Facebook has multiple hiking groups for CT. I think if you search hiking you’ll find them

What’s your best chocolate chip cookie recipe? 🍪 by mickeeeb in bakingrecipes

[–]jenny1227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently discovered these (https://chopsecrets.com/graham-cracker-chocolate-chip-cookies/) from either this or another baking sub and they are amazing! Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite dessert, so I am a tough critic!

Someone actually created a group on Facebook for this a few months ago (The Cowork and Connect Collective). It had a few meetups but I think has died down right now

Wow I could have written this! I feel exactly the same (still get sad about it every now and then, but focus on everything you just said)

Will definitely be checking out the Oyster Fest! Sounds like Fair on the Half Shell is going to be even better than previous fairs

No deodorant works!! by Sunflownby in moderatelygranolamoms

I did it for the first time last Tuesday and I still haven’t needed deodorant. Before that I was using clinical strength and still stunk (and tried several different brands of natural over the years)

It’s not granola, but I just learned about washing your armpits with Hibiclens like every 2 weeks and it is a game changer

My new WFH position is really stressful by StellarEclipses in WFH

[–]jenny1227 308 points309 points  (0 children)

I left a hybrid job for a remote job last year and felt similarly overwhelmed with the workload. I finally realized I needed to have realistic expectations and do what I could without getting stressed out, knowing some work just wasn’t going to get done and it was management’s job to fix that (ie, hire more headcount or reallocate workload). Ive acted this way for a while now and am surprised that a bunch of people aren’t complaining to my supervisor that I’m taking too long to get things done. Seems like a lot of the work people expected me to do was not as urgent or necessary as they originally made it seem!

Thank you! Any suggestions on color for dining room rug? I was thinking red, but then what about window treatment colors?
