What to do with a few hours in Houston? Let's assume 3-4 hours either in downtown or including travel from there.

I meant to say that I'll already be in downtown and have 3-4 hours to spend there. But if there is a recommendation outside of downtown, I'd have the 3-4, hours minus travel from downtown.

MFA is a pass. It was very mediocre imho.

First, I’m spoiled and I realize it. Within the last 6 months I’ve hit Tokyo’s museums, The Met, MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, SF-MOMA, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Modern in Fort Worth, the Rijktmuseum and MOCA and a dozen or so gallery shows. The MFA was the only museum/show I got bored in. I love museums and I love and collect art. The curating seemed to be very wonky and artist-driven.

It dived deeper and spent time exploring artists who would not be otherwise recognized, which is in someways noble. However, it really felt they were giving retrospectives to all these artists that didn’t have the body of work to support it.

My two cents, but I have a basis for my opinion.

Museum of Fine Arts or the Science Museum... or the other 20ish in that area about 5-10mins south of downtown. Can easily take the train, or uber of course

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Hi All,

Any news on bonus this year?

I’m a female who lives with my SO. We’ve been dating for years and we fight a lot so it’s possible a breakup is near. Do you think it would be difficult to date while living with my ex as roommates in a 2br/2ba? We have a lease that’s not even halfway done. In other words, would a man be uninterested in a woman who’s living with her ex (but of course being appropriate after the breakup)?
