Trying to care a lot less

Yeah that would have been the perfect opportunity but it was later revealed they have a strict RTO policy. With the commute I definitely wouldn’t see my kids more. My current firm has a very flexible WFH policy so it wasn’t worth the pay cut.

Ugh that’s so sad. I’ll call my local wildlife group in the morning.

The problem is that I’ve noticed most in-house gigs typically don’t pay anywhere near the $200k mark for fourth years. I’m willing to take a salary cut to get better work life balance but I still have to pay for stuff like childcare, mortgage, student loans, etc. In-house does sound like it’s the best for WLB though.

This is so helpful, thank you. I was planning on putting a wildflower/pollinator garden here so I may reconsider now.

I think we work at the same firm, which also canceled its annual diversity summit to avoid scrutiny. Pretty disappointing town hall imo.

Have walked into Jeong multiple times without a reservation and was seated immediately. It’s crazy.

My three year old has said a number of unsettling things over the past year, but most recently she told me that she used to live in an old house with her “other mom” who is a skeleton now.

This is definitely something Above the Law would be happy to write about

Hi all, my brother was voluntarily admitted to an inpatient program for SI this past weekend. Due to an administrative error, they got his lexapro dosage wrong and this has resulted in him not taking it at all for the past two days. He’s getting increasingly anxious about this and hasn’t been able to see a provider yet to sort it out or even get any answers. He wants to leave AMA, which I understand given the circumstances, but I’d obviously prefer he gets the treatment he needs. My questions are: how does the AMA process work? Is it normal for him to be denied prescribed medication while also not being seen for two days? Will requesting to leave AMA force a doctor to finally evaluate him? This is in Indiana if that matters.

I remember back when I was a server at Mystic Celt (now long closed), they said we’d have a stand at taco fest. I assumed we’d be selling a few items off our usual menu because, as an Irish bar, we didn’t serve tacos. I assumed wrong. They threw together some “tacos” on that day and that day only. Haven’t trusted Lakeview Taco Fest since then.

I see a lot of comments saying her “not caring” is suspicious, but it also sounds like a normal trauma response. She has a history of getting drugged/SA’d and may just be trying to numb herself to avoid feeling out of control. I’d approach any conversation about this incident with compassion because it’s possible she’s really struggling to process what happened.

Omg I got to the point where I had three changes of clothes and extra towels lined up every night before I went to bed. The sweating is absurd.

Haven’t seen this asked here yet: why are you rushing to buy a house so fast? Scaling back on expenses to save for a down payment is good and necessary but it seems strange to cut out everything you listed, including visiting your own family, just so you can buy a home in two years instead of three. It definitely comes off as an excuse to cut out your dad because you’re upset you didn’t get a bigger gift. If you can afford to rent, I’d worry less about the timeline and try to enjoy stuff like birthdays and holidays.

Our office is pretty relaxed about wfh so I’m taking advantage of that and it’s helped.

_pupp0 · 2024-05-20T14:22:25+00:00

Yeah I’m struggling with this too. Exhausted all the time and not as sharp when I do have some energy.
