We are rewatching BB currently and this was my exact thought! :lol:

Hate that shite. I always feel like team morale is better with WFH.


It depends on the team and circumstances, for sure. Long commute, "Why the hell am I spending 3 hours of my day just to get here?!" I am struggling with being the "middle man". Trying to understand my employee's needs, while still answering to the boss.

I WFH on Mon and Fri. I'd love to do it 5 days a week, but I have a boss who thinks we need people manning the phones and fax machines at all times or else business is slow.


My team could be remote 100% and nothing would be lost. It is an upper-level mind-set of needing to be physically present.

If anything you sound like a manger who hates work from home because you don't trust your employees. Whether that be because you're bad at hiring or you're a controlling micro-manager, I don't know.


:lol:

I don't like being in the office and most of my employees are remote. I am very solitary, but I know people are watching.

the older I get I value work life balance more


Your entire post reads like a woman. Work/life balance is a phrase that women use. I am a woman and I don't use it because I work for a company that takes care of its employees. You are whining about your workout schedule. Shut up and get to work.
New experiences. It's actually a thing. It's why children have a different perception of time. Their timeline is much shorter, with constant, new situations.

I went to the MoLa's opening back in 1997, because I was a 16 year old girl and malls were still a "thing". It was nice, a place you could let your teenagers hang out. We didn't cause trouble, we purchased items with money we earned from our minimum wage jobs.

Baton Rouge has been declining for decades. I escaped in 2014 and live in one of the wealthiest and safest places in the US. I have been back to BTR twice, for funerals and I can't believe how the rot has spread. Growing up near Plank Rd. I am very familiar with the ghetto culture, but it was contained. The people of BTR have allowed the thugs to infiltrate the entire city.
Florida checking in. We have a Bougainvillea out front that Mom & Pop mockingbirds decided to make their nest in for the newcomers. Everyday, when passing the tree, on the way to the front door, they would dive-bomb us. Now the kids hang out, taunting us, with their merry little tunes. Since they are protected by the Migratory Bird Act, I can't even give them the side-eye. They seem to know and relish in this fact.

What an amazing man. You were blessed to have him, and now God called him home. Rest easy in your memories.

re: Men shopping with wives

Some women still wear clothes they have from their early 20's, because they didn;t get fat. If they have to change a wardrobe style, for the office, they buy super cheap clothes on-line and get compliments on a $10 outfit. We don't drag our husbands out to go "shopping". Shopping involves vinyl records and the trinity, for cooking. :nana:
I have no idea who this is, and can't quite understand how pics 1 & 2 are the same woman. But, I am legitimately confused by the name Brooks. Why the "S"?

No sales tax and low property taxes.

As a bar in Key West, yes, last time I checked. Only problem, it is clothing optional and only 60+ yo men decide to undress. :speechless:

That would be the belief that you were randomly created, came from chaos, and the universe has no plan. Your non-belief is your stumblimg block. May God grant you spritiual sight and humility.

There is no "appropriate" time. I have seen "within weeks" and "never". It depends. And screw anyone on the outside, close to the person, for thinking they know better. Not everyone grieves the same way. If finding company after the death of a spouse makes someone happy, why do you care?
One of my earlier memories. Sitting on the back porch (we had this big screened in back patio). I am sitting on the stoop, with my Mom's shoes, that had white laces, with rainbow colored hearts. I am a lefty, so I have been told I tie laces a little bit backwards, but was so excited when I finally did it. I was about 4-5 years old. For what it's worth, I rarely wear lace up shoes, and if they do have laces, I try and slip them on, without untying.

So, you'd have no qualms in defending someone like Kermit Gosnell, because "it's the state's job" to prove he's a monster? That level of detached reasoning shows your arrogance. And greed.

But is it, really?
Is this full blown "Minority Report"? The guy "may" do something wrong? You want to talk about a slippery slope.
