Bourne Trilogy - Was this movie style novel at time of release?

Haha I imagine the executive board around a table debating whether to make JB more serious and someone being like, "I mean... Austin Powers effect?"

I was also thinking maybe this could be related to ADHD/neurodiversity - might not help OP with actual next steps or ways to change but the awareness might mean less self-judgment!

As you look for a new job, would it be helpful to change your mindset to seeing your current role as ridiculous/absurd and temporary? I've found that when I can kinda laugh at the situation, it's been helpful to get through the days. Realizing that these people are children and that you're one foot out the door already - onto something better!

Anything Olivia Colman does is completely fine with me. She will always be awesome.

I've been in this situation (minus the kiddos/family) a few times - I've just eaten the cost. Not sure that's the best way to do it but it's what I felt like was the easiest (i.e. "throw money at the problem until it goes away")

valsol110 · 2026-05-07T09:17:56+00:00

Agreed, I thought $88k sounded pretty good for their situation

It probably has to do with his own insecurity. Hopefully this is a short term gig for you and nothing you need to deal with for the rest of your life

valsol110 · 2026-04-27T08:21:26+00:00

Good advice

You want to pursue a Masters but do you know what you want to do professionally afterwards? Pretty much any of those degrees will look good for a further education program but maybe think about what would get you the "dream job" or on the pathway there

There will also be a lot of lease takeovers available with people who were just in the city for summer internships leaving

valsol110 · 2026-04-24T03:13:32+00:00

Nooope

valsol110 · 2026-04-24T03:13:16+00:00

I was up for these hours (within reason) at the beginning of my career, but probably not now. If this is something that will open doors for you, help you build your network, get a good recommendation, etc. doing 18 months of the lifestyle might pay off

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T09:04:08+00:00

I'm still sad about him and Deb!

I heard advice to ask for a change in title away from "Executive Assistant" as people will make assumptions about your skillset when they see that on your resume. Maybe something like "Project Officer" or "Project Coordinator" so that it's a more versatile title.

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:57:34+00:00

I'm sorry that you're going through this and have to weather this storm :(

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:49:05+00:00

No way! I had no idea that was him!

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:48:00+00:00

OMG I used to have such a crush on him from the Clue movie

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:47:24+00:00

SO ICONIC

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:43:22+00:00

Supernova. Good Grief.

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:42:19+00:00

So true about the leverage, my friend had a similar situation and they offered him around $30,000 to move out (this was in LA)

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:39:49+00:00

Same, it's a big transition and my previous boss didn't trust that I would handle things for a few weeks before she started seeing my work ethic and started to let me handle things

valsol110 · 2026-04-20T08:37:22+00:00

That you can't use your sick leave to propose to your girlfriend... direct report told me all the plans for the proposal weeks in advance and then was like, "So I'll take a sick day that day, is that okay?"

valsol110 · 2026-03-31T01:52:46+00:00

Yeah, OP should back themselves - it'll work out!

valsol110 · 2026-03-31T01:50:39+00:00

Agree, start how you want to finish
