How to find a hobby?
24/m moved to a new city and I need to build a social cycle here.
I’m making progress, but I’m noticing that I don’t really have a hobby. Precovid travelling was my hobby but now that it’s gone I feel a little “lost”. I also loved going to the range but was diagnosed with epilepsy so I can’t anymore
I bought a car to go on roadtrips and hikes but it still gets a little lonely. Also noticing that a lot of my friends are starting to be in relationships so we spend less time tg

Thoughts on Cove Haven Resorts in the Poconos? My wife and I love it there and are about to go for a third time. Curious if anyone else has been and how they liked it. I recommend it, it’s surprisingly enjoyable despite being a bit corny.

I started a new job as an “office manager” at the end of January. The duties seem to align more with those of an EA, and I’m ok with that. Except my boss is a control freak. He scolds me over every little thing, how I load the dishwasher, maybe I didn’t push my chair in. Last week he told me I needed to work on my appearance. I was shocked. I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?

Hello everyone! Please is there anyone who could kindly give a referral for the associate, compliance, risk and due diligence role (Canada) advertised by Kroll? I have been trying to reach the recruiter for ages! I would be really grateful. Thank you.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

About to start traveling and would like to build up points with an airline....who would you suggest between delta & AA?

My director tried to tell me "a hack" to maintain airline status and said I just had to get the airline credit card and spend $30,000 and I could keep status without ever stepping on a plane...
