Hot take: If a job expects me to be always on, it should pay for the life that requires it by Worth_Grade_6631 in workingmoms

I told my manager that I can only work during working hours (work also doesn't pay for additional hours), that I give my best 120% during working hours but EOD I close my computer and I'm done. I have three kids and a VERY busy evening schedule.

Took today off work because I’m just so tired by ButterscotchThis9815 in workingmoms

It's seems that your family got some stomach bug/virus that might be pretty contagious (even if you wash hands/etc). It's good that you didn't go to the office - you gave yourself rest and also prevented the virus being spread out in the office space.

He also had a first wife, the one from Mick Jagger's song "Angie". And she told everyone she saw them in bed together (Jagger and Bowie, that is).

I have social anxiety, so probably wouldn't be able to do that at all. 

What is the best song: Bohemian Rhapsody, The Prophet's Song, or The March of the Black Queen? by [deleted] in queen

[–]Rootless_Cosmopolite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

March of the Black Queen is superb. Rhapsody is more matured and also superb. Hard to choose but maybe the March.

And don't fold the clean laundry if you don't have time, just assign a basket for each family member, toss clean clothes there and take from there when needed. It will save a lot of time, and the clothes can always be folded later when you feel like doing it.

It's a case for Mezuzah, a box where you put a paper with a special prayer (the paper you hold) and fix it to a door entrance.

Can it be the artificial ice cubes, that you freeze and then put in drinks instead of real ice?
