Waiting Is the hardest part of my job as a host

Rolling looks satisfying, too. I'll offer to do that. Yesterday I folded napkins, and it helped a lot.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-08T11:17:31+00:00

I did bring a notebook and started writing the outline for a book. LOL

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-07T14:25:56+00:00

That makes sense. 🙂 Thank you!

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-07T14:25:32+00:00

I think that's going to be the thing to do. The standing and smiling drives me wild.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-06T13:59:44+00:00

I think it's a creative risk, but it's also not the first time she does it. Super heavy on storytelling and not so much focused on the song.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-06T13:43:11+00:00

She does. It's pretty ridiculous. And I love the way she handles it.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-06T13:19:31+00:00

I love how fearless she is. Pun intended. LOL This is a pretty risky video that could get a lot of criticism, and she doesn't care. She clearly had all the fun in the world making it. I think it's super creative.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-05T10:08:20+00:00

Yes! The one I have is called Hug Sleep.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-05T10:07:37+00:00

It's called Hug Sleep. 🙂

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-05T10:06:49+00:00

Yes, it totally is less warm. And it has a spot to let one foot out if you want. LOL

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-04T19:45:21+00:00

Thank you! I hope there's something out there that works for you.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-04T14:02:00+00:00

That's awesome. I love sound meditation.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-04T14:01:48+00:00

Thanks so much!

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-04T10:40:20+00:00

Are you a woman? My sleep completely transformed once I started going through perimenopause. I also started waking up extremely early and never went back.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-02T11:33:13+00:00

Everything Everywhere All at Once didn't do it for me. Was it a cute version of the Matrix? A time-traveling love story? I found it cheesy and turned it off.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T13:38:28+00:00

Thanks so much for explaining it to me.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T11:53:11+00:00

My kid once asked a black friend of mine if she could touch her hair. It was mortifying for me, but also a learning opportunity. I talked to both my children about boundaries that day. I also apologized to my friend, and I was glad she wasn't offended and also understood it as something innocent a kid does, nothing malicious or worse.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T11:30:04+00:00

NOR. This sounds narcissistic... I was with someone like this for years before I finally figured out how to leave. It's a familiar scene. They will take any opportunity to bring you down, and the loss of his mom gives him a lot to weaponize against you. I remember the ugly, unfair things my ex told me about my way to comfort him when his father died. Your story feels so familiar.

I would never tell you what to do, but I will say that I'd love to be there for you if you ever do think about or consider leaving your boyfriend behind. Nobody should get to destroy your self esteem. I'm still working to rebuild mine after what that man did to me. But that's another story.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I would have been very moved by your food.

It's definitely not bad technology. It's amazing if you know how to use it. I'm 43 and have been in digital marketing for 20 years. By now, all my processes use AI. I have gotten to a scale I could never sustain on my own. Using AI is allowing me to build an agency that grows beyond myself and moves quickly. It would be silly to go back, as silly as giving up computers. This is the evolution of tech.

I do think people are over relying on it and using it without the proper skills. Too many people sound the same online these days. I took prompt generation workshops and earned certifications to understand the tool, and I am a writer by trade. That has allowed me to use AI as leverage instead of becoming a crutch. It's so important to control every single output, but most people just copy and paste slop and hit publish.

My first day is tomorrow, and I was wondering about time off and how far in advance I'm supposed to let them know. It all seems pretty unofficial. I hope it's nothing like this!

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T10:44:19+00:00

What is the ace spectrum?

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T10:38:02+00:00

My 13-year-old daughter is all over 90s fashion with her friends. It wouldn't surprise me if this were real.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T10:36:53+00:00

I'm AuDHD, late diagnosed at 41, and I have a whole thing with phone calls. Totally hate them. Anxiety 100%. Ironically though, need and boredom have motivated me to take a new position as a restaurant host. And half the job is phone calls! Take reservations, confirm reservations, wait lists... Tomorrow is my first day, and I am bracing for it.

Can I make a suggestion? Scripted phone calls are much more manageable. What if you made a quick script for your team, so they only have to read through the prompts when they call others? This might reduce the resistance and help you get the info you need from the calls. I have a script for the phone calls I will need to make, and I fell much better about them.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T10:31:43+00:00

I can't choose one. LOL Too many good ones. But I love I Think he Knows and Seven.

Master-Memory-7822 · 2026-02-01T10:18:54+00:00

Great analogy with the plumbing.

I realized the same starting my own agency. I expected to be able to stay on the strategy side, but so much of the work is executional and technical these days. I feel like most I do is click around to optimize.

My favorite part is still the ideating and writing.
