Lost my job unexpectedly, and the part I'm most sad about is that I'd promised my wife I'd take her to Thailand at the end of this year. Considering I had a lot of bills to take care of until now, and was planning to save up for the trip starting this month, I'm really feeling lost and flustered. What a great way to end the month.... and I thought this was going to be my year!

Thailand is really cheap once you get there. Obviously, getting there isn't cheap, but if you can manage the air tickets, you can make it happen. You never know, you might get a job soon and still be able to take the wife on this trip! Hang in there, things will work out.

I'm sorry that happened and that you may not be able to take your wife on the trip. Take a break, a few days off before you job search. Ask your network and see if there's anyone that can give you a referral.

Ugh I'm really sorry. I think your wife will be understanding, nobody can anticipate these things and I'm sure you will make it to Thailand in the next few years once you get back on your feet but it's not worth putting it on credit cards or something

Trust me, I’ve been there since being laid off, too. You are in between survival mode and grieving the things you were going to do. Things happen, the important part is dealing with them the best you can with what you’ve got right now. You could always do something small, but thoughtful. Thai-inspired decor or a little meal out!

I'm right there with you my friend. I had to cancel our trip to Bora Bora in May because I could not justify spending so much now that we've got to budget tightly. I felt awful about it, and seeing one of my friends' pictures from taking the exact same trip earlier this month isn't doing much for my morale. Here's hoping 2026 is better for all of us. 2025 can pound sand.

What certifications are good for technical project manager? I was thinking to start with PSM and PSPO and then move to ITIL, ITSM. Not sure about this though. Not planning to do PMP as I think it’s more waterfall focused. Was also thinking about AWS. Any other certifications recommended?

I’ve been a paralegal for about 30 years in private law firmS. As I get older, I feel like it’s time for a semi-career change. Either an office manager position or perhaps a corporate position where I can travel a little since my kids are grown and I’m an empty-nester. Has anyone made this type of transition? Advise welcome. TIA
