What do you like to do on the weekends? I obviously enjoy not having to work but have been finding myself bored and I almost like the idea of having structure to my day during the week better

I follow the 3 E's: eat, exercise, explore. Find a new breakfast place, walk a trail or beltline, then do something new (musuem, event, movie, hobby) or buy something new (records, books, etc). Favorites include the Plaza Theater, little 5 record shop by the Vorrtex, and trails just north of atl like Indian Seats

Wax & Facts and Criminal Records are the names of the record stores. Criminal Records used to do in store mini shows. Saw Janelle Monae perform there when I first moved to Atlanta 10+ years ago, long before she blew up and won an Oscar. Music is THRIVING here. Many places to go catch smaller live shows and buy records locally, as you said. The Earl, the Tabernacle, the Eastern, Terminal West …. You can’t go wrong, really. Cheers!

There are a million great trails for running, hiking, walking, biking, etc. if you enjoy that. The Beltline is great for all of those, plus goes through the best parts of town and hits great restaurants, bars, stuff to do, people watching…

Go to the park and lay out a blanket and read/listen to music and eat or take a little nap. Pro tip on this is to bring a blanket or soccer mom chair

Atlanta is…fine.

If I'm not traveling somewhere normally relaxing, beltline, walking/hiking trails or the park, museums, local events going on (there's literally always something happening in Atlanta on any given day), drinks, hookah, trying new restaurants, videogames, new movies and shows etc

I live on Westside so tons to do. Breweries with friends, hit a restaurant, walk in a park, go to a concert or dance party at the Masq, etc.

If you aren't one to go out pick up a new hobby you can do solo. I play guitar, make YT videos, stream, play video games, read, lift weights. Get enough hobbies started and pretty soon you won't have time to do all of them and will WISH you had more downtime.

Last weekend, I went to a cigar bar in Smyrna. Was pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had.

I go to a fitness class, volunteer, and the go to a charity social event or a cool restaurant. So many neighborhoods to explore that you can’t get bored. From Buford highway to the beltline.

I golf

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews. I have an offer on the table from Amazon but with Google I am officially in team matching and my recruiter tells me that the queue is pretty backed up now and it can take a long time. My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.

Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Yesterday was a good day. I was really impressed with myself. I woke up at 5, practiced dance lessons, did two water colors, made breakfast and tea, got to work by 10, put in 8-10 hours of solid work and then came home. It’s been ages since I painted or danced.
However today, I slept till 7:00, did not work out or have food. Still got to work by 10 and did 8 solid hours of work.
Some days are good and some are just okay. And that is okay. Trying to build on my good days and we all can. :)
