I struggled with binge drinking for many years after my mom passed away. I have been sober for the past 12 months. My husband has struggled with drinking for a long time as well, and just got done serving a 6 month sentence for his second DUI (on ankle bracelet at home for 4 months of the sentence). He got out of jail this week, and he has drank almost everyday since. He says he is different now, and can control himself (i.e, he won't be abusive or drive). Continued in comments..

How much do Desis working in the usa spend on clothes? No matter how much my salary increases, I cannot get myself to spend over $20 on a piece of clothing. I’m stuck with a ton of clothes from BR, old navy, jcrew, Ann Taylor. I’m starting to think that now, they look cheap. Trying to understand what others do.

I may have prematurely accepted an offer. I received an offer from another firm less than 24 hours after accepting my offer at firm 1. Would it be bad to rescind my acceptance?

Those of you who have left a firm, do you still keep in touch with any of your former supervisors, via email, happy hour, or otherwise? How long did you wait to re establish contact? I’m in a small market and worry about perception at my current firm. TIA

Considering a change of career!
I have a six figure job working as a hotel General Manager in NYC. After 20 + years in the industry I am no longer interested in staying in it. I’ve worked too hard to get to where I am at but no longer happy. What industry can I get into that will still pay me six figures and use similar skill set?

What if, just listen to me, god is punishing us with COVID for letting Star Wars come out with those last three abysmal movies.

Hi folks! Quarantine has me rethinking my career choices. So of course I’m exploring what’s out there. Anyone here work for Amazon in their Risk Management group? Would love to connect and learn more about what they do. TIA!

PST 🐠 watching TV & celebrating at home.

What channel is Dick Clack's Rockin New Years Eve with Ryan Seacrest and the ball drop on? I saw a bit at 8:30pm on ABC, but then midnight EST happened. Don't they usually replay it for PST? I literally can't find the whole thing on TV, or YouTube, just tiny occasional snippets of Puerto Rico or nyc chatting with the crowd.

Getting annoyed. I don't have cable, only appletv with apps.

Anyone else seriously considering nomad life for 2021? I’m DC-based but starting the research process for living in different SW and west coast cities for a lot of next year. I’d put all my stuff in storage here and do 8 or so months living in Airbnbs in different cities. I’m recently divorced and it feels like the time is now! I can’t imagine having to go back to in person office life anytime before next fall.

Reached out to someone in my network about a role at their company to learn more about the company and culture, to which they cc’d an HR contact that’s the point of contact for that role, who “would be willing to answer any questions I have”. What am I supposed to ask this HR person? Clearly I’m interested in the role but don’t want to outright say “hello, please see attached a copy of my resume.”

My company’s new hybrid working model was finally announced. We’re in a high COL west coast city, but not tech so pay is mediocre. Option A is office/wfh combo. The office downsized, so hot desking 3 days, WFH 2 days. No stipend for supplies, internet, phone. Option B- We can apply for FT remote if we move, but will get a paycut for lower COL areas. No raises for higher COL moves. Still no stipend. Multi-billion $ company, did great bc of the pandemic. How mad should I be?

If today was your last day on earth, what are 3-5 things you want to be celebrated for or acknowledged for?
