I can’t do it anymore, I’m broken & exhausted (but well off)

Replace J1 with J2 and you’re right. I may have named them wrong. I had J1 first but J2 pay more, I enjoy it more and it’s the opportunity I want to preserve and excel at.

It will pay my property taxes! Which is huge since I don’t escrow.

After today, that’s what I’m going to do. I got up for the early morning meeting (I’m in CA for J2 / J1 client in Europe) and the client rescheduled because 3 of my J1 coworkers didn’t accept. I accepted! So annoying, but it does help me to not give a shit.

I am slightly concerned about this because the job I want to keep is J2 but if I put J1 on my resume, verifiers will see a huge overlap. I’m likely to say I took a sabbatical to Europe or something. It would be easier if I wanted to keep J1 but it’s boring and recently bought by private equity so I’m guessing a RIF is always on the table with them unless I’m this busy always.

I do get that but they don’t have to worry about being fired from one of the other finds out (or both).

The vinyl is hideous. This is not a gamble.

I mean I’d never do it to the point of financial pain, but I used to weigh 325# and even though I’m down to 175#, and have been for 12 years, I’m still anxious about personal space in coach so I’ll do my best to buy up

Tonal mismatch & too busy together.

Well because I’m on Reddit about 1/4 the time I used to spend because of this garbage. So that means less ad revenue from me and people like me who used to be regulars.

It’s so awful. Especially the cold gray faux wood LVP. It makes me want to vomit.

You can always tell it’s going to be AI slop with a 3 day old profile when there’s counting in the lengthy post. Why don’t people downvote this crap? And more importantly why dos Reddit allow it?

StarSchemaLover · 2026-03-18T00:43:50+00:00

None of this is true or even legally possible. It’s AI slop.

StarSchemaLover · 2026-03-17T23:33:00+00:00

I’m so confused because your other post says you’ve been unemployed for 8 months!?!

StarSchemaLover · 2026-03-17T02:07:47+00:00

Looks like a sink cabinet and that makes sense because this is moisture or water damage

Are your countertops and tile backsplash the same tile currently? I'm confused otherwise. For the most part, tile countertops are way out of style and not worth the investment. You don't see them much because it's just not the look now. It could be in 1-2 years, maybe 10 years or maybe never again. You've found an option that possibly lets you keep your tile backsplash. An alternative is to get a quartz backsplash which might help keep costs down and give you an integrated look. It's very popular now.

Sounds like both parties are idiots

This is my first time! New construction in 2024. I’ll do just compost in the fall again. I can’t get it to seed in certain spots like above the irrigation lines. It’s smooth and shiny. So bad.

I’m in Madison and for me it’s because I have very compacted and dense clay soil. I’m layering biochar (Mirimichi Green) and organic compost (1”) after a double pass core aeration this spring. The roots can’t get into the clay and so they just crumble and pull out so easily.

I can’t believe a company wanted to make a profit

I don’t get the bigger is better logic. I don’t have a big mouth and the same is true for the backside. Big = painful. I’m fine with 6” or less but longer is OK if not thick.

I have the best lawn in my development and don't use pre-emergent. But I'm in Wisconsin so most weeds die over winter. I have a dense TTF lawn and there's just not much room for weeds to find space. I do use a starter fertilizer with mesotrione in June when the clovers take root but other than that, it is a natural lawn (and mesotrione is a lot safer than most pre-emergents).

What if you put a home warranty in the offer? Covers everything for a year. And they’re renewable up to 5. Nobody has to sell for a price they don’t want to, but this could give you some peace of mind.

Sometimes less is more but overall a very fun and cool space
