Someone used my mug while I worked from home yesterday and now the top is missing. I feel like this is a metaphor for my agency en masse.

Do desi consultants opt for 401K? Upside/downside?

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Hey everyone,

US Military Officer looking to move to Aus with SO at the beginning of next year. Planning my exit from the military as we speak. Anyone willing to connect to talk about their move?

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

Anyone listening to the podcast “Dr. Death”? Both fascinating and horrifying...

How’s everyone doing? Any struggle this week?

My family and I have been looking to move to an island. My spouse works remote and can relocate at any time. My firm has an office on said island, but they don’t pay me enough to live there. I would have to ask for a raise and to be relocated. I love my firm and the Partners that I work for, but I’m thinking of applying to other places that offer a more livable salary for the location. Would you just talk to the Partners at your current firm or look elsewhere?

I left my job without having anything else lined up otherwise I would have had a mental breakdown. I’m not even in that great of a financial place, but it was my job or my sanity. I know at least three other people who, in the past few months, have left with nothing lined up. I feel like it’s something we need to be talking more about. This isn’t normal for people to be doing this right?

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

My CEO was just ousted and I think he left a stash of weed in his old office

I’m 30. My friends’ weddings are piling up and I’m just... still very much single. Feel like it’s acceptable in NYC but also sorta depressing. Dating is hard.

Anyone else cursed with desperately wanting someone to tell you what to do to get better, but knowing that you would never listen?

I make poor decisions

I am stupidly rejecting recruiters with legit offers because I am waiting for The One. The offer to end all offers. But they are taking entirely too long to notify me. They keep telling me to hold on.

A jr team working on social part of a campaign, which I oversaw as well, just claimed credits on their social channels for my spots, which they didn’t concept, write, or produce... 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

Breakfast food is so much better and energizing at lunch (11:30 - 12:30) than it is early in the morning.

I was late to an interview.

I’m type A, never late, certainly not to an interview. I called & sent an email as soon as I knew I would be delayed. They had me come in anyway. Am I totally screwed?

"This program needs more proper documentation!"

In front of folks who don't understand code, you think you look smart. In front of those who know code - you're an idiot covering your incompetency.

Should I read anything into the fact that since being laid off I’m finally sleeping well?

I’m white.. and a man. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

I get so frustrated and annoyed when people make stupid common sense mistakes and I think it’s starting to affect my relationships. Don’t really know what to do.

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

My partner refuses to flatulate during waking hours around me. I feel this lack of intimacy is cause for alarm. I calmly mentioned my concerns and she doesn't feel comfortable speaking about the subject. Any suggestions?

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.
