Curious: anyone dealt with an SO who wanted you to work less, but also wasn’t willing to take a quality of life hit of you exiting to a more chill job?

Just watched Humankind on Netflix. Its about editing genes, CRISPR CAS9 and so on. The thought was posed "imaging having the body of a 25 year old with the experience of a 130 year old." This thought is so seductive to me that I would be a test subject.

confession:i regret not prioritizing finding a good partner when i was in my college/early career years and envy those who did. it's harder now mid-senior career because you have less time and it actually requires you put time and effort into finding a good relationship

What is your coffee cut off time?

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below

Building out a new function at my company, top 15 bank in the US, and scheduled a 90 minute meeting last week for today. Invite included an agenda and a teams link to the document we would be reviewing. Also asked for attendees to review ahead. 20 minutes in, my co-worker exclaims while I’m mi-sentence we should meet Thurs. after having a chance to review content… WHAT?! What should I have done in that situation?

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Pic thread! Pic thread!! Pic thread damn it!!! Come on everyone!!!!!

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

I just watched Netflix's "How it Ends".

I am so blown away by the last like 20 mins of the movie. Like someone clearly edited most of the script up to that point then decided "eh the rest is probably good enough for no one to qc"

Staying downtown Columbus Hilton for my wife’s job conference and we have to use valet parking since I need to use my car to go to work every day. $40 a day, how much do I tip and is it when I drop my car off and when they bring it to me in the morning?

Mom went back to home country and I’ve been moping around holding back tears all day! Tell me it’s gonna be ok, I miss my mom 😭😭

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Beer is now cheaper than gas. Drink more, drive less 🤧
