Probably going to celebrate my birthday alone again 🥲 coz
- A: Single since many years and not a close relationship w family who live also in another country
- B: don’t really have friends to celebrate with. Only have 2 friends here (not very close) and I’m too embarrassed to go celebrate just the 3 of us bc I don’t have anyone else 🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy early birthday! While I do appreciate a solo celebration, I just wanted to say there’s nothing wrong with celebrating with 1 or 2 friends. The older I get, the more I appreciate dinner and drinks with one or two people on my birthday.

Who cares? 3 people is still a fun time. Go out and have fun with your friends OP! Literally no one will judge (and if they do, well they’re a stranger anyways).

This. People have small birthday celebrations or dinners all the time.

I always take a day off on my bday and spend it alone! It’s my ‘pamper me’ day. Spa, mani/pedi, massage….whatever me, myself and I feel like that day. It’s become a tradition and I love it. You are the most important person to yourself in this life, so go out and spoil yourself on your bday. Oh…and happy bday!!

Love it!! 💫🥰

Happy birthday!! I feel you. Very common!

Go out and celebrate with your two friends - many marrieds just go out as a two - so you're 50% up on that. And give yourself a birthday treat - for example a day at the spa or whatever else floats your boat. Take charge of your own happiness and just do the things which bring you joy.

Mid level Electrical Engineer in the greater Baltimore, MD area making $115k base w/ $20k sign on bonus. No yearly bonus. I started this job in April of this year. 2-3 years experience. When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back. HM said we are good to go for interview and sent an invite. On the day of interview nobody turned up, neither they gave an update later. She did follow up for a couple of days but no response. Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.

Ladiessss how do you deal with PMS? I’ve started to get migraines every month and I know plenty of women who have it WAY worse.

And men, would it make you uncomfortable if a woman missed 1-2 days of work a month b/c of her period?
