Antwerp was very cool.

Ghent

Can have fun in either. Can't go wrong

Antwerp, Bruges or Ghent. Brussels is just another city with an airport

Counter point. We though Brussels was gross and sketchy. Perhaps we stayed in the wrong area, but I’ll never go back.

Antwerp over Brussels, Bruges over both.

Brugge

Bruges. Maybe I had a bad one-off experience but you couldn’t pay me to go back to Antwerp.

I have spent lots of time in Brussels and lived it. Gran Place, Belgian Army Museum,and Waterloo are well worth a visit. Bruges is even better. With 48 hours, i would do one day in Brussels and one in Bruges.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

I'm entering my final year of law school but am going part time since I work full time as a paralegal. I have been a paralegal for more 10+ years and I want to open my own firm after I pass the bar.

I've worked at a lot of different size firms including a startup with a few attorneys and I was able to help with a lot of the ground work with getting the practice management system in place and still do some of that now at my current firm. Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
