My siblings and I spent the past several years helping to care for my mom. That made vacations difficult. She passed away a couple of months ago and I am still trying to wrap my mind around the possibility of vacation (I taught summer school until this past Thursday)

I've been there. My siblings and I took care of mom when she was ill. When she passed my siblings and I plan a sibling's trip each year. We are on year 17. We spend a lot of time reminiscing about Mom and our childhood. It's been super special.

You can then schedule your doctor's appointments, kids appointments and your mini getaways when we have a Monday off.

I always try to be as prepared as possible before starting a new school year. I like planning my vacation well in advance

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?
Iโ€™ve been in my current role for almost 4 years. While I am generally happy, & have flexibility with time off for personal matters, there are things that bother me. I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, Iโ€™m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me canโ€™t imagine taking on a new role while Iโ€™m in the middle of this. But also feel like I canโ€™t pass it up

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight.
