People will be very friendly and kind to you, but getting them to hang out and spend time with you outside of work or whatever your commonality is will take long. Be patient. Also, leave the umbrella at home when it rains.

Thank you. I'm always very friendly to everyone and it rains more than ever here

It rains there ALOT. That was the thing I hated most about living there was how much it rained. I just found the weather to be slightly depressing. Other than that it is a beautiful place to live.

Actually, I personally think it's OK, because on rainy days we have more ways to relax at home. Music and reading are both good choices

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.
