Have my last mysterious absence from work before I give my notice. Should I go with the standard “family member’s engagement party” or spice it up and say I’m trying to win back an ex?

me: how can i help you today?
customer: can you get me a younger wife who talks less?
me: …

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

The sudden death of a friend has made me realize that my obsession with goals has caused me to miss out on so much of my life. How can I learn to refocus and make time for the people in my life?

Okay, we live in an pet friendly apartment in downtown Chicago. I love dogs while my SO is just getting comfortable with so many of them in our apartment complex. I really really want to get one home but it might just bum him out. Any leads on how to approach this situation? I thought fostering might help.

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

To those of you resistant to family cars - I’m a sports car driving, fast car loving, low to the ground kind of mom-to-be. (e.g. no back seat, no back doors). Obvi I need to get a new car but what isn’t too large, makes sense for a 3 person family (no more kids coming), while not sacrificing my need for speed and desire for a smaller/low to the ground/well handling ride? So far considering an S4 /S5, 3 or 4 series. Back doors seems to be a requirement for getting in and out of a car seat huh!🙄

Hi fishes

I heard that some of my friends are doing multiple full time jobs same time. Is that allowed? Will there be any impacts going forward? If yes what are they?

Can you please explain

My dog walker just told me she’s moving and I don’t know of anyone else who provides dog walking services in my neighborhood.
I work 9-10 hour shifts. My girl and I get lots of exercise in the evenings, and she does not have anxiety being alone.. but I’m worried.

For those that work 8hr+/day, what do you do?

Work from home is not an option for me right now.

How do you know if you have good hygiene? my ex told me I don’t

This is my routine:
- I have curly hair, can only wash it once a week/put dry shampoo if needed
- I brush my teeth 2 times a day
- Wear deodorant / perfume every day (my way, and good girl) and shave off any hair (I did laser but still), as much as possible. Some days, I cannot keep up with shaving (especially if it won’t show)
- I wear pantyliners and change it once a day/ change panties once a day
- I shower my body every day

Working from home in customer support provides so much flexibility as a stay at home mom. I can take care of the home, my babies and work without feeling guilty ….talk about mutli-tasking!

Did yall hear about the Chicago mom who had her kid taken away because she wouldn't accept that her child was transgender? As a parent, that's actually kind of scary that the government would that with no basis of abuse or neglect. Smh

I'm 32 y/o. I moved to Union City (East Bay) during COVID, and I struggle to make new friends. Any recommendations on channels/platforms/volunteer progroms to make new friends?

He said he wouldn’t marry me unless I follow him back to his home country. Make the leap for love or don’t settle for someone who decides on geography over you?

Correct me if I'm wrong... For those who are older than I am.. I feel like a long term partner and marriage is really not what I envision at the beginning. Its more of just settling for what it is and compromising?

Someday, somewhere, over cocktails, I need a competent Littler labor attorney to explain Starbucks’ strategy to me. Because it seems really, not great.

Follow up etiquette advice needed (public relations industry) : hey everyone- needed some advice on if it’s appropriate to leverage offers and everything within the PR digital industry. I’m expecting an offer soon with a firm, and I’m in the last stage at another. Is it appropriate to send an email to firm one telling them I’m in final stages with another and asking where I stand to maybe get an offer faster? Any insight would be great!

Hi, i got an offer from Oracle India, but didn't joined as i heard about their hike policy, Also got a better counter offer.

Will I be able to rejoin Oracle India? Please help.

A recruiter at a potential exit opportunity has been working with me to identify a few roles. I received an email from recruiter about a solid role and a hiring manager that wants to interview me. Problem is that although the role is good and there are some elements I like, I am not interested in doing some of the job responsibilities. How do I politely decline that potential opportunity and still leave it open for a new one? Also while waiting for a few role opportunities, I got promoted to mgr
