My family always asks what I do for work. I give general answers, but they want more details. How much do you share with people outside your overemployed bubble?

yup I would generalize too. Also if you've ever felt you could use support for either J1/2 projects, meetings, emails, stories, and communications, I can fully support remotely and provide you summarized daily report. You can focus on what matters the most and run OE the longest.

I find that patterns get noticed by manages and cause burnout.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
