@Barc1, for clothes go for the vacuum bags - still saves space plus if after 1yr you haven't thought of those clothes and wanted to open the bag to get them, you're probably ok giving them away.

Hi all! I was asked coordinate a local happy hour for my team. The issue I’m having is that I’m currently pregnant and am not sure if I’m comfortable to hang out with strangers. What’s the most professional way to say no without hurting feelings / burning bridges? Or should I suck it up and go?

I'm in North Carolina... and I resigned after eighteen years, with MONTHS of leave I'd accrued and never used. The sheer amount of work put on us was the proverbial straw (documenting EVERY student and parent contact, attendance, then updating attendance, grace-filled grades with no accountability from students, on TOP of the extra state requirements requiring IEP changes from switching back to all virtual from hybrid, and vice-versa.) I am done. I'm just done. And bummed about all that leave...

How many weeks of maternity leave does Accenture has?

I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

Got a missed call from an ex today after about 5 years. I was excited as I may still have feelings for her. Was getting ready to call back but got a text that her 3 year old accidentally dialed. Didn’t even know she met someone let alone had a kid.
