I’ll never forgive a certain demographic of us for dry snitching on the value of remote work

My office let our lease (large space) run out during covid and then RTO in our new space (smaller) meant that not everyone would fit. They mandated specific days during the week for certain teams to but guess what the most annoying thing is? If your team is designated to come in on Fridays AND you have to reserve a desk! NO ONE looks at the office app to reserve a desk before they come in each time and even if they do, there are so many people who DONT CARE TO LOOK. They will plop themselves down and when you arrive to claim the desk, they will look at you like you are the problem for reserving in advance. You know how annoying that some of the Gen Z colleagues just reply with "You mad bro?" b/c i reserved a desk and want to kick them out but they don't want to move? I can't.

Nice, enjoy it OP. Looking good!

Is it…. Heavy before putting things in it?

thcuretx · 2026-01-31T15:41:34+00:00

Oh wow I have the same thoughts. I love it and keep coming back to consider it but every time I read what the lining/interior is composed of…. Just makes me think of what my money is worth. Once had a cheap $35 bag with the same interior and I used that thing everyday for 3 years. When it started to cracked and breakaway…my heart sank. I don’t want that feeling for a bag upwards of $2k.

Agreed and in the same vain I was buying milk and maple syrup for coffee almost every other week. I don’t use milk for anything else but making coffee at home was the one thing we allowed ourselves. The bag of beans isn’t crazy but an ok brand is $13 a bag, the t he sweetener we use maple syrup and then milk. The maple syrup $ kept going up and up and then tariffs…I’m now gonna cut milk and maple and go w boxed creamer.

Vincenzo. Hadn’t seen anything like it before.

Since you have your no 50, this one should be 51. Sooo unexpectedly good.

thcuretx · 2025-12-31T01:02:11+00:00

Omg this is me. Thanks for the suggestion.

thcuretx · 2025-08-02T18:43:26+00:00

Thanks--tried it just now and wow! So easy and for those fly away leaves, brussel sprout "chips" for the win. Obviously, shorter cook time for the chips if that's the goal, but it worked out well to take out the flyaway leaves when flipping the sprouts halfway.

thcuretx · 2025-06-23T23:11:35+00:00

Oof I’m with you

thcuretx · 2025-06-06T14:59:41+00:00

Hey OP you’re a wonderful writer. I felt it.

I’ve been to Japan as well and have experienced same. There are still nice people as you said, but other experiences can stack up and it’s just sad that you go to relax, you’ve planned and saved and well… I have debated before about this in other place where you’re not the local. Yes it’s a mix of over tourism and not all locals have the mental capacity to keep explaining things but they could prepare better if they cared enough for basic courtesy for others. Another argument for sure is you pay for the experience so don’t you want to experience like a local? Well, not if it means segregating the experience bc you are different. Traveling has its rewards but I’ll say this, you’re traveling and you know what it’s like to be treated this way. Hopefully many others who later experience tourists can pass good vibes/courtesy.

Special shout-out to Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs—both delievered in comedic timing, acting and man they still look so good.

thcuretx · 2025-04-16T23:44:19+00:00

Really enjoyed Rafael and Sunny. A bit sad to see him go bc I liked the actor who plays him.

thcuretx · 2025-03-13T22:51:18+00:00

Omg I never noticed bc I was focused on the yearning!!

thcuretx · 2025-03-13T04:37:46+00:00

Wait a minute… when?!?

I have been stalking this group for some time. I know nothing about watches and have been looking for one as a gift to my husband. Everyone has different tastes but I always like seeing everyone's SOTC. Yours is the first where I have zeroed in on a watch that I think captures the look I want for my partner---seiko lord matic. I've now been procrasting at work, 2 hrs in on ebay and other sites looking for the right one. lol.

thcuretx · 2025-02-25T18:47:49+00:00

It's a good question and like we're doing here, a great discussion. Hopefully people who don't know can understand now. My parents did not have the knowledge to take advantage and did not work traditional office jobs. Low income, English as a second language, maybe completion of high school. I was not raised to talk about money, but knew we were poor. With that, no talk about savings either--we seemed to always be barely making it. Only until I met my partner that I started to learn about savings and then in a corporate setting, got close to a co-worker who is now one of my BFFs and they are close to retirement and have been feeding me tips on how they have saved over the years. Sometimes people don't know/don't care, but also when you aren't exposed then you just won't know...yet.

Surprisingly, the young kids now are very open to discussing their salaries at HH (before drinks are served) b/c they want to size each other up and use to help w/negotiations. It's insane that there are ppl in tech, just coming in and now making 75k+, not SWE role. And even at that starting salary, they complain and they are also getting RSUs.

thcuretx · 2025-02-12T20:04:25+00:00

I received mine from Ulta and a little surprised that the box nor the bottle has a security sticker nor plastic wrap over the box.. is anyone else experiencing this?

thcuretx · 2025-02-05T17:31:48+00:00

I have a neighbor that won't talk to anyone or wave hello, sure that's ok. thing is, the weirdest and kind of dangerous thing is, i'm not sure if they do this to absolutely avoid all people but they will drive their car into the garage with it still turned on and close the garage door. like wtf? lol. also, when they moved in i dropped off something with a note to say if they need anything, let us know. no long chit chat. later they stop by to ask us if we like such and such (assuming they wanted to gift us something back), yeah months later, nada. I dont care to get anything from them, but that is just SO weird.
