Anyone else still have the “school night” mentality and rarely get out the house during the work week? I leave all my socializing for the weekend, but I think I should start maximizing my time after work, more often.

Congrats OP! Thats so exciting!

But, your life is about to change forever. Go out and do stuff now, literally anything, before it becomes infinitely more complicated just to leave your house.

(I love my kids, I swear 😂)

Getting out during the week makes me resent my job less! When I'm having fun/being fulfilled elsewhere, I don't reply on it as much at work. Even if it's meeting a friend to go grocery shopping or on a walk or to a workout class. A book club, trip to the beach (depending on where you live) or getting out to watch the sunset. Game changer.

I am happier and more energized the more social interaction I have. I think we’ve lost sight of how much being around other people makes us feel a little more human. I’m even happy having a drink or dinner by myself as long as it’s in a restaurant or bar.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
