MTS1, I think I generally don’t enjoy networking events, but I would convince myself to go when I was single because there was a chance I could meet someone.

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

I once called someone in the 'C' suite out for being completely disorganized. I followed it up by offering project management advice. The conversation got pretty heated. I still have my job and we seem to have moved past it but I wonder if that interaction will have a negative consequence down the road. I don't regret it and would do it again, just maybe a little more tactfully but I was looking out for my operation and one of the managers that reports to me.

I was taking a friend to the airport and her flight was delayed, so we stopped at a restaurant to see a mutual friend who was eating there with her entire extended family. There was an empty table next to them with several half-eaten pies on it, so I assumed a previous party had just finished their meal and left. I finished off 4 of the pies and then left to get my friend to the airport. Turns out the pies were part of an employee appreciation dinner for the servers and so (finished in comment)

Looking for advice. My wife and I moved into a nice 4 bedroom. I would like to have one room for my office (fully remote consultant). We don’t have kids yet. She wants 3 kids and all 3 have their own room. I want 2 and would like if they are the same gender to share a room. (Atleast before teenagers). I grew up sharing a room and it was great. So did her dad and uncle. Obviously I think we shouldn’t be discussing this until it’s relevant when we have kids but she won’t drop it.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job
