I have the lululemon DUPE bag from Amazon and it’s a great hands-free bag for sightseeing or errands and stuff. I wear it across my chest. It is half the price of the original and comes in 20+ colors.
The Shark flex style is supposed to be able to do everything just as well as the Dyson Airwrap for about half the price.
Wendy, you’re lucky af! But yeah, if volume is what you want, the Airwrap or shark is it. It injects serious, lasting volume into your hair, and perfect waves or bouncy blowout look. And then if you put it up at night with a scrunchy and take it down in the morning, it will be even more lifted.
My mom has hair kind of like yours I think, with wave and it’s not as frizzy as mine. She does everything possible for volume because she has less hair than she used to, but she’s not gonna buy an Airwrap. She uses hot rollers or puts her hair up on top of her head to dry with root lift, depending on what she’s going for. She uses foams and mousses too.
I’m really sorry to hear about your mom, Miss MJ. That’s much too soon.
I don’t know if you can think of her going right on and still being herself and if that would give you any peace. And that everything she gave you is still there with you. She’s in your heart.
There’s also an area on the 9th floor we call the Crying Corner. And every Wednesday at 4:30 I have a scheduled bitch session with two women no longer on my team.
Oh shit Anonymousse, I’m sorry.
Basically every day I’m talking people down who want to rage-quit, but in this market and this industry, pretty small world, and some of us really needing the benefits, we just can’t. I’ve never had a boss before who had issues like this one, and if anyone here ever wants to talk about how to deal with a whackadoo, I’m available.
I do have a car, but my commute now consists of just one T (subway) train, which is amazing. And we’re still just required to go in one full week a month, all in the same week. That’s going to change in the fall, likely to 2 weeks back to back but no one knows for sure. The not knowing is hell for parents. Early warning signs that this isn’t working, some moms at work are starting to take lengthy leaves of absence. It’s just, however they were swinging this before the pandemic, it’s no longer working for them. Part of it I know is getting reliable child care. I obviously don’t have kids, but there is no way I could do that. This job is so intense, and the week we’re in the office physically even more so, with having to go to things at night too, you cannot do it unless you have a stay-at-home spouse handling everything. Seriously. Women are starting to get crushed. We have a female CEO, albeit with grown kids and she’s astronomically wealthy, but still, she’s got to understand this. It’s not okay.
That sounds like a bitch of a commute. I had a job in the past where I had to drive from just north of Boston to just south, so you could either go through the city on 93 which was a fucking joke, or go whatever crazy way Waze would have you go through like 5,000 different back streets trying to wind your way there. And then you had to pay for parking. I did that for almost a year and it was HORRIBLE. And so nerve wracking worrying about hitting a cyclist or pedestrian. We moved and I could take a bus from our new place, and that was such a relief. There was this bonkers woman on the bus who would voice-dial everyone in her family every morning and no one would pick up, or if they did they’d be like, Michelle, I have to go. She called the pharmacist one time and told them all her personal info including full name and address. And she’d talk about her period and stuff if she did reach someone on the phone. Once this trans person asked her to move her bag so they could sit down next to her. She told them this wild story about how she’s an artist, which she definitely was not, and then she said she’s thinking of becoming a man! The person was like, oh, uh, this is my stop. I used to live-stream about this bud ride on my stories.
It’s good that you have the self-awareness to realize you crave the highs and lows, but it’s not great that you seem to not only be attracted to, but give way too much headspace and attention to, guys that mistreat you. And something within you seems to like the idea of these guys being “sociopathic” (that’s not a good or accurate word to use to describe stuff like this btw) or “cruel.” What’s really going on is these guys just aren’t into you / aren’t available to you. Do you think you’re attracted to that because you’re actually not ready for anything serious (you sound very young), so these guys are “safe” in a sense? Or do you think it’s more that you on some level seek out guys who treat you badly? You should think about it. And the proper thing to do here is just delete and block both these guys, because they’re both a waste of time. The longer you stay hung up on them, the longer you’re going to wait to find a nice relationship with someone who likes you back.
ETA, sorry, just saw your last sentence about wanting to be asexual or aromantic. I’m not sure what you mean by that exactly, but yeah, sounds like you’re really not ready for anything so you’re wasting your own time with these time-wasters who don’t want anything from you.
Or he could just be someone who talks to a lot of strangers online and wants to just keep his identity private for safety.
He’s definitely acting like someone who’s hiding something. Was he being flirty with you, and didn’t want you to know he had a girlfriend, or he didn’t want his girlfriend to know about you? That’s what would make sense in this situation.
