Is getting a suit pressed less wear than actually getting it dry cleaned? Need to keep them looking crisp but the travel obviously keeps getting them creased up and don’t want to over dry clean them.

Yes. Dry cleaning uses chemicals to basically burn off part of the fabric.

Also look at different suitcase that won’t crease your suits / shirts. I use the Briggs and Riley domestic carryon garment bag - it’s different from normal roller-boards because it has a completely separate compartment with full divider from the other compartment, so it doesn’t put pressure on the garments and cause creases / wrinkles. Highly worthwhile investment.

Also be sure you're hanging them each night. That should be enough to release most wrinkles from the day.

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
