February is rough. Otherwise there’s a decent amount of sun you just need a good coat. And boots.

I was just complaining about winter weather with a life long Chicago resident and colleague. He said it snowed there last week and won’t warm up again until late April at best.

Yeah. 0% chance I could ever do that. I lived in Amsterdam for some years and it was so dark and so cold for so long. It makes DC where I am now seem not so bad.

DC is not bad at all.

Yup it’s true that the cold weather can go through till April, but I think it’s the first time in a long while that it’s snowed this early. A few years ago, we got our first snow around Christmas.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

We had a trip planned this weekend that I’ve been looking forward to for months.

Now the trip is canceled because we have to carry through with consequences and show a unified front. Now I’m pissed because it was a stupid consequence and I’m being punished more than our kid is. Ugh.
