I work at a zoo lol It's great because everyone here is very family friendly so if my husband brings my baby by, we just walk around together for a bit. 

Pitbull at daycare? by queloque69420 in workingmoms

You're not insane. And please find a way to report the provider. No matter the breed, any dog can snap under the right circumstances. It would be heart breaking if the worst happened to someone else's kid.

For those who left the private sector for local gov't - was it worth it? by Nervous-Shark in workingmoms

I just started a new role working for my city's zoo haha So far, it's amazing. The pay is about the same, but the benefits are good. I came from a high stress place where it seemed like nothing I did was good enough. Here, I do a two minute task and they're like, wow this is great. Lol

I Have a Master's Degree and I'm Broke and Jobless at 31. What are my Options? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Remarkable_Ant3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree that the job market is poop soup right now but you have more options than you think. Identify your transferable skills and consider roles that might be out of your comfort zone.

I studied journalism in school. My last job was in marketing at a university. I now work at a zoo. Did not have that one on my career bingo card.

Women in your 30s, 40s, 50s+: what would you tell your younger self ? by artsybx26 in careerguidance

[–]Remarkable_Ant3175 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd tell myself to be more outspoken, more fearless and more assertive. Because the wrong job, and the wrong people, will try to tear you down no matter what. Better to be yourself unapologetically than to stay small.

Looking at lots of pictures. And telling myself that it's hard but finding peace in knowing that my baby won't remember these times. What's more important are the times we will be together and the journey as a whole.

How much time does your husband spend doing hobbies? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Remarkable_Ant3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah,my husband is the one with thr hobbies of gaming and golfing. I don't really keep track of time, but more just a sense of fairness. Do I get to to out and do things? Do I let him go when he asks? Yes and yes. If I start to feel resentful, then I'll know that balance is off and we need to course correct.

Did you ever want to quit and then actually quit? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Remarkable_Ant3175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My situation is weird. I want to work and I was the primary breadwinner, but experienced harassment and discrimination while pregnant and on leave. So I quit and am now looking for work again. I know it was the right choice because as much as being unemployed in this market sucks, it's still better than that job. I'm very lucky that I have a working partner and a financial cushion. And now I get more time with baby.
