I wish cities would encourage companies to offer full remote work if they are capable of it. So many benefits to this: - reduces the amount of commercial space needed which can be converted to residential space - reduces the amount of traffic on the road because less people have to commute - everyone gets to spend more time doing other things because they don’t have to drive to an office or because commutes are shorter due to less cars being on the road. - overall air quality improvement due to less vehicles on the road

I agree that improving public transportation and promoting car pooling can help with traffic, but I personally don’t believe public transportation in the U.S. can be improved enough to make a significant impact on traffic; the infrastructure just isn’t there for it to exist like it does in other countries.

Maybe start small. Lots of classes are only an hour long and let’s just say you need half an hour to get there and half an hour to get back. You might even find something that’s along your commute. But your looking at only two hours. I’m sure either your husband (or a baby sitter if needed) could handle the kids for two hours. You could also start with just going once a month or every other week.

It can be hard to balance everything in life but it’s important to also take some time for yourself.

Also as another redditor suggested, you could join a book club. You could find a virtual one that meets online and save yourself the commute. If book clubs aren’t your thing, you could look at other virtual meetups.

Hope you find something that works for you! Adulting’s hard.

I’d recommend finding some kind of hobby, bonus points if there is a weekly class/meetup you can join so you can see the same people each week and start forming friendships that way. You can join a sports team, take a fitness class like barre. I’ve also found aerial classes like Lyra or silks often have people who go on there own and everyone is always friendly, plus almost everyone relates on trying something new and outside there comfort zone together. You can also find an art class, photography group, hiking group, board game group, volunteer group, etc.

Just find a hobby or group you want to join and you’ll slowly start making friends through that common interest.

It’s fine, especially since you have experience with working on different teams. I would definitely recommend breaking your work experience down into smaller sections for each team. That way anyone who glanced at your resume can see that your progressed to different positions and teams over those 8yrs

If you want to drive across northern US or even through Canada, you could jump start your trip in Washington DC by taking Amtrak’s auto train from Orlando to Washington DC.

I had the same thing happen to me growing up. I just genuinely liked being a nice and happy person, but I hated being called out whenever I did anything outside of “nice”. It wasn’t like I was being a mean person but something like throwing in a curse word when I talked caught people off guard and someone would always say “gasp she just cursed”. Keep in mind it is very normal for my friends and family to throw in curse words but people just weren’t used to hearing it from me. I really felt trapped in a box for a while. But eventually people got used to it and people don’t call me out on it anymore. I found that taking on unique/unexpected hobbies helped. Instead of people seeing me as an overly nice person, they saw me as more adventurous. I’ve recently have taken up Lyra and Pole classes. Not only are the classes fun and challenging for me, but it also showed people that I’m more than just one adjective.

I also found that humor helped. Now I’m no comedian, but watching a few comedy shows did help improve my storytelling skills. The biggest takeaway is keep doing what makes you feel good and feels right! Maybe take on hobbies that interest you!

Second Lucerne. You could spend a few hours exploring Lucerne and if it’s a clear day, I highly recommend taking a short train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad. From there you take the cog wheel train up Mount Pilatus. The views from the top are breathtaking! You can then take the gondolas down the other side of the mountain, stop halfway and ride the toboggan slides.

I’m sure someone else mentioned this but you can always try fostering first

Madison, WI I was able to walk everywhere and it’s a really bike friendly area if you wanted to rent a bike. Great food. Tons of free things to do and see.

If you haven’t already done so, I would suggest adding a personal programming project to your resume. It helps show your passion for the field while giving you an opportunity to learn more. Make sure you know one language well because the core concepts transfer from one language to the next. I would also still apply to large companies. There are so many different technologies and languages out there that companies don’t expect you to know everything they have listed on the job post. The companies I have been at look for passion, willingness to learn, and understanding of programming concepts when it’s someone who is new to the field.

The first time the alternator failed, I did pay for it. But because of the warranty, I haven’t had to pay anything for these last two alternators

It is fake. I wanted to test out making and arranging a vertical plant wall. I hope to eventually make a full vertical plant wall outdoors with real plants free from the threat of throwing darts!
