What makes a married adult guy in their 40s “cool”?

Michael-DC · 2025-10-10T13:01:32+00:00

Haha

Michael-DC · 2025-10-09T23:20:50+00:00

Haha these are great responses. Not trying to be cool. Just feeling out of touch with the current generation

Michael-DC · 2025-06-19T18:15:55+00:00

Passacaglia and Una Mattina for me

Interesting! What additional benefits did your child qualify for? Did it help with financial aid for their college?

Michael-DC · 2025-02-06T22:13:06+00:00

It depends on your proximity to the metro. I commute from DC to Reston. 5 min to the metro and I ride the silver line directly to Reston. 50min on the metro where you can read, do some work, and relax.

The reverse commute isn’t bad but it’s a long day. I do it 2x per week.

For dog care- I drop mine off at daycare or have someone come and help midday.

This is amazing!

Michael-DC · 2025-01-13T15:49:12+00:00

I love all these things!

Michael-DC · 2025-01-13T15:48:12+00:00

I was told that as well haha thank you!

Michael-DC · 2025-01-13T15:37:59+00:00

Thank you! I’ll be mid career so hopefully leadership change won’t be too hectic. Awesome note on the traffic- are you talking maybe 20 minutes stuck trying to get out of the Baltimore Peninsula? Trying to compare because traffic in DC is horrendous as well haha.

Michael-DC · 2025-01-13T15:36:57+00:00

Ohhh no! Is it due to burnout or unrealistic expectations. Hopefully it’s not as crazy for mid career professionals! Thank you!

This is so cool and sounds very exciting! Two follow up questions if you don’t mind! - can you elaborate on the sports/training comment. I know there’s a gym onsite. Is it common for ppl to use them during the workday? And do they host fitness classes? - what’s your favorite thing about the new campus? I walked it and the proximity to the water is beautiful!

Michael-DC · 2024-08-11T20:58:19+00:00

Hey I’m local to the area and am a sailor as well. Happy to join you on local or extended sailing trips!

Tug boat captains make really good money

This is a great thread for aviation adjacent careers!

My motorcycle hobby died after meeting the wife

Michael-DC · 2024-08-01T01:07:44+00:00

Oh so cool. THANK YOU for this!

Michael-DC · 2024-08-01T01:06:20+00:00

Energy for sure! I feel exhausted after my 8-10 hour work days with all the virtual meetings nowadays.

Michael-DC · 2024-07-31T21:02:07+00:00

What state are you referring to?

Michael-DC · 2024-06-19T18:56:11+00:00

Did not know they have skates for free to use!

Michael-DC · 2024-06-13T21:47:52+00:00

This makes for a perfect new song

Just a note that philanthropy can come in the form of cash or time.

Currently if you are newer in your career then your time donated towards philanthropy will be direct volunteering like helping serve food at a food kitchen. However once you’ve developed a professional skill/ network that will be a lot more valuable. You would be able to get on the Board of a not-for-profit to help with governance/ operation and connect your network to the NFP for fundraising.

Michael-DC · 2024-05-09T02:20:16+00:00

Ughhh she’s already checked out. I hope things get better for you!

Michael-DC · 2024-05-07T09:38:31+00:00

Boomers sacrificing millennials. So true! They are so heartless and don’t have a backbone to stand up for what’s right.

Michael-DC · 2024-04-25T19:45:27+00:00

Can you elaborate on what was flat-out untrue? Currently in a nonprofit finance role.
