NO. I noped out after the second cut, can't get through it. Nope, nope, nope. Not enough no in the world. I can't even sleep in a zipped sleeping bag

Haven't seen much mention in this thread, but also the constant air of impending layoffs, instability in the industry isn't great for the public perception, either.

As appealing as guillotines are, I've been thinking on this & wondering if a better option wouldn't be hefty non-dischargable fines (no wealth), lifetime ankle monitor, & hand them tools for a lifetime job doing CCC or FEMA reconstruction work. Forced actual civil service via manual labor.

I literally replied to the one i got to tell them how much i appreciated that, when getting *any* rejection is so rare. *Throws more resumes into the abyss*

I love that MD emails me to let me know my ballot has been sent to me! Got my email this morning, so now just need to watch the mail for the next few days.

at least 1x a year now. Since we're Of An Age, we're very not minimalist, but we insist on a tent & nightly fire. And i swear, sitting there late night & pre-dawn, listening to nature & chatting with our people, heals me & gives me opportunity to remember exactly what you're talking about

I can't do Philosophy, I've tried, i passed the classes & I just get stuck mentally spinning. But the thread collapse gave me these last couple-three posts & I'm compelled. No joke, i think scouting as a kid did this for me early, especially camping. I didn't camp much as a young adult, but i do+

Marginal ones, yes, unfortunately. The place i used to work for, thankfully up until i left at least, was ethical enough to mostly honor our author's wishes. But did specify a clause that overage from his fund could go into operating, & thus motivation to keep his stuff in print

"Never Forget." Yes, the woman who was born on Nov 10 to ensure we would never forget her birthday more than a day, made sure she died on an equally notable day so we can't forget that either. 😂 One year today. Miss you, Mom.

When we went, For 8 people, free dining was a no-brainer (saved about 5k). It was 1 sit, 1 fast, 2 snacks/day. We ended up doing 2 2-sit dinners (Castle & akershus), so we managed to use all the meals, & still ended up needing to kill something like 15 snacks last day. Took home many candy bags

They've been bringing back some bits of the removed bubble benefits, but that one especially & the price increases are among the reasons why we've not really tried to budget for a return trip just yet. I hope yours is delightful!

We did a group of 8 in 2019, youngest was 16, some returning, some first-timers. I did the bulk of planning and the entire thing (including the planning) was just *relaxing* to know our biggest concern was making it to dinner reservations on time. Disconnect and just sink into it for a week

We debated hard about refinishing vs painting the solid maple cabinets (original, built mid 60s), but we're hoping to move in the next couple years sadly accepted that whoever bought is probably going to paint anyway (or rip them out), so we got the pain over with, for exactly that reason.

Early March 2021: We can do the kitchen ourselves since we're only redoing the floor, painting the cabinets, adding a backsplash and new sink/counter. It's a tiny galley kitchen, how long could it take? That it was done in mid May, i consider a minor miracle now...

agree, though might ask me to do both so they can see. Great! The bad bosses would just demand "please just give me what i asked" and then ask for a bunch of changes until we end up at Z anyway. And then I got pegged as negative & a roadblock, and anyway now I'm looking for a job. 2/2

As a report writer, frequent convo: "I need a report of X" Cool, I can do that. What are you using it for? "To demonstrate Y." And who are you showing it to? "Audience A." You're asking for X, but I think what you really need is Z, for these reasons. The good bosses would generally 1/2

I'm not adhd (officially) and if I am, it's relatively inoffensive usually. But. The executive function peaks and valleys have become sharper in the past few years and my lists aren't as helpful. At least today has been a good day for flinging off follow-ups to a bunch of places. *sigh*

My own corner of the world is quirky for reasons, to preface. I'm a spreadsheet person (report writer, until recently) & non-spreadsheet people have decided that llms mean they don't need spreadsheet people, cause they do it themselves (even if wrong), & thus are making it difficult to find a job.
