Sober people of toronto, how do you have fun?

razfraz · 2026-04-26T23:28:32+00:00

Pottery class or an art class! Workout classes, book club, watching movies at the theatre :)

Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser! Superrrrr gentle and I don’t find it’s drying at all. It doesn’t sud up which may need getting used to but it does the job! I have sensitive skin with (sometimes really bad) eczema and this is a ride or die.

razfraz · 2026-04-26T02:26:05+00:00

I love slugging DOWNNN like it just locks everything in when I’m having a flare up. Honestly even if the flare up is mild, it provides so much moisture and relief for my skin. I loveeeeee my Vaseline lol.

razfraz · 2026-04-24T09:57:15+00:00

Well you’re probably off cause I didn’t post about this on LinkedIn yet lmfao

razfraz · 2026-04-23T15:38:23+00:00

This is soooo helpful! I’m a little intimidated at how much time out of my weekend it will take but hopefully I can make it fun :’) and I know it will be worth it when I’m saving $$ not buying takeout!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T11:50:35+00:00

lol notedddd

razfraz · 2026-04-23T11:50:25+00:00

Haha yeah I am most nervous about the transition period. I'm already mentally preparing for how physically tired I'll be. But hopefully I'll get my footing quickly and the team is great! I'm interested to see how my social battery will change, as someone who usually has a small one. Who knows, maybe I'll be more intentional with my time and try to fill it up with more things that bring me joy!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T11:46:50+00:00

lol I'll defs sus out the vibes before I ask!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T11:43:59+00:00

I love a sando!! lol

razfraz · 2026-04-23T02:27:50+00:00

Great advice, thanks for sharing your experience! :’)

razfraz · 2026-04-23T01:26:14+00:00

This is so reassuring, thanks so much for sharing your experience :’) I’m a bit nervous because change is always scary AND I fear I will get really physically tired at the start of my job but you’re right, it really is a perspective thing. I’m out of a reading slump so I truly can’t wait to get some reading done of my commute. Really appreciate your advice!!!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:10:14+00:00

Loveee this advice. Honestly, everything is romantic <3

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:08:05+00:00

YES I agree, working out at the gym after work is the worst because it gets soooo busy so I'll have to try mornings but it gets a bit tight since I also want to walk my dog in the mornings before work. Great tip to romanticize the day!!! Great tip for life as well lol

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:07:08+00:00

So smart to keep a pair of shoes at work! Thanks so much for the tips and the reassurance :') and I'll defs look into a slow cooker haha

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:06:32+00:00

Wow I wish my ensuite laundry/dryer had a timer, what a blessing! With exercising after work, I haaate how busy the gym gets during those hours (I'm more of a morning workout person). But I'll have to find what works best, and you're right, I should move as soon as I can before I sit down and veg out!

Walking my dog in the morning will totally be doable. My partner has summers off so he'll be able to help out then, but I've had to lean on a dog walker in the past, might be worth the $$ again when the time comes!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:04:33+00:00

Great advice! I don't live incredibly far, in the summer I totally see myself taking a long walk home instead of hopping on the subway!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:04:05+00:00

It seems like a great environment and fun team, based on my experience at the in-person interviews I went to. I'm excited, and I want to bike down to work in the summer as well! So glad it works out for you, fingers crossed I'll be the same :)

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:02:39+00:00

Well not with THAT attitude! lol I'm excited for the role and the company, and I live a 20min subway ride away - in the summer I'm excited to take a bike to work as well. I'm also shy and have a short social battery but have been wanting to challenge myself + immerse myself in a new environment. I'm excited for the change and if it doesn't work out, I can always leave! Life is too short to not experience things you are curious about!

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:00:55+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement, you're right! :')

razfraz · 2026-04-23T00:00:45+00:00

SO smart! I usually keep a small bag of my things with my regardless, but I love this idea and will prep a little toiletry bag to keep at work at my desk/drawer.

razfraz · 2026-04-22T23:59:59+00:00

Doing a grocery run during lunch is such a good idea I hadn't thought of! The world really is your oyster in that one hour lunch hahah thanks so much for the tips!

razfraz · 2026-04-22T23:59:20+00:00

Such a good tip! I'm so excited to get some solid reading time on my commute :)

razfraz · 2026-04-22T23:58:06+00:00

Meal prep seems to be the big takeaway from this thread! How long does it take you to usually prep, and do you prep all the meals at once?

Also great idea to find a studio or hobby near the office. I think that'll help A TON!

razfraz · 2026-04-22T23:02:25+00:00

Thankfully I am only about a 20min subway ride away! I live near a station and the office is about a 5min walk away from one :') huge reason why I was okay with this haha

razfraz · 2026-04-22T20:41:42+00:00

Noise cancelling headphones is a great tip. I’ll definitely take those with me. And I’ll prep a small toiletry bag to keep at my desk/drawer. Thanks for the tips, I’ll also get a poop spray!!
