My cousin graduated from St. Kitts two years ago The pictures she shared from her time there were insane in a good way. Rigorous education, but what a place to get it! She had no shortage of job offers after graduation and so far has seemed happy with where she landed. While it's only been a few years, she seems really happy and fulfilled with her work.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Once Upon a Time Gilmore Girls Project Runway Downton Abbey Marvelous Mrs. Maisel House Numb3rs The West Wing Suits Agents of Shield The Bear Frasier I also would add the glory days of the food network when they actually cooked real food. Emeril, David Rosengarten, Sara Moulton, Mario Batali, Tyler Florence, just to name a few. Pre Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri, basically.

Thought of this thread this morning as I mindlessly scrolled for a bit. Dull Men's Group shows up constantly in my feed. Did you know it became too popular and there is now a spin-off group somewhere where they consider themselves the "real" Dull Men's Group? There is also a newer Dull Women's Group. Started after too many men complained of non-dull women ruining their vibe. Oh the drama! I don't follow them, but they are in my feed every day, multiple times, and for some reason I find them entertaining. I also get "White People Making White People's Foods" where they are usually making fun of the cuisine of the state of Iowa. I must linger just a little too long on some weird things in my feed because it's pretty much 90% of stuff I don't follow, and I hardly ever see actual friends posting.

RSV is going around at my work. It's taking weeks to clear up and most of the people who have gone to the doctor have been told it has to run its course. They're told to stay home if they have a fever but to use OTC meds for the symptoms.

I'm in an HRM class right now and that sure sounds illegal to me. Under FMLA, the review should be performed taking into account only the time the employee was on the job, and not include the time they were absent. So the performance review should be based solely on his work during the 8 months that he was working his job. I think there would be a case to push back. He is being penalized for being absent during approved leave. https://www.hrdive.com/news/performance-review-must-take-into-account-FMLA-leave-7th-circuit/709134/ IN this very recent article I linked to: he FMLA doesn’t require an employer to adjust its performance standards for the time an employee is actually on the job, the 7th Circuit pointed out. But employers may be unlawfully interfering with an employee’s FMLA rights if they don’t adjust performance standards to avoid penalizing the employee for being absent during approved leave, the panel explained.

The noise cancelling IS magical, isn't it! I wear them when I do a work day in the restaurant kitchen and I can't hear any of the noisy equipment. I can't eat with mine in though, because then I hear all of my own chewing and it drives me bonkers.

Buffalo. My ILS have very purposefully relocated themselves from a suburb of Buffalo into Buffalo to age in place with the anticipation of eventually living without a car. Their home in a residential neighborhood is within walking distance of everything that is important to them, and they are just a block or two away from mass transit.

I have AT&T- no cell service here in NE Wisconsin, but my AT&T wifi is working just fine.

When I was in high school, my parents didn't want to waste any time waiting outside of the school for me when my after school activities were done. So every day when I was completely ready to go, I would drop a quarter in the pay phone, call the home number, let it ring once and then quickly hang up so that I would get my quarter back. That one ring of the phone was the signal for someone from home to head to the school to pick me up. When I didn't have a quarter, I would have to find someone who did, always assuring them that I would give the quarter right back. We had a house rule that we never answered the phone on the first ring. For some reason it was considered more polite to let it ring at least twice before picking up.

Jeremy Allen White in The Bear. His display of someone suffering from trauma, ptsd, anxiety,etc. is so REAL. He's so good.

Ororo. We use them at work for everyone who works outside in the drive thru and have used the same vests and battery packs over and over. This is our third winter with them, and while we bought a bunch of new battery packs this year, it was more because too many went missing than that they stopped charging. We have fifteen of them at the restaurant, but a lot of people have bought their own after using them at work. Mine is going on two years old and the battery charge is just like it was when I bought it. If I set the vest on low, it will last at least 8 hours. I don't generally go all the way low though, so I get about six hours out of it. I live in that thing all winter-it's the best thing ever.

Don't forget to utilize your academic advisor. They'll know best which classes are offered in which semesters and how to get you to your goal. There are also places where you might be able to use work experience or some of what you currently are doing at work as an internship. I did two internships with my last school for a total of six credits (one for each degree) and all I really did for them was my job, and then wrote a paper and made a portfolio. I am about to do another internship this next semester- this one's only worth two credits, but it's one less elective I need. In addition, I've been strongly encouraged to apply for 10 credits of work experience, so that will knock down the classes I need to take big time. My advisor thinks I will easily be awarded the full ten.

Yes! Go for it! When I graduated with two associates degrees in May, I was certain I was done with school. DD also graduated from college in May and it just felt like a real moment of completion. Not even a month later and I decided I wasn't done after all and am currently pursuing my bachelor's, which will be done concurrently with my masters. The experience I've had with my classes this past semester has been so rewarding and I'm looking forward to the rest.

My coworkers use Maseca. I think it's made by the same company that makes Mission tortillas, so if that's the brand you're used to, this might be closest. You can get it in either white or yellow- the yellow will say amarillo on the package.

The movie Christmas Chronicles 2 on Netflix has a whole thing with Jola the yule cat. I didn't realize that was based on an actual cultural thing.
