I’ve been thinking about changing providers… the company we work with at the moment is located in Europe. They’re awesome but with inflation and all, their prices have gone up significantly. To what other regions can I turn an eye for supplies? This is for party rental supplies, by the way!

Any fish still awake and working? 😀

During my job search, I am getting a lot of recruiters asking for me to answer right to represent emails. These particular recruiters follow a same pattern and seem unprofessional.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Oh boy it was chilly tonight! Not ready for whats to come 😭

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.

I’m struggling with the automation tasks I’m given (primarily Excel) but don’t exactly know what programming skills I’m missing to go learn them.
