I also like teams, collaborative environments and open work spaces. Same.

Unless you're an influencer and it's literally how you earn your money I totally agree. ETA: But I still love a good filter. I have a few acquaintances here who, I think, want to become influencers. But they have like 750 followers. That doesn’t stop them from trying to get the perfect shot for 90% of them time we hang out. It’s so weird. When you hang out? I would be over that after about 10 seconds.

I guess my UO is that I don’t understand the concept of a 2 week notice. Why 2 weeks? I’d like to think that no matter how much prep and training we do in 2 weeks, it won’t cover my job, so why should I waste my time here for 2 whole weeks. It is 21 days here, but you are right. When I left my last position to move over here I gave the 21 days and they still wanted more. I didn't start training anyone until the last couple days.

I really give no fucks about the pageant. I don’t watch nor do I care, it’s not my thing. I like murder shows. But, these woman willingly participate. I don’t judge them just like I don’t judge an IFBB pro, an exotic dancer or anyone else that uses their body in a non-conventional way. It’s their thing, not mine.

Every time we get a rental on vacation it is always a minivan and we hate them so much. I’m all about the SUV. I love mine 100% for the doors. If they made an SUV with those doors I would be on it. I car pool a lot and have to park in tight spots.

Happy Birthday fikafairy! I'm really sorry that your H didn't acknowledge your birthday and I'm sorry it wasn't the first time. Can you do something nice for yourself today? Maybe take yourself out to lunch?

I don't know. I have tried various electric ones over the years and currently have a fancy Oral-B electric. I just can't get the pressure right, and my teeth don't feel clean enough. I keep going back to the manual toothbrush.
I am coming in hot with the wild topic today.

I don’t mind pagents. I believe most of the women competing do a lot in their communities and with charities. I also think there’s room to celebrate beauty and intellect.

It is rude to ask family/friends to drive you to the airport if you book a flight that is super early/late. No one wants to wake up at 4:00 AM to drive you to the airport. You booked that flight, find your own damn way to the airport instead of guilting family/friends. I would never ask. ROOOOOD.

Minivans are bloated spaceships that are low to the ground. SUVs all day. Lol this is so accurate.

I want to do away with your traditional 4 year degree. Why four years? So much time is wasted. We should be focusing on trade schools and revamping college majors/areas of study to have a degree length reflective of that particular industry/area. Not everything should fit into this perfect 4 year degree program. Some more. Some less. Otherwise, it feels like some degrees are just fang receipts and not a mastery of subject.

Beauty contest/pageant = being judged on ::gasp:: their appearance. Not my idea of an entertaining show but I don't find a lot of those types of shows interesting.

I think pageants can also be a source for scholarships and I know a lot of the young women work very hard to be in them. I don't think they're only negative.

But yeah, we will all be drinking wine and jane doe is off in the corner balancing her wine on the edge of the Seine river and furiously typing hashtags. I like one of two clever hashtags, but if it’s more than that I’m scrolling to the next photo wondering how you have time to write out 20 hashtags.

I am fine with teams, but I really don't like open offices. I've honestly never met anyone who did like them. @gentleapricot, I'm curious why you like them. There are certainly various levels of “open offices” but in the spaces I’ve been apart of, it motivates people to collaborate, ask questions, learn things outside of what they normally would, etc. I like loud, buzzing minds.

The 4 year college experience is way more than academics and building your professional/trade career.

This makes sense. I get distracted v v easily. Lol. My coworker that sits adjacent from me has a sticky note on her computer to remind her to stop talking so much.

Fuck no to shortening college. Those 4 years were the besttttt. I mean, if you want to shorten it, work to graduate early. But some of us have no business having a real job during that period of our life and college is the best place for us.
