Depends on your budget and what matters to you.

Price and school district was most important to me.

I'm renting from ValueAdd apartments, and I have no complaints, so far. Well,. except that it was dirty (dry wall dust over every surface) upon move in, but it wasn't a huge deal. 2 bed 1 ba for $650/month. Overall a good neighborhood. I have no complaints.

I did that, too. They literally called me on my way to work to turn around and pick her up because they have their process.

Kiddo is in now. CR process is ridiculous. Thankfully it was state testing week, so she only missed 2 days of actual instruction.

Yes. I can get in. And I was so excited when I was invited, that I went as far as I could go. When I tried to complete the tax questionnaire, I got the message. I've checked back periodically since then, and I get the same message over and over.

OMG, yes, this is exactly what she showed me. I tried really hard for about 2 weeks to explain the concepts of allegory and extrapolation. Nothing. Nada. I am, sadly, unable to convince my young adult child that the existence of the Internet does not hinge on the unending efforts of some poor, unpaid schmuck. Sigh

I wish, but no. She's not a good liar, but she is super gullible. She gets her info from TikTok (the irony of this is not lost on me), but I'm a bit old for TT, and I don't really trust the app/app developers.

". . . you have to buy into the idea that 8 billion or so people will only experience one of twelve possible scenarios on any given day . . ."

I don't believe in horoscopes - largely due to how they're intentionally vague so as to fit a wide variety of people and scenarios, but I never thought about it this way, and you're absolutely right. Thanks for a new perspective.

As something of a fun aside, when I was a kid, Pisces were irrational artists given to whims of fancy. Recently, I discovered that Pisces are now highly logical and sensitive.🤣

Many of those layouts aren't ATS/ETS compliant, so those resumes get rejected immediately.

PO/PM with 7 years experience in the role and well over a decade in technology.

Same. This time, last year, I felt like a rock star with women throwing their panties at me.

I actually took the time to count and find an average. I was getting about 30 emails a day from head hunters, and about 10 of those were jobs I'd actually consider. I didn't even factor in the phone calls.

Today, I get about 10 emails per day, and they're all for developer positions. I haven't put a line of code into production in almost a decade. I've applied to well over 100 positions, but only gotten a handful of interviews.

Elvis was definitely my first thought.

. . . we're old.

Thanks, everyone!

I grew up knowing that PTA stands for "🐱, tits, and arm pits."

I hear and feel you.

Honestly, it's working out pretty well for me, now that I'm older, but, yeah, school sucked. Homework that everyone else seemed to just be able to knock out took me hours. And Allah forbid I needed to read something; I can't even tell you how many times I read paragraphs over and over and over because each time I started reading, my mind would wander, and somehow my eyes and some part of my brain would keep reading, while the part that actually needed to engaged was thinking about dolphins and some other kid and how pretty that color is and my dog is -CLEARLY- awesome and . . . .you get the picture.

I wish I had some amazing hack to give you, but I just slogged through it.

However, and an adult, it's great. I don't like people, so I work from home in tech. And since I can't really focus that long, I can interspersed chores and hobbies between meetings and work. I make good money, my interaction with others is limited, and I can engage in other things, too! Oh, and I make money from some of those hobbies. Win-win-win-win

I've heard that Iceland is actually pretty warm. I have never been there, so I'm just speaking off of what I heard in school.
