What does everyone do for work? I work in social work in youth services. I case manage pregnant and parenting youth at a homeless shelter.

I'm going to another job fair tomorrow. They always make me feel like I'm speed dating.

If you really have to ask, you have no idea what's going on in this world. So, no, you are not confused. You just want to stay uninformed and most likely bigoted.

No, I don't know why there is a blue "X" on the conference room window. Just because I sit across from that room, doesn't mean the building management keeps me apprised of all of their actions. It's a good thing you asked though. I really like hearing the same question asked of me over and over and over again all day long.

Stormy, in some cases the DH taking off for the kids isn’t so black & white. My DH is an airline pilot. When they “call in” they get pulled off a trip, usually 3 days. That’s not an 8 hour pto day. That’s like 24 hours of pto because he can’t just show up and take his trip back. So yes, unless I’m completely incapacitated, the low wage I’ll miss out on ($13 per hour in my new field) is far less important that his $85 @24 hours he misses. So me take a day off = $100 or DH miss a trip= $2000. It’s a no brainer.

I hate my job so much. I went on sites like glassdoor and indeed and wrote the worst reviews ever.

I'm getting so frustrated. I applied to so many jobs and have heard back from a number of them telling me the job was no longer available/filled. Then TAKE THE POSTING DOWN. Duh.

My program director gets annoyed at a co-worker because she always sits in program director's office and talks...all day long. So the program director just listens and then complains later. She has never told her to just leave her be so she could work! They have been working together like this for more than 20 years.

Ugh....just ugh.

Yellowsplainer? Did I actually read that? JFC, racism really is back in full force in this country.
