Cool Kate, did you delete the “Kate that’s what I said” comment I made? This is more and more like you trying to silence me and trying to look like you’re so above it all and make witty comments. It’s all good though! You’re the worst “moderator.” Is that adding to my jackass persona? Awesome! but it’s true. I’ve been following this since page 1! I notice whenever someone makes a comment you don’t like you try to come up with a one liner. Then everyone else joins in and then when the outsider doesn’t comment anymore, everyone jumps on them. Totally your mo, isn’t it?

Whatever Kate. Please do go for it MissDre!

Um. Your “Kate that’s what I said” comment is still there. I haven’t been following this thread since the first page, but I’ve been an active participant in the forums for, IDK, a year? Kate gives straightforward, no nonsense advice (here and on other threads).

LOL

Sorry you hate your supervisor, @MissDre! I know that feeling. There was a guy at my last company who I wanted to be my supervisor (there were talks of it, but my actual supervisor – the guy I hated – never made it a reality). Anyway, we have an opening where I am and I encouraged him (the guy I liked) to apply. He applied lightning fast (and then basically told me he’s looking around and asked if I can be a reference for him). My supervisor here likes his resume and I gave him a rave review. I know it may not pan out, but I’d love to work with him again! I love solid workplace relationships.

Can I threadjack for a sec here guys? I’d like to ask the wise Dating Threaders for advice about splitting expenses with a live-in partner. Banjo and I already know we’ll be splitting rent and utilities in half so that’s fine. I’m more wondering about day to day expenses – stuff like groceries, cleaning products, couple beers grabbed on the way home, and stuff like that. Right now we keep track of most things (like both put in cash for dinners out, take turns buying rounds of drinks, both paying if we’re going to an event). But once we’re living together I feel like it’ll be a lot less clear whose stuff (tomatoes, soap,etc) is whose and could get slightly complicated? It feels too petty to expect everything split totally evenly. But I also worry that since I tend to be the planner I might end up taking on more of the expenses just kind of accidentally. Anyone have any advice about a way to easily make it fair-ish, but without having to constantly be worried about it? (I don’t think we’ll open an account together yet, so other than that. We also can’t use Venmo or PayPal in our country.)
