Two of my close friends (and their families) live in Afghanistan, and I’ve not heard from them yet. I am extremely worried and stressed. Not sure what else to do. I can’t focus on work at all and wish there was more I could be doing.

Help! I moved into a new apt building in November. rent here is about 3k but avg rent in this area is way less.

Like I can sing along to the lyrics that’s how loud it is. It sounds like someone is running back and forth / moving furniture alllll day. It’s driving us insane.

I was being offered a position with a company with a team of talent reviewers and it turns out that they did an internal hiring instead and never reached out to me at all. I anticipated this move from the get-go so I was actively seeking other offers. Then this morning, the same company calls and asks if I’m still interested in the offer?!?

Rant:

I don’t like asking or being asked personal questions at work. I’ll respond with “that’s a personal question” or “why?” My fav: “don’t ask questions you don’t need to know the answer to.”

In all the years I’ve been at this job I have not made one attempt to get to know anyone, 3 people won’t let up. They ask hella questions or share their life story, then seem shocked when I’m like “this has nothing to do with me” or “why are you telling me this,” why won’t they stop? Leave me be!🫥🫥

I just deactivated my Instagram and FB account. Thinking of deleting my Snapchat since you can’t deactivate. I feel as though we spend our lives on social media and I’m trying to do a cleanse. Would you think it was weird if you met someone with no social media presence? I sometimes feel crazy for feeling like big brother is watching and feeling so ‘googable’ since I have a unique name. Sometimes I even wish I didn’t have a LinkedIn but in this day and age, I feel like it’s necessary - CONT’D
