Wife and I (older and no kids) having a very decadent dinner at home tonight. Wednesday is usually date night but tonight she wanted a charcuterie board kind of dinner. I went to a butcher shop, cheese shop, farmers market, great bread. 2014 Barolo. This will be one I won’t forget.

I know life is not perfect and we all have e challenges, but not tonight. Wishing everyone a happy Wednesday.

Yes, definitely. I can tell about one recently. Or my really stressful today was because I didn’t accomplish a thing I needed to do (not wanted to) and I’m really feeling the pressure on revenue generation in the last quarter. I run the organization and have zero staff bandwidth to help me.

But right now my wife is finishing a conference call and I’m eating amazing bread and drinking great wine from glasses hand blown in Venice (Murano). I should add that by standards of this bowl, I’m pretty upper middle class not wealthy.

Salary $120 with side consulting $70 but I’m late in my career. There were years in the early 2000s where I really struggled with my career and hurt my relationship with my wife in the process. Man, that was tough. Couples counseling and an adult ADD diagnosis turned everything around in 2006.

Also committed to all three kids to finish college (including one masters degree) with zero debt, and helped all three with their first house. One daughter with a really big wedding too. So while no debt now, not lots in investment. We live fairly modestly - last big vacation was the one to Italy in 2019.

So I understand your point, but last night was a splurge for us. I think all in it costs the same as a good meal at a restaurant. I get nervous every time we use though wine glasses though 😳 🍷

Your feeling the need to post this, and more importantly the detail down to glass brand, is incredibly sad and shows the material void in true satisfaction you have in your life.

And don’t be too hard on MD1. 🐟 🥣 can be a little blunt sometimes and you need a thick skin. I don’t normally splurge like that but it’s fun once in a while. My happy place is whipping up a good meal as cheap and fast as possible.

Nice! Good bread is underrated, I feel like so many people end up going for cheap wonder bread, or for “high fiber whole wheat sandwich bread “ or whatever.

I believe a man can be great friends with a woman that he has chosen as his mate, wife, and partner for life.

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people. First of all highly inappropriate, but also it's nobody's business. She's made comments before outside of work about how her boss is gay, blah blah blah. I'm just at a loss. Should I report it to HR? And if I do, how do I do it without it being known that it came from me??

Having trouble landing a decent job, I am 4 years post bachelors, environmental science. I can not seem to land a job above minimum wage. My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs.

It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
