What’s true today was true yesterday and will be true tomorrow. And the truth is that catchers are getting all those pitches. Not sure why, that’s just the way it is.

I wouldn’t call them pitches because technically we don’t pitch (with rare exceptions), but we are wining a ton of business through other means.

Ladies, I need work/fashion tips. I work in center city Philadelphia. Our dress code is “business casual.” I want to implement more outfits with sneakers. I struggle with what hem length and pant style (tapered, flare, etc.) work best.
When I look on Pinterest, most of the results show very casual work outfits w/ sneaks & while I think dark wash jeans, blouse and blazers can look cute/presentable, it’s not appropriate for my office (I’m in healthcare).

What is the most recognised certification for IFRS (international Financial Reporting)?

I was a month in as Workday HCM Consultant with Accenture. They immediately throw me into the HCM courses to obtain my WD HCM certification. There are three parts HCM Essentials, HCM Applied, and HCM Practical. The passing score is 70 or above. I scored a 62 on the Essentials portion, I passed Applied, and at the end of this week Practical. During class, I received an “immediate connect” Team call and I was fired because of my low score. I'm devastated, and shocked. Yesterday was my birthday.

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

Any great resources I should check out?
