How was everyone's Easter? I know holidays can be rough and just wanted to see how everyone is holding up?

Fortunately for me, holidays are simply a reason to celebrate that particular holiday, they no longer hold on any drinking connotations anymore.

It took work to get there, but once the obsession was removed, it was removed wholly and completely. I do have a few family members who drink and even get drunk on occasion, and it's simply a reminder that they don't drink like I did.

Honestly, Easter was great for me. Luckily my family doesn't do the whole "lets get drunk at brunch" on Easter thing and we just attend mass and have a fairly wholesome day. It's usually the BBQ holidays that are most triggering for me....starting with Memorial Day, ending with Labor Day.

Thanksgiving will always be the worst 🤬

Thanks for checking in. Mine was fine, I was invited to a friend's for dinner and that friend has quit drinking for non alcoholic medical reasons so it was pretty tame.

Mine was pretty good. I always really enjoy a long weekend to spend with friends and family. I had a pretty relaxing weekend which was really nice.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

I started working for a bank and am going through the background check. They found an arrest which was dismissed and the file was sealed a few days after the check. They’re requesting the police report on top of the court order to seal. The police report is BAD. During the arrest (DUI) they wrote the report to make me seem like a complete lunatic. Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.
