Treadmill under my desk, so I can walk and work at the same time. And 10 min of Pilates before bed.

I feel judged.

It has taken me, on average, 6 months to find new work each time I do it and I send hundreds of resumes. So I think you are doing the right things. It just sucks. Sometimes you can get a lead from someone you know and that gets your foot in the door.

Remember, you are reviewing them as an employer too. If they have a shitty applicant experience, that should play into your decision process (easier said than done when you just want to make rent).

Feel free to message me if you would like resume or other search help.

Try to touch a baby Canadian goose with the parent geese near by. WTF was that lady thinking!?!

Maybe… I depend on it for a bunch of stuff: my calendar, my personal and work email, communication with friends and family, getting my news, taking pictures of fun stuff I’m doing with my kids, reading books, grocery shopping, etc. During a recent power outage, I ended up going to a bookstore for a paper book, since that seemed to be the thing I missed most.

Romance novels are wildly popular (https://freakonomics.com/podcast/romance-novels/) and many of them are very explicit. I remember my mom and grandma (!!!) reading them while watching me and my brother when we were little - can you imagine watching a little porn while watching the kids? 😳

I once made cranberry jelly from scratch and then poured it into an empty can. Whatever recipe I used caused it to firm up pretty well, so it had all the ridges and everything.

I’m old enough that my early adulthood did not include cell phones (unless you count the brick phones), and certainly no Internet access. I enjoyed it more.

I know this isn’t an awesome answer, but safety is more important than standing your feminist ground sometimes: either go to another yoga class or bring a friend. It sux to rearrange your life because of some weirdo, but less than being attacked. Also, consider keeping mace or a whistle on you in case there is a confrontation.

Misuse, or misjudging when to use it.

Yeah, it is a bummer. But at this point, I’m old and used to it, and this is the fastest way to get traction on my ideas. 🤷

I ask leading questions that make people think an idea is theirs. Business people love their own ideas. A woman’s? Not so much.

Totally agree. In 2000, during the hanging chad debacle, I had a philosophy professor completely shift our class to the philosophy of voting. I found it endlessly fascinating and opened my thinking around voting. Here’s some good info on the topic: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/voting-methods/.

I’d pay $500 for a video of him saying “I’m a disgraced weirdo.”

Then they aren’t really about efficiency, are they? When properly set up, WFH for office work is very effective and efficient.

But I don’t want a plot that differs from classics like Hot Frosty and Knight Before Christmas.

Also, vote for levies to fund local schools.

In my particular case, it is called “working parent”

Oh my gosh what I wouldn’t do for pizza delivery! I have celiac and my kids are autistic, one of whom only eats like 7 things (pizza is not one). My husband gets a gold start for keeping us all fed/alive.

You have described his occupation perfectly. It’s not always as awesome as it sounds tho: tonight he had to referee 4 screaming boys in a bouncy house in our living room while making dinner. I’m happy to report everyone survived.
