Was going to use this comment thread to ask if I should choose Chicago or NYC if given the promotion I’m up for, but at this point I think I’ll sit back and watch the crossfire.
I would’ve resented this take after my first time through the series, but after aging a bit and re-watching (okay, fine, re-watching 4x) I grow increasingly annoyed with Pam.
Text breakup-er: I had the same sort of stale, feel-nothing breakup after two years. If it was really that easy for you to end it, then it should be no trouble for you to have a short talk with her. Without it you might be rattling her entire dating perspective. She deserves some closure.
BBQ, like pizza, is one of those foods that every city sets out to prove they can be good at. Side note, looks like I’m picking up Joe’s KC on my way home to reaffirm my position of KC > everybody
I think I fall into the “extroverted introvert” category, so I can’t go “full asshole”. I still want to be invited to things. I’ll probably attend half of them, but if you prod me after I say no, that’s when we’ve got a problem.
Any postgrad male attending a wedding should make it a point to find the father of the bride, introduce yourself, and thank him for hosting. It’s what a DCO true player for real would do. As a bonus, when you’re out making a fool of yourself on the dance floor later, he’ll be more likely to view you as a fun guy than his new son-in-law’s freeloading drunk friend.
To go along with #2, be ready and willing to go along with the whole process – pictures, waiting to make the entrance into the reception, etc. It’s the bride’s day. Don’t be a degenerate until the dancing starts.
Meh. I get it as a floating holiday. Would rather use it on a spring Friday and hit the links. Then again, you are from Yuma, so you could probably get out and play in January.
I ween myself off like some sort of addict. The tree and outdoor lights come down the weekend after New Year’s, but I leave the strands of lights used as decorations other places (TV stand, etc.) for most of January. Damnit, if it’s going to be -11 and dark all the time, I’m going to soak in that Christmas-y warmth.
Had our first at 26, hoping to have them all done by 30. Lots of people think we’re crazy but I’m going to enjoy being in our mid 50’s and having those long tenured salaries to do whatever we please with.
There’s always exceptions (sickness, disorders, etc) and by God it’s tiring sometimes, but I’ll let you in on a little parenting secret. It’s not that hard. People are dramatic.
You described darkness in such a profound way that I always felt but could never put into words.
I’m happily married, but can relate. The times that I didn’t have someone, I dreaded the night coming. It can feel like it’s physically pushing the loneliness in on you. When I’ve had someone, night feels, as you put it, airy and light. I go on walks and it feels so nicely serene.

The Office and New Girl (first 3 seasons, primarily) are my sweet spot.

I need to get to a private firm. Damn stockholders and their “fiscal responsibility”
The first few trips to a S/O’s family place is especially terrible. As the newbie, there are no ways to quietly sneak away without someone noticing.

Their new line of commercials basically admit, “yeah, it’s actually bad for you, but fuck it.”

I’m getting anxious just thinking about this. Two truths and a lie was the bane of my existence.
Same here. I think when you’re in a specific industry and the talent pool is pretty well defined, it’s a decent way to be found.
They said I couldn’t do it.
They were right. I didn’t actually provide value to a real company.
So I started a worthless “marketing” company so that I could add CEO to my profile.
Now that this LinkedIn post has been shared I will add “Influencer”.
-LinkedIn user, probably.

Of course a day off is better than not, but is a Monday in mid-January really that exciting?
Mornings are rough. How anyone with kids and a clock-watching boss is able to get to work on time, I’ll never know.
