LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I would wait for your final offer… I only say that from experience. When I quit my last job, I was still negotiating salary with a new employer and 2 nights before my last day I got an email stating “we can’t pay your required amount.” So better to have everything in writing and finalized. 020
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Not to give toxic positivity vibes, but sometimes positions that pay a little lower end up having greater growth potential. 120
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 28/09/2026That is an awesome jacket… if it wasn’t yours already, I hope it came home with you. 110
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I too would have stayed in college forever… Probably why I have 3 master’s degrees and a JD 😂 130
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Ugh… Doesn’t mean it’s a no; it could just be they were over ambitious with their hiring timeline. 110

LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I need to do those as well as shingles and pneumonia (yay for turning 50). Need to figure out when to get them between allergy shots. 280
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Can you start using your PTO on the days they don’t call you in? That way you’ll have fewer potential unpaid days? 010
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I built my house about 2 years ago and I have been arguing with the builder about the hardwoods this whole time… Like y’all have insurance fix them. 010
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Sounds like a good option! I hope it works out to give you something consistent and with benefits. 020
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I saw this sweet little one in Zadar, Croaking earlier today. 010
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Thought of @gretchemaben.bsky.social today when I went truffle hunting and got to pet cute dogs. 110
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 23/08/2026My 50th birthday trip started with a flight SNAFU that worked out in the best possible way… Lunch with 2 of my closest friends. Then an upgrade to business class (I still hate Lufthansa) on my transatlantic flight. Made it to Zagreb, Croatia this afternoon. This is the view from my room. 000
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 21/08/2026None of my friends has a referral I’d be willing to pass on. Sorry… One did say that she has a dentist that takes dental insurance if you need one. 100
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Unfortunately I didn’t have a PCP when I lived in DC, but I still have friends in the area and would be happy to ask for names for you. 100
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Then depending on whether you are willing to look for a new PCP, you tell them that you are not sure you can trust a practice that has seemingly deceptive business practices.” 110
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 18/08/2026You make a phone call to the practice manager and express your “extreme disappointment in the billing situation and the poor training of the staff for not making it clear that you couldn’t establish care at an annual physical. I would hope that you will pull this claim and credit my account.” 221
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Awww! Thankfully she won’t remember. Taking a NICU nurse friend is smart because your friend can do the draw if the phlebotomist can’t. My aunt always takes her anesthesiologist husband so when they can’t get a good stick, her husband does it. 020
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 05/08/2026But maybe they’ll let him lay on a gurney in the hall 🤞 010
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I like Quince for reasonably priced clothes that are good quality. I’m a fan of Anthropologie for some fun/quirky stuff. Like J Crew and Banana Republic too. 010
LaurenEsq @lbkart.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Soap or olive oil? Diuretic (not really serious about this one)? 100
