Homeboy is low-balling you to service himself. Call him out. He will let it go.

Stop replying. Done and done.

Ugh. I feel you. I recently had someone try to convince me to leave my permanent job as a strategy director for a contract job as a senior strategist at a less prestigious agency. Do your homework, recruiters.

Don’t respond

In commercial real estate, is Underwriting or Asset Management a better career path?

I‘ve been in a relationship for 2 years, and my avoidant tendencies flare up every so often when I feel let down by my SO — e.g., usually when he’s blanked on something he should have done to make me feel more supported in work or social contexts. He knows this about me and supports me wholeheartedly as I continue to work through it — but I know I can be quite cold and distant in these rare but painful moments. How do others work through this, if at all?

You know the Pandemic life is getting “real” when your senior dog runs to you and cries. When you follow her you see her brother aka the cat is laying in the only sun patch. True story!

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

Lots of respect for the staffers at Spotify if they end up walking out of their jobs for something they believe in. That said what a sad mess we have gotten ourselves into when we try and censor every dissenting opinion as hate speech, especially when Joe Rogan has exhibited more journalistic value than most major news networks.
