I've been out of work for almost 3 years. I've had to make a ton of changes over that time, including moving out of my city. Another thing I've done is take charge of creating my own opportunities by running Zoom networking for anyone creating for the screen. If anyone is interested in connecting to other creators, let me know.

That’s an amazing way to stay proactive! Three years is a long time, but it sounds like you’ve been making the most of it. Networking is everything, especially in creative fields. I’d love to hear more about your Zoom networking group.. always looking to connect with other creators!

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!

How much is too much when pushing for a raise? I’ve been in my position a little over 1 year, received top scores in my annual review, kept my team intact, yet I’m paid at the lowest salary band for my level. Manager has said multiple times she would look into a raise for me but nothing has happened. Person before me in this role was earning +$17K than me. How many times do I have to ask?
