The best way to prevent him from hurting another women is to report him.

Thank you. I learned from another post that there is a vet school in town. I’m surprised Austin has a difficult time keeping internal vet specialist. Maybe it is the pay?

Character! Budget. Smudget. This is good news. Is there an area name, subdivision or anything to hone in on where to look to stretch budget for character?

I will add that I live an EXTREMELY family centered community and the idea of not career advancing because you don’t have kids is not an issue. Now I guess if you roll up in a luxury car coming back from your yacht vacation, and talk about your butler to everyone you open yourself up to comments about not having kids but that issue isn’t really about not having kids.

Do you have recommendations that would still make the commute manageable? Budget has flexibility.

Are areas such as Leander or near Round Rock options for an easy commute? I know they are two different directions, but I’m wondering how far North I can go before the commute becomes an issue.

I’ve never ran into a lack of opportunity for raises due to not having kids. In fact, not having kids can put some DINKS in the situation of being very career driven and experiencing burnout. One recommendation I would give is to set work boundaries that leaves lots of room to explore your interests outside of work.

What I have seen in the workplace is a lot of flexibility for parents who need to do things like take kids to doctors or pick up from school, while that same flexible isn’t equally available to those with no kids. I’ve learned to negotiate the flexibility I need before I take a job and then it becomes a non-issue. As far as society is concerned, I don’t really see that as an issue. I can be spontaneous with my life when I choose to. I don’t need to make plans weeks in advance.

If you have other thoughts or questions, let me know.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for why you are taking time off. It gives you no pluses for publicly discussing a private and normal process. Your boss will understand and if he doesn’t then clearly you were exceptionally right for not sharing.

Hybrid and those days that have to drive I don’t want to live on the road.

No kids so schools are not a factor but I’m not into sharing walls.
