What’s on your mind?

It's always a risk. I had a negative online experience the other day and instead of trying to stand up for myself despite some snarky personal attacks and outright falsehood I just ducked out of the the subforum in question and asked a mod to block it for me. Easier to do that then IRL with unpleasant colleagues/bosses (and online or hybrid work won't make it really any easier).


Still wondering if I should have just stuck around and least try to leave on my terms.

If I may, there's nothing wrong with what you did. You removed yourself from an unpleasant experience online. Sometimes removing yourself from the situation is smarter than standing up for yourself.

I am not as fast to respond to posts or comments that attempt to be triggers online and ignore a good deal of it now. I feel better about that.

Happy Friday everyone!

Sailed through round #3 of the interviews for this position. Now comes the waiting game as some managerial staff I interviewed with are on vacation. This firm generally has 4-5 rounds of interviews with the last interview being in person. Unsure if there are one or two more interviews before a decision is made.



I do like all of the managers/supervisors and the Sr. Director I interviewed with, and the feeling is mutual.

EDIT: Another online interview will be scheduled for some time next week. 🎉🙂

And now, my attempt to get more sleep. It will be close to 90 degrees here today (Mom and I would rather skip summer altogether.) It's beginning to get uncomfortable up here in the attic where my "office" is.

Wishing you all a great day and here's to the weekend.

Heading up to 36 degrees today !! Street Food festival back as “normal” ie. No certificates needed. Did have a Valaisanne “juicy” IPA (fruity like a weissbier) very refreshing and went down easily but at 6.2 probably better to stay at one. River and lake are full and the best news heading to Paris next weekend with friends for a birthday and reunion of sorts.

Wondering if it is wrong to just want to relax, and do nothing on the weekends (well, besides cleaning the house and doing the washing)...

I prefer the "if they smack you, you smack them back even harder" approach. Bullies never quit until you smash them in the mouth. On line at least. Because, you have to be careful in real life because many of them are armed these days and will shoot you for looking cross-eyed at them.
 
The oldest of my 3 dogs (8-9 y/o Chihuahua) had a pretty big seizure yesterday and I had to break away from work to rush him to the vet. He got some good meds and then had a good night last night - he didn't have any more seizures and the vet hasn't seen any neurological abnormalities, but is showing some signs of being in pain (doesn't want to lift his head up all the way for some reason) off and on, so we left him at the vet over the weekend for observation (going to check in on Monday and go from there)

With my mind being heavy like that, have just been trying to find things to keep myself occupied - yard work, a trip to my local Apple store to 'window shop', reading w/some music etc etc.

I feel fatigue just reading this post.

Good luck with the climb (Ben Nevis??) - Scotland is gorgeous; anyway, I hope you enjoyed yourself.

It was a difficult climb. The decent was very slippery. But we all made it. 7 hours so pretty average. Now driving home. Beautiful scenery. Terrible weather. If I was on my own I’d stop and take some pictures. But not with photographs. Will see what I got from the mountain when I’m home.

Yes, I have also found that the descent is a lot more tricky - and downright challenging - than the ascent, in such situations.

Glad you're safe, and glad you enjoyed yourself.
