  • The feeling is even better when they let you go because you no longer have a moral obligation to transition anything over to your coworkers. You can just fuck off and not feel bad. This typically highlights all the holes in management when they are ineffective at delegating your tasks and things get dropped. My husband witnessed this happen recently. They let an employee go nearly a year ago, then a client started sending emails wondering what was happening to their project and why there hadn’t been communication.



  • When I recently went off my medication, I would have random days where I was incredibly depressed as my body was trying to return to normal. The first day we moved into our house I started crying because I missed my dog who was staying with my parents temporarily. Without saying anything, my husband ran to the store and got me a pint of Jenny’s darkest Chocolate ice cream. And we ate the whole pint together. No judgement, just love.



  • My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!! I’ve been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho… very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don’t need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.




  • I second the freezer meals! What I like to do is make things that I can make a very large batch of to make food prep easier when I want a quick healthy meal. My favorites to make are chicken pot pie, pesto, kale pesto, pulled pork (not healthy), and falafel. All of these things take lots of time and or ingredients. So when you make them, you make a big massive batch and then divide them into meal portions for freezing. This way all I have to do is grab 1 portion of say pot pie, thaw it out in hot water or in the fridge the day before, pop it in the oven with some pie crust or crescent rolls on top for 25 min and BAM, I’m eating stuff from my garden in the middle of winter with little to no effort!
