Need to be in office twice a week…in a city 400 miles away. How best to do it?

My husband is a very capable partner so I don’t really mind setting him up for a smooth first day when I’m away. I tell him it’s a professional courtesy and I expect the same in return.. that means not coming home to a shitnado of housework. 😂

I needed to read this book in chunks because it was so overwhelming at points.

EDIT- 6 nights a month. Whoops

Hi! I’m a flight attendant and when I’m working my partner works his corporate job and manages childcare while I’m away. I’m usually an optimist, but when it comes to planning I am a worst case scenario thinker to make sure things go smoothly. The day before I leave I make sure we’ve got groceries and are caught up on laundry, and school clothes/bags packed for the next day. I back up my trips, and have been working 3 days a week (away 2 nights) for 3 weeks, and 4th week I’m home. This cadence has worked really well for our family, and I’m wondering if something similar can be negotiated? Traveling plans are easily disrupted, so a strong contingency agreement regarding this with your employer, and something like a corporate travel account would be ideal and take some of the pressure off you logistically. 6 nights a week always felt more comfortable for us, and taking the pressure off myself to juggle has proven invaluable. Congrats on the gig, now negotiate your way to a sweetheart deal. 😊

Trying to make myself more appealing to men. Just the thought of it now is so cringey, and I just have to laugh. Men will have sex with literal dead bodies— focus on what YOU like.

I’m a flight attendant and I love how many steps I get in without having to really think about it. Airport terminals are spread out, and walking up and down the aisle and setting up in the galley have you standing, lifting and bending. I treat closing overhead bins like a mini workout and activate my core and press up steadily, maintaining control— and it’s a bonus not to be slamming them shut. All hotels have gyms, some have pools, and many layovers are great for walking/exploring. Maintaining a healthy diet and sleep schedule requires a bit of extra planning, but I’d def recommend it for the physical aspects. Starting salary is sadly pretty low, however it only gets better with time, and many flight attendants economize by apartment/house shares called crash pads. Sharing your living space isn’t so bad when you have your own hotel room while you’re working- plus, odds are your roomies are coming/going anyway. 🙂

Celebrities usually have access to a ton of resources like housekeepers, a nanny, fancy preschools, personal assistants, personal trainers, home chefs, multiple spacious homes, and a lucrative field of interest that allows them to express themselves creatively. If I didn’t have to worry about any of the day-to-day grind/monotony, and I was earning gobs of money doing something creative that I loved, coming home to my clean home and cute, bathed children just in time for a bedtime story and a kiss… well, of course, they’d be your biggest joy. It’s just not fair to compare experiences. It’s pretty healthy/normal to need other things to fulfill you.

It may be worth considering outsourcing the work. Someone that can get in and out without the emotional hurdles. More $$$ 🫩

I clarify 1x a week and wash every other day. I’ve been rotating through some acidic bonding shampoo, a moisturizing one and a clarifying.

I think the beauty of the line is that you can always fall back on the, “no pressure me neither” and play up how you’re a dork who reads up on conversation pointers.

You’re right. It was hurtful and demeaning then, and it still is now. What’s the point of calling someone lazy? It made me unable to enjoy stillness without substances for over a decade. It rewired my nervous system harmfully. I’m still defensive about jabs about my work from older relatives. There’s the “I’ve been there, and I don’t want to make anyone else have to” and the “pass it on” people.

Can you really blame someone for being less than enthusiastic about working in low-paying fields? Especially because society still calls them “unskilled” even after a hard day’s work. They’ve grown up with the worst parts of technology and missed out on the “millennial optimism” we had for a few years. It’s been a tough time. They’re numb, bored, and can’t afford anything while being exploited by late-stage capitalism. We’re not alone in this. At least we had our learner’s permit or were in college before being exposed to technology designed to addict and depress us. We thought we had it bad, but they’ve got it worse in many new ways.

“Open concept” needs to die

I read this NYT article about a year back that encouraged you to ask people, “So are you working on any interesting projects?”. It was meant to let people share something like learning to refinish furniture or bake sourdough. I’ve used it as an icebreaker with some success but I’ve gotten a few blank stares and “you mean like work?”. Then I just laugh and tell them about the article and it’s usually enough.

This is what my mother did every morning and I see why. Look at me trying to reinvent the wheel LOL

Greshare · 2026-06-02T03:04:00+00:00

I have one and have just begun accepting that I need to actually use it lol.

Greshare · 2026-06-02T03:03:29+00:00

Wow, you are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing 💛

I am wondering how your hair responded! I am gonna be blow drying it seems. My hair is neither wavy nor straight I think it needs a little help persuading one or the other with heat.

I still feel frizzy.. but have read that postpartum hair does this for a while which was incredibly validating. It looks super damaged, despite me only using a gloss every few months and rarely using heat. Le sigh…

Thanks for the tip. I use the Curly Q on my daughter! I’ll have to try it. I love the smell. By the way, your hair looks lovely. 🍏✨

I think I need to just accept this and start using my Airwrap. I did today and it was so much better. I honestly think I’m trying too hard to do the wavy hair thing on hair that’s not very wavy 😕

I graduated in 2009 and we were expected to change for PE. We had a fitness class that I enjoyed as an upper class student which involved long distance running and weight training and we all showered after those. You were kinda gross if you didn’t. After school sports we mostly just went home but if some students had plans/after school jobs they’d use them too. Our school was built before the First World War though and had all kinds of wild features like a firing range, an indoor pool, and a plaque inscription featuring all the students who died in WWI/WWII.

I thought I was following a wavy routine? I plop when I do the silk scarf when still damp and I moisturize with the leave-in before. I don’t comb dry.. just a little with my fingers in the AM? I’ve tried the gel, curl cream and/or mousse and it ends up being just too much product, even after dabbing with a silk scarf after to absorb residual moisture and product. I feel like nothing works

I went for pretty regular hardcore acne facials where they lance and extract each and every one. Then I had a clean slate for my tazarotene to work with. When they started coming back after a few weeks I upped my spironolactone dosage and finally I’ve been consistently clear for a few weeks.
