I love hosting get togethers at my house or events out, but I have half a dozen friends who ALWAYS reply maybe and won't actually commit, then decide minutes before. How can I change this behavior? It makes me feel crappy, like they are waiting for the next best option, and also makes it impossible for me to prepare (e.g., figuring out how much food to make for a dinner party).

Tilt is great for large events where flakiness is a problem. Everyone who wants to attend has to commit to pay something ($5, $10, whatever). The event only "tilts" if the prerequisite number of people commit, and then they are charged before the event happens. So if they flake they're out $X. I've found it helps force people to decide if they actually want to attend, and lowers the likelihood of the last minute flake

@ey1 he's incredibly charismatic. I feel like I'm that charismatic when I have a beer in my hand at happy hour. I don't understand why I don't get to be a lecturer on the leadership/business/generation gap/anything o feel like ranting about circuit. He's like an unfunny comedian!

@ey2 yes and since you're asking I either have too much or not nearly enough

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Has anyone else been in this situation?
