We went to the beach for a bit yesterday and i tripped coming off the river bridge and scrapped my knee badly and felt very silly. Sigh.

Also, for your viewing pleasure these are my personal favorite spring blooms In Portugal. They come in a variety of colors and seem to grow everywhere. These are from my mom's garden and I'm pretty sure they are cape marguerite.

blurnette989, what beautiful flowers! another of my online friends, from another wonderfully progressive space, is moving to Portugal soon from Texas — as early as next month. I keep thinking I should connect you two.

My employer may never send us back to the office FT. Wow. They're talking about setting up a "hoteling" system, where people can reserve a desk for the day if they want/ need one.

My parents and brother left an hour ago to head back to NYS after an Easter visit and I already miss them. The kids adore their uncle and spent the morning trying to convince him to move here. If only!

Last month was a bonkers month at work. Glad that's behind me.
H got his first dose of Pfizer early this morning. So far, just a sore arm and tiredness (though that could be the 1 am appointment).

My H's company closed their local office last summer. He worked from home 99.99% of the time pre-pandemic anyway, but I'm sure it felt really weird to the sales staff etc that were used to going in every day.

My office culture wasn’t anti-WFH. My immediate supervisor gave us a ton of flexibility in that regard, but it wasn’t something people got to do all the time. I asked repeatedly for 2+ years for telework 1x/week before the executive said yes. Now they’re like, y’all are doing great. KOKO.

I’m feeling a bit shook. I posted that my neighbors are sadly going to sell their house soon (sad for me, happy for them as they retire!). She just told me how much it appraised for and it is $175k over what Redfin has as it’s current value. I knew things were bonkers but didn’t realize quite how bonkers. Redfin has our house up in value $150k since we bought 18 months!!! ago, which given our neighbor’s appraisal is probably even low. Like damn.

Ok I'm watching the trial but this is completely random and

also if you ever move to Boise and dont want to be outted as not native its Boy-see not Boy ZEE

I’m in a work session thing about civility in leadership. Most of it is good right? Talking about the behaviors you exhibit that make others feel shut out/disrespected, recognizing the power you have by virtue of your position to make others feel sidelined even just by, for example, taking up precious time in a meeting by talking.
But now we’re talking about how we should all be less direct/forceful verbally and in body language if we’re not happy about something. And I’m thinking, as a woman PM surrounded by dudes, hell no am I going to be LESS direct about expectations. I don’t yell, I don’t criticize, but I tell you what I need you to do. I’m not going to smile nicely if you’re not meeting those expectations.
I feel like women in the workplace are constantly told to be polite, mince, be considerate - so it’s frustrating to hear the discussion turn this direction. I get where they were trying to go and agree with 90% of it - but my gosh, why does it always feel like once you get a leadership role as a woman, you’re shoved back into the box you fought your way out of to get that role in the first place?

This is one of the things that drove me crazy about OH. There was an "Oregon" town near where we lived. They definitely said it or-uh-GONE.

I've been wondering about the exodus from the cities. Why pay for office space when you don't have to? This will be very very interesting.

Last May, once we realized MH wouldn't have to commute into Manhattan every day, we took a leap and sold our house in NJ (15 miles from the city) and moved to upstate NY to be closer to my in-laws. We've been here since July and have noticed the same trend, lots of families from the city area moving here. It's worked out for us as MH has been told that his job will most likely never return to the office.They say he MIGHT eventually travel to his clients again, but we're not expecting that to be any time in 2021 or even 2022 though.

I'm really hyped up today about the IRS. I got confirmation that despite the fact that I filed my taxes on February 10, I will not receive my third economic stimulus payment (to the tune of $5600 because I claimed all 3 kids plus me) until I file NEXT year. Which means I won't be getting credit for the children I birthed in 2020 until 2022, which is just ridiculous. I get that this is a privileged complaint, believe me, I do, but I can't help but think about people who are in much less fortunate situations than myself who now have to wait another YEAR to get the money that was supposed to help them NOW because the IRS fucked up.

dc2london fatpony It is really just truly enraging. Millions of people are going to have to wait a year to get their stimulus that was meant for immediate help because the IRS couldn't get their shit together. I did everything I was supposed to do, and EARLY, and I am getting nothing. The most frustrating part of it is that I know plenty of people that filed in March before the stimulus package passed, got their refunds AND got the stimulus. So filing early fucked me so bad.

Maybe this is something worth contacting your congressperson, Klobes, and Tina Smith about?

I don’t actually know about this but I thought you could adjust or re-file your taxes as long as it’s before tax day? You can. We have had to do it before, it was actually right after we hit submit...my mom had been doing ours and she was very annoyed mom about it. Oops.

Does she have something to update though? We actually forgot something that ended up changing our outcome in our overall return.

No, I have nothing to change in my taxes. And at this point, the IRS has already used my 2019 return to determine whether I get the stimulus, which was the problem in the first place because we changed from MFJ to MFS and so my income drastically changed.
