How would everyone describe their workplace? Like, is it a pretty chill place? Did you have to deal with a bunch of April Fool's Pranks all day? I usually don't mind the casual atmosphere of my office but the juvenile pranking today was out of hand. It was like I was working with a bunch of 8th grade boys.

Haha, I totally get that! My office is usually pretty laid-back, but some people take April Fool's way too far. It can be fun in moderation, but when it gets over the top, it just feels like a distraction. Sometimes, I wish they'd keep it professional, pranks should be kept in check at the office, for sure

I was lucky enough to get through April Fools Day without having to deal with any stupid pranks. I don't love my office, but I'm very glad everyone is at least professional enough to not interrupt each other trying to be like Jim from the office. It's exhausting.

Luckily my current place of employment is more mature than this so I didn’t have to deal with in office April fools jokes. But my last company was a different story. The department heads and the ceo loved their pranks

My office was pretty casual. I do think every podcast I listen to had the same type of fake news episode. The annoying part is some are queued up so I don’t listen to them right away. I’ll get to some next week and forget it’s a an April fools episode and waste my time :(

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
