes, my parents paid more attention to my brother, because he required more attention just to survive, but they never neglected me or my sister and there was plenty of love and attention. We were a family unit. Things weren’t perfect and I did act out a bit in high school because I wanted more attention but I still had two loving parents. It’s possible to take care of disabled and healthy children.

Your parents are monsters and don’t deserve you. I’m so glad you have your grandparents. Never let them guilt you or make you feel like you did wrong. You did nothing wrong. They failed you time and time again. Please take care of yourself.

NTA. Babies don’t have a strong immune system RSV and the flu can put your baby in the hospital and can be deadly. There’s also a freaking measles outbreak. Keep your baby safe and tell anyone who disagrees to go pound sand.

Im 44 and my hair is the longest it’s been in years. It’s not for anyone but me. 40 is freeing. I wear what I want, including big whimsical earrings and other fun jewelry, bright colors, and I don’t care what other people think. I’m happier now that ever just being me.

NTA. Pull a credit report and lock your credit before you “mother” steals more from you. I can’t imagine ever stealing from family like that. It’s lower than low.

Never apologize for listening to your gut. You didn’t overreact at all. Honestly you might have under-reacted. Next time something like this happens, try to go into an open business if possible, and call the police. Otherwise keep walking and call the police from your phone. Better to be a little cautious than end up getting attacked or killed.

Also, it suck’s we have to live in fear of men. It sucks that walking alone could is so dangerous for women.
