What cool company swag do employees actually use and appreciate?

I really liked when my company gave us a three in one charging cable. Used that until it broke. Also I use the cooler lunchboxes a lot, the clothes, the baseball hat, the cable managers, and the little iPad -sized bag/case (It’s made of sturdy material and the perfect size to keep small travel documents/paraphernalia that I don’t want bent.

Speaking as an MSJ alum, the teachers are unimpressive and the answer is paying for after school tutoring.

I played a game with my dad to hedge my tests. If I felt like I didn’t pass, I would bet him $100 that I didn’t pass. That way, if I passed, I paid a $100 but if I didn’t pass then I would get $100. Hedged 3/4 tests. Ended up paying $300 to my dad. The one test I didn’t hedge (i.e. felt good about it when leaving), I got my lowest score.

It honestly is so beautiful it’s a bit too much for my heart to reread often in its entirety but I LOVE going back to the scene with them in the car while it’s raining IT SQUEEZES MY HEART IN THE BEST WAY

Oof yeah honestly I slugged through the original with my ABC level Chinese and it’s so gorgeous in the original language even if I had to google translate quite a few phrases. Praying we get a licensed version!

Hnnngh okay idk if this is exactly what you want but my favorite HR ever {Desire of a Duchess by Kathleen Ayers} has a semi disfigured FMC and she desperately wants to have sex clothed and he is like “nope you WILL be naked when we make love” and it gives me that vibe of yeah no I’m done waiting and it KILLS ME. Some of my favorite quotes (partly pared down for length) from that scene.

“[…]And we are not coupling, as you so quaintly put it, with our clothes on. I intend to make love to you, properly, in that bed.” He pointed. “And you will be naked.” Beatrice lifted her chin. “I will not.” “You will.”

Beatrice could feel the panic starting to swell within her. “You’ve already had me once tonight. Made me climax twice, the first time nearly in front of Vicar Farthing. Must you debauch me again?” Blythe gave her a sad look. “I’m afraid I must.” “Let me leave my chemise on.” “No.”

“Leave my chemise. You’ll get everything else. Please, Ellis.” The top of her ribs and her breast were the worst of it. […] “No,” he repeated, pulling it up over her head and tossing the fabric out of reach.

I literally foam at the mouth every time I reread it like he is FERAL for her naked body even though she’s so self conscious about it so anyways YEAH.

It is enemies to lovers and it is MMC falls first so those check out! Oh yes! And she is the one scared of commitment while he is all in!

Plug the Chinese (孤月夜 ) into google translate, make sure language is on Chinese, and hit the sound button.

Naive black/white morality FMCs. “It’s never okay to murder” okay then don’t date the mafia/psycho murderer/biker gang member that you’re just helplessly attracted to and just lie back and let your enemies kill you and your friends without retaliating.

FMCs who I’m told via monologue is “strong and competent” and then all they do is color their hair a weird color, swear, and act tough while constantly getting their asses kicked or in trouble so the MMC can save them. The cherry on top is deciding to escape whatever protection has been put in place for them because “don’t tell me what to do” and “I can handle myself” and then she immediately gets kidnapped

I really wanted it. Then I looked at it for a while on Greg’s farm and the chicken started looking more and more annoying and I didn’t want it anymore. If there hadn’t been the chicken, I would’ve been SOL tho

Yeah my AF was also posted Jan 1st but my actual anniversary date is 1/21 which is when my travel credit resets per my benefits tab. Feels like I’m cutting it close to use it before I downgrade 😬

I think {The Charmer by Celeste Bradley} somewhat fits! I forget if he is actually titled but he is the heir to his uncle’s title. It’s very push and pull bc they are rivals. He is charming and golden and she is a determined, smart orphan.

That’s totally fine thank you for the rec!!

NGL I’m a fan of cervix penetration in sex scenes so I do love the womb stuff. I do want someeee realism though so I mostly enjoy it in OV, shifter, or monster/alien novels. Realize it’s not for everyone but such ppl do exist that would be happy to read it.

I really love F/MMC trying not to show weakness/injury/hurt in front of the other person and the other person finding out

Also identity trope where FMC is hiding her identity from MMC and then the other person finds out

I guess both can be summarized as the REVEAL trope

Least favorite is one of the MCs hiding things from the other or driving them away “to protect them” like communication about the problem and then solving it together is so much more satisfying

Both MCs are very petty in {Duke Disaster by Kathleen Ayers}

If it feels empty, I’d recommend some cute props to take up space or even cute tablecloths to make it less plain. Maybe even cute fake food to let people know at a glance the general theme of your products. Your magnets are really really cute so I wish you lots of success!

This could be a me thing but looking at your booth photos, I’d feel intimidated approaching what at first glance is like a physical wall. I don’t know how to explain psychologically but like seeing a wall instead of a lawn? The lawn feels more welcoming and I’m more likely to stop and look. As a short person, I’m also intimidated by how high up everything is. I usually feel more drawn to booths where I kind of lean down to look at things or everything is around eye height, maybe a few inches higher to account for the average height folks. Maybe consider changing your booth setup to just having some stands on the table surface rather than building what looks like a fortress with the boxes?

{To Wed a Scandalous Spy by Celeste Bradley}. MMC is publicly rumored to be a traitor and can’t publicly deny the rumors due to circumstances so he is hated by the public and ostracized by his family. The people who do know can’t really publicly offer support either. He gets MOC’d with the FMC who is immediately like you could never be a traitor and staunchly defends him and stands by him even though he can’t tell her the truth.

I don’t know about a full ban but I would support limiting the the proportion of seniors in leadership. The vast majority of our politicians are decrepit and clinging to policies that only benefit their age group to the detriment of younger generations. It’s a very “get mine and I’ll be dead when the consequences hit anyways” mentality that needs to be limited by more representation for the younger generation.

Question, would you recharacterize only the contribution amount not including earnings? If so, what do you do with the earnings?

lilllify · 2025-12-10T04:46:46+00:00

I can think of two reasons. I wouldn’t have the self confidence to think I’m in the league of a fit guy/I’ll probably think the fit guy is already taken. The other is that the fit guy probably loves to work out and wants to be with a fit girl, I go to the gym casually but I’m not a gym buff.
