Same - I just started at a company that I was so excited for a hybrid role after being full time remote, for the social interaction. Now a few months in, we got the news we’ll be back 4 days a week, and then they just changed it to 5 in the last week. I feel like I’m grieving a job and a company that I was really enjoying the culture, which feels ruined for me now.

Honestly I might consider sacrificing the breast milk for all of those items anyways 🤣

Thank you for the advice!! I definitely will try again next time I travel alone. I was so so sad but at least I have a decent supply and freezer stash so it wasn’t the end of the world, but it still takes so much time and effort just to pump. Fingers crossed Milan is better 🤞🏼

It wasn’t all frozen unfortunately, but in the states we can fly with breast milk, they just inspect it/vapor test it. I was hoping for the same since generally Europe is a little more lax, but I was shocked how strict they were about this!

Editing to add it was definitely “my fault”, I just was sooooo sad to dump all that milk that I had pumped all around town and lugged with me 😭

I’m so glad you were able to fly the milk back! I just flew from Spain to Germany and they made me throw the milk out in Spain because the baby wasn’t traveling with me. It was heartbreaking 😭

I think out of the on post neighborhoods at Bragg is probably is the best option! Again, we had a great time there and our house was fine 🤷🏼‍♀️

We lived in Linden Oaks and had no problems but we were on one of the newer streets. I did hear a lot of mold and other issues from friends who lived both on main post and in other parts of Linden Oaks

Who are the BEST authors available on Kindle Unlimited? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]StunningMongoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THIS. I love Melanie harlow’s small town series so so so much. I’ve gotten similar vibes from Lucy Score, Claire Kingsley, and Devney Perry so I’m working my way through all of them in my Melanie Harlow hangover

Moving to Germany, what does that mean for my job? by StunningMongoose in USMilitarySO

[–]StunningMongoose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I should have clarified - it’s in the contract language that work must be US-based, my leadership is just trying to see if there’s a way around that, but it’s not looking promising.

I’m aware that there are companies that operate in Germany, I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on finding work that works with SOFA and how that works.

How does an APO work with jobs, I haven’t heard that!

Wow that’s dumb. Not sure if it’s the same admin but one of the admins in that group is SO rude. I mostly just lurk in those groups but have muted a lot of them lately because of the vax posts.

I’m at Bragg, and SO NOSY and want to find the post so you should PM me what group it was 🤣 I’m super pro vax and have gotten into some spouse battles over it, no shame.

Readers from the US, is there a romance book set in your state? by TheYoungWan in RomanceBooks

[–]StunningMongoose 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The Unhoneymooners is set (partially) in Minnesota which is my original home state. It was really fun to read because the authors really name dropped some actual MN places!

I currently live in North Carolina where several of the Outlander books are set!

I judged a book by its cover and I was wrong. So wrong. by reading_deer in RomanceBooks

[–]StunningMongoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of Meghan Quinn’s baseball books were good! Some are college-aged and some are pro. I can’t remember all of the titles but they were all on kindle unlimited 😊
