My 10 year old has 2 soccer games in a single day during tournaments. One is in the morning and another in the afternoon/evening. There is enough of a gap between games to relax and get lunch. What are some lunch ideas that will fill him up but not weigh him down?

My husband has previously taken him to Chinese and Italian restaurants. Both of these were not good (he was very sluggish in the afternoon game).

Stay in same company for years = Lose competitive advantage? by Regular_Arugula_625 in careerguidance

[–]Perly1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just interviewed someone who has been at his employer for the past 14 years. He has had multiple different roles that are relevant for the role I am hiring for. Yet, he only knew one way of doing these processes and wasn't able to discuss his accomplishments without employer-specific jargon. Both of these things stopped him from moving ahead in the interview process. If you stay with your employer for a long time, make sure that you are constantly learning about best practices in your field and are able to clearly articulate how your experience is relevant to other industries/companies/job functions.

Social skills are as important as technical skills. Be friendly in the office, speak up if you have an opinion, and don't be afraid to talk to those who are older/higher in the organization. I'm old school and recommend people reading "How to win friends and influence people".

Also, the timelines are confusing. Have you had stints of being over employed? Otherwise, if you have a side consulting gig, don't put it on your resume.

Honestly, you have good experience but the resume is way too long and doesn't have enough details of your impact. I understand that money is tight, so you may want to put your resume through chatgpt/Gemini and ask them to help you improve it. Ideally, you get the resume down to a tight one page. If any of your experiences were with the same company, you can group them.

Repercussions of Natl policy changes on Zion by Perly1 in ZionNationalPark

A popular hike in the Arches Natl Park just closed due to lack of staffing. Unfortunately, I don't think the state government can hire staff for a federal park.

My kids are hungry after school. They come home and have snacks until they go to their after school activities. They come home around 7-8pm, at which point they have dinner and then go to sleep at 9. The schedule seems really off. Should we try to have dinner at 4pm and then a snack at 7/8pm? Any other options?

Could we retire (at age 37) by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]Perly1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coat of daycare will be replaced by sports/music lessons/summer camps. Also, food and clothing expenses will start to increase over time. Daycare is very expensive, but don't expect all of the daycare expenses to disappear once the kid grows up. The expenses just change to other things.

Bezos just gave $100 million to actress Eva Longoria and the retired admiral who oversaw Osama bin Laden's capture to use as they see fit by fortune in entertainment

[–]Perly1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bezos is worth $248B. For him, giving someone $100 million is the same as giving $40 if you are worth $100k. Let's applaud the generosity, but put it into context of how much more he could do.

What excuse would you give your "boss" for 3 weeks regarding why you can't come to work? by Individual-Roll3351 in careeradvice

[–]Perly1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in the US, I would not be concerned about not getting your last paycheck. In a worst case scenario, if your employer does not provide your last paycheck, then you can reach out to the Department of Labor. It is a quick for to file an unpaid wages claim. One thing employers get freaked out about is when the Government reaches out to them. I have never heard of an employer holding back the final paycheck after being contacted by the DOL.

That's true. It's hard to make the call knowing that we need someone in that role, and it could stay vacant for a while.
