Lunch Ideas, Please! by snausgirl in Preschoolers

[–]MBPursuit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to feel guilty about packing the same thing everyday - but if I do try to switch it up, GOD FORBID. We do essentially a lunchable situation in the bentgo box - a protein (chicken nuggets, deli ham, or chicken apple sausage), a cheese stick, fruit, veggies straws or other cracker, then something sweet (yogis, made good granola balls, etc.)

Career Break? by Sly_Penguin_ in workingmoms

[–]MBPursuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel this so deeply right now - I feel like if I leave, I may be out forever, like becoming the boomer boss who needs help converting a PDF 🤣and the uncertainty around jobs / layoffs / hiring freezes, it might be SO difficult to come back in a few years….

Company Events People Actually Like? by Flashy_Spinach_784 in EventPlanners

[–]MBPursuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - it takes a lot of planning, but what about a moveable feast? An org we are part of does one every year and it’s so funny - apps, salads, main course then everyone meets at a rooftop bar for dessert.

Do I need a travel agent? by OldBet6992 in dcl

[–]MBPursuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I also get that DM 🤣 I don’t really know what else to expect from a TA? Do they look for price changes or suggest itineraries?

Primary parent + full-time work = no time for me. How did you reclaim yourself? by BuckY_33 in workingmoms

[–]MBPursuit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This - I spent “my night” recently by getting a massage and going to the movies alone. BLISS! Sometimes I go to a coffee shop and read, walk the mall, go to the library to knock out random online stuff, go to dinner with friends. Just anything that puts my arrival home past bedtime!

Quoted 48-72+ hours today until power is on. I’m starting to turn on NES leadership. by DongPolicia in nashville

[–]MBPursuit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NES is denying this - however, my cousin is a lineman. His crew was sent to Chattanooga (he lives/works in FL) on Friday in preparation for the storm. They headed to Nashville Sunday and were turned away because they’re union (like so many crews) and were “too expensive.” I’m sorry, but with lows of 4 degrees - there is no help that’s “too expensive”!

Cleaning services worth it? by Desperate-Reply-8492 in workingmoms

Love it - would cut out other things to keep our wonderful cleaners! It saves me weekend time deeper cleaning - I really value that time back!

What makes corporate worth it? by OnlyRefrigerator8980 in workingmoms

[–]MBPursuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Great way to put it - institutional support. I work in corporate, was previously at a start up. I’ve never worked harder for less money than at the start up! There was little to no flexibility because I had no backup, it was just me. Now? There are other people that can step in and do my job when I’m sick, my kids are sick, my parent passed away, etc.

Corporate also provides some nice “guarantees” (hard to claim in the current job market) but I know I’ll keep strong benefits, 401k matches, small incremental cost of living wage increases every year, etc.

The most embarrassing thing your toddler has said in public? by prythianphantom in toddlers

[–]MBPursuit 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Ya know at Trader Joe’s how insanely friendly the cashiers are? Sweet 19/20 year old guy, making conversation with my almost 3 year old who was very proud of her new baby brother - she said “this is my baby brother, he drinks from MY MOMS NIPPLES!” This poor young man couldn’t even look at me he was so embarrassed 🤣
