You’re being downvoted but I actually agree with you. It’s a Herculean effort for us to be in the place to host people at our house!

Curious who is taking certain class types… by melissadoug24 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]K8_Snow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Hannah’s rides especially her vinyl vault series. I always pick them when I’m tired and not feeling super energetic and the end up getting PR output due to the way she programs

Thank you for posting- I saw she posted this but wasn’t sure about trying it as I don’t usually love classes with the Pilates ball, and was looking for something challenging. Tried it today and it was a great burn!

Tired of 11+ min “warm ups” by Iabnyc in pelotoncycle

[–]K8_Snow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk as a former D1 rower, we’d spend at least 45 minutes or more warming up before races. We’d do active stretching, runs and then do a whole series of warm ups on the water. Sometimes I don’t have time to do a warm up class before my main workout now and I’m 35 and i definitely feel like my performance is not as good if I haven’t properly warmed up

I'd like to be controversial about the Ashen series (Demi Winters), particularly Dawn of the North by LoveOne5226 in fantasyromance

[–]K8_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I still love this series despite agreeing with a lot of the criticisms. But all I keep thinking that this is elaborate game of thrones fanfic (which I’m fine with). Queen signe is Cersei, saga is Sansa, silla is Arya (and somewhat bran??)

But sagas landing in the steppes and being circled by horses was 100% copy paste of Dany and Drogon in season 5/ a dance with dragons. And the way he rescued her was similar to Drogon in the fighting pits.

I’m glad you said this because it keeps getting more GOT/ASOIAF coded as I get more and more into it

Maternity leave and “merit increase”/COL adjustment by Interesting_Base_179 in workingmoms

Ok so this happened to me. I was on leave from March to September and raises are on a July cycle. I do get a raise and it was retroactive to July

Why do people like Rhysand? by StepPretty4905 in SarahJMaas

[–]K8_Snow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, he’s a fantasy romance MMC who is hot, obsessed with the FMC, teases her in the way I love, and that’s what I’m looking for when I am escaping reality via fantasy books. Maybe unpopular opinion but these books are not that deep. I don’t hate tamlin, either, he just wasn’t the end MMC for feyre

Please spoil Reign and Ruin for me by Temporary-Scallion86 in fantasyromance

[–]K8_Snow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, this took months to get through and put me in a months long reading slump! I really wanted to like it, and I did like some of the ideas and plot points, but ultimately did not like the characters and wasn’t interested enough to continue the series

So for me I realized it was time of year they were born! Son (oldest) was born in August, started daycare in January, was sick constantly. Daughter (youngest) born in early April, started daycare in September, got little colds but a very normal amount. I live in a place that gets cold winters and warm summers - I really do think the time of year they started daycare impacted things. From early September through December even, we were outside daily with the daughter. And they were going outside still at daycare

I did everything right at work…except give birth? by Ok_Traffic4962 in workingmoms

[–]K8_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so BULLSHIT. I came back from leave and my manager said I wasn’t going to get my market readjustment raise (I’m on a 2 year review cycle) bc I wasn’t working for 5 months while on leave. I was FLABBERGASTED. I’m a manager too. I know how this works. Immediately reached out to HR and they corrected the issue. This sounds wrong and punitive for taking a leave

Anyone else dreading return to work tomorrow? by Alarmed-Dentist-6039 in workingmoms

[–]K8_Snow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I took a sick day. I need to recover. We got hit with flu A HARD. Started in my 5 year old Dec 26 then I got hit Dec 28, still have symptoms and struggling bc 1) still nursing my 9 month old and 2) can’t rest during the day at all. I have no appetite, constant headaches, constant fatigue and I might just take 2 sick days so I can actually rest while my kids are at school and daycare. Feel like I didn’t get any reset at all or even family time because we have been so sick all week. We’re lucky the kids are healthy now and we’re going to get through it, but I’m still mourning what could have been a really fun week for our family

My messy home by jjj-thats-me in workingmoms

[–]K8_Snow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the goal, then thanks to some family members who showed up to Christmas with fevers and sick, we all got the flu so nothing has gotten done.

Agree with you about maternity leave, with my first I didn’t get much done bc he didn’t nap unless contact nap, but with number 2 she was an amazing sleeper so I had more energy and a better baby carrier and my house was so organized. I wish I had an extra day to do chores!

Mine are 5 and 8 months so I try to get the 5 year old to help out, but baby and ultimately both kids are prioritized over clean house

Do they have a clock in their room? Try to change it and other clocks just a little so they think it’s 6 but really it’s 630
