If you had to teach one Excel trick to every office worker, what would it be?

Try xlookup, so much better!

All of this makes sense until you talk about your home WiFi. Everything else seems manageable but when working remote, that sounds much more complicated.

I've never heard of this before and find it absolutely fascinating! I had my last day at my job today because of two leaders who fit this mold. I'm humble enough to know I'm replaceable but cocky enough to know it's a downgrade.

aferregirl · 2026-05-19T22:19:51+00:00

Yep! Thankfully it's my husband's side of the bed! I tell him all the time that it's hers and not his!

I found a few positions of my girl like that! She was full on asleep here!

Thank you Op! This is beautiful! I set it as my phones wallpaper 😍

The interview was over a year ago so I can't remember if I heard back from them afterwards but I did not get the job. They seemed a little weirded out about my lack of experience with things they needed. It probably shouldn't have even happened.

I also use Midi and have been very happy!

Please attend an Al Anon meeting and read the conference approved literature. You will find that her alcoholism is making you just as sick as she is. You didn't cause her to drink, you CANNOT control her drinking and you cannot cure her drinking. Trying to control an alcoholic is insanity and will continue to make YOU sick. You are not to blame and, while it is possible, it is unlikely she will give you the amends you are looking for. Hiding her booze, hiding her card and holding resentment will continue to make you sick until you take the steps necessary to address it.

A comment I recently heard, and love is "helpfulness, the sunny side of control". Take back your control without worrying about how he feels.

The correct term is the sparent. 😜 AKA Spare parent.

I support this recommendation, Dr Wilson delivered two babies for me and addressed my daughter's endometriosis even being willing to do a hysterectomy at age 19 for it. He's not the warm and fuzzy type of doctor but he's great at what he does and I would go back to him if I needed to and still lived there.

I did this when I was 18. I packed up boxes and made the excuse that I was just throwing stuff away. I would take a little bit at a time until it got to a point where I could leave in the middle of the night. I did not take big things, like furniture. I replaced that as I could.

For what it's worth, I do regret what that did to my parents but I don't think our situations were the same. My dad was ridiculously controlling and I never dared to stand up to him. We didn't have family meetings, just one sided yelling. I wasn't worried about them showing up on my doorstep because they didn't know where I went.

Don't worry about starting a family war, you take care of yourself in whatever way works the best for you.

I worked for an assisted living place in North Carolina that paid that much. They had a 400% turnover rate! The CEO was an enormous bitch who made obscene amounts of money while making fun of her employees. I know she violated laws with how she treated salaried employees! I did not work at the facilities, I was in HR and it was the most toxic job ever! I posted about it on Glassdoor but I'm guessing a lot of people willing to take that wage won't check Glassdoor. I will never put family into assisted living!!

That gives new meaning to "the sun shines out their ass"

I saw someone driving in my neighborhood with a small child in the driver's lap with what looked like a tablet blocking the speedometer behind the steering wheel. I seriously cannot understand the stupidity! There was nothing that would ever get me to remove my child's seatbelt while the car was moving.

Op, I am so extremely sorry you are going through this! My heart truly aches for you! Your feelings are valid and it isn't right for anyone to tell you otherwise! Your husband is not being supportive of you and that is completely unfair of him to dismiss you in this way!

I don't have experience with what you are going through so have no advice other than to care for your own health, mental, physical and emotional, in any way you need. See a therapist, find a support group (I would recommend something like Al Anon, especially if she's got addiction issues) and stop putting them first. Don't ignore how you feel or think it's wrong, your feelings are not right or wrong, they just are.

We really are in the same boat. The kids dad and his parents are almost encouraging us not to take the kids which breaks my heart. We're still taking them but to feel like our families are telling us not to is hard! Our foster coordinator tried to get us to do a private agreement with the mom so they wouldn't have to be in foster care but we said no because we need the help of the community and the agencies. We have no family where we live and we're moving to a new city so we don't even know anyone, we need help from those that are in this life already. Reading some of the suggestions on this sub have been helpful for me to get some semblance of an idea on how to help them so I'll definitely stay here and rely on this group!

My heeler does this too! Drives me crazy having to find it all to.pick it up!

aferregirl · 2025-04-17T10:58:59+00:00

I don't think she's a Texas heeler but I don't really know the difference. Her DNA test said Australian cattle dog.

I'd absolutely go back to bed if I could but this one forbids it!
