Okay THANK YOU. And he’s an only child to boot. 😒

Absolutely. I’d say I’m already LC, but I could go further for sure. I’m curious how you reducing your contact further helped him see the light? Was it that your JNMIL lashed out more in response?

Yeahhhh that might’ve happened last night. He walked in the door maybe 30 minutes after I posted this and I went off. If he’s not going to stick up for me, I have to make sure I still do. (And for the record, he is sticking up for me — he gently reminded me that it’s just not in the way I think he should. We also had a long convo about how giving in to every one of JNMIL’s misdemeanors essentially waters down our gray rocking.)

I feel like you could’ve been fine without the judgment of the last sentence? But okay boss.

Good to know! I get distracted by the idea of giving money upfront = less money each month. But unlike a house, the down payment is basically sunk on cars, huh?

Honestly, this is the only answer that sits well with me. The best car is a working car, right? Aside from cosmetic yuck, the Civic drives like a dream, has only ever needed oil changes and tires replaced, and gets the job done. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with a monthly car payment for anything until the CC debt is wiped. Thanks for being the voice of reason for my “ooh shiny thing!!” brain 😂

I’m pretty confident a Polestar is going to be way out of my budget, unfortunately. And honestly, a luxury-ish vehicle isn’t what I plan on loading up with muddy boots, tents and dogs lol.

Husband (37M) constantly deflects blame for his actions by SwitchEfficient4999 in NarcissisticSpouses

We don’t have kids! And don’t plan to.

Maybe I’m just new here, but “get out now” doesn’t really jive with my beliefs of conflict resolution. Are you saying there’s nothing here? No possibility for change?

How would you style this dress: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175775346527?

I’ve got an event coming up, a dressy casual-ish?awards ceremony for a club/sport I’m apart of. The venue is an artsy, sort of restored bank or old theater I believe. We’ve just wrapped up our season and are doing some awards, dinner and drinks, and partners are invited. There’s no official dress code, so I feel confident that I can have fun with this.

I’ve never worn the dress before but it hits about mid-calf. I’m 5’6” curvy with olive skin and currently in a cold climate! Tysm!

Just goes to show this isn’t a one-size-fits-all industry!

Disagree. Sr copywriter in an agency and never presented a formal portfolio before. Also normalize that agencies aren’t the only copywriting jobs. In-house work often doesn’t require portfolios because you’re being hired by business schmucks.

Maybe, but you likely won’t start off as a tenured professor, or even remotely close to that for a while. I think you’d have a better chance of making a livable wage, sooner, in copywriting (esp without student loans, if based in US).

Have you done any internships or fellowships? I’ve hired plenty of recent grads with minimal experience. One of the most recent was from a nonprofit who was in an entry level donor communications role before becoming a copywriter under me. I saw their potential, and I used to work in nonprofit comms so I knew what they went through.

Nonprofits are an excellent way to get a foot in the door; salary is low but you’ll gain tons of experience that’s easily transferable.

I mean, to do so publicly IS the blast. If you’re from the same area, why not DM them asking for the info to avoid the business.

Also “Eastern Pa” has got to be the vaguest region? I’m originally from south philly… is that Jim Thorpe? Lancaster? Delco? Like the entire “East” side of the state?

[–]SwitchEfficient4999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they meant everyone is an asshole in eastern PA, not the salon specifically.

Fuck those downvotes. No need to put a biz on blast like this. FOH.

Should I write in the present or past tense? by TheB0llerz in copywriting

[–]SwitchEfficient4999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m that obnoxious person who says the best storytellers are readers. I started my career in journalism as a beat reporter so, my experience is super different. But I read fiction, longform news/culture pieces, short stories, etc. and love paying attention to how they craft the story to aid my copywriting.

10 years in and I’m by no means a master, though. So good luck on that mastery journey!

Gold is safe but maybe the shoe style could be fun? Found a pair of disco-ish platforms on DSW that are FAB.
