I didn't say you wouldn't qualify. I said you probably wouldn't qualify for financial assistance. Their individual plans are expensive. Quitting a job without having another lined up requires a lot of planning, or a rock-solid financial support system because the safety nets you qualify for if the company decides to terminate employment don't exist. Don't count on finding a new job in your field right away, either, or finding a retail job, especially right after the holidays. For all those 'help wanted' signs, companies still aren't hiring.

I did when I escaped GA and moved to NV. It was not impulsive and I had significant savings plus the proceeds of selling my house. You don't get unemployment nor will you qualify for any sort of social programs (SNAP, ETC...) when you quit and you'll be on your own for health insurance. Financial assistance for the ACA exchange is based on prior year income so it is unlikely you'll qualify for anything when you quit despite not having any income.

I found out my bonus and merit increase yesterday. The bonus was pro-rated (as expected) and is what I was expecting, but our merit increases are downright insulting at less than 3% for a 'successful year', the highest rating you can get. I haven't had a merit increase this low since I got a shitty review at a shitty company over a decade ago. I thought it was pro-rated but it wasn't. This is the standard rate. Yea, it's something, but it barely covers the increased insurance rates.

Everything you just shared is normal in every company. It's not limited to yours.

Google maps. You can download the directions ahead of time to listen to offline. I'm going on a limb that you also paid cash and did not use your Target Cartwheel, otherwise Target can look up your purchase via the card you used to pay with, or via your Cartwheel account. You're in luck though! Target will allow you to return an item without a receipt, as long as you have your ID. You'll receive store credit. If you don't have the box (regardless of payment method), just show them the product on the website or app and they can find it. You're good to go return these and buy something better.

Agreed. @oliviabenson return them. That rating is atrocious, too, with many complaining about the battery life and charging. I did a quick Google, so you don't have to, and that entire brand has crap ratings. Get something better. A quick search of the Target site shows another brand at the half the price with over 4800 reviews and 4.5 stars.

I saw him in Nashville in 2019, when I was still in ATL. I was only in Nashville for 24 hours (and I had an ear infection) as I had gotten stuck in the ATL airport for 8 hours. I want to go back but I just can't convince my heart to fly to that part of the country, or have the required layover in ATL. *In hindsight I should have just got my car from the parking lot and drove but at the time, the delays were just 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there. A plane was in the air, the plane had to turn around. It was absurd. I ended up flying out the next morning. Gross. Didn't think of that. Leaning towards Seattle. It's closer, less humid, 2 of us have never been and the third is excited to play tour guide.

We'll make it a girl's trip weekend. Currently deciding between Nashville, Seattle, and Chicago. We're just indecisive.

Peeve: romanticizing misogyny, control, and abuse. Lightheaded peeve: my favorite artist is touring next summer but not here. Traveling to a show or two is not a problem but I can't decide which ones to go to! So many choices! So little PTO!

You just reminded me I need to get tickets to Nate Bargatze when he is in Vegas late next year.

I will! I don't even care if the "kids" are still playing their teenage selves. In this crazy world where demogorgans and The Upside Down are real what is age.

I am currently obsessed with Gwen Levy and the Breakdown. Send him my way, please. Right to my living room would be just fine. Thank you. Currently trying to figure out which concerts (plural) I'll be attending next summer. Love Brad Paisley. He hits the beats of fun, silly, ridiculous songs, and serious songs. His concerts are a blast, too.

Everyone has different boundaries about what they are comfortable sharing at work. If you don't want to share, and be 'business only, please', don't share. But there is nothing wrong with two co-workers having what sounds like a casual, friendly conversation sharing things about their personal lives. That being said, networking and having friendly relationships with co-workers is vital to career growth. People viewed as "Mr. or Ms. Business, only Business" may hinder career growth. Of course, if they're happy where they are don't have aspirations to grow and lead, this is all moot.

I hate snakes and animals cruelty. It's unfortunate this was my first episode, I was fine catching up with the premier later but I was too distressed to finish tonight's episode.

Trust your gut. If you're not feeling it now, you won't be feeling it later. Turn down the second interview and move on. When I've been in that situation and interviewed, I didn't bring my A-game, didn't get selected to move forward and was upset I was rejected again even though I didn't want the position.

What app is that? I've been on a bunch and have never seen that type of "add friend" button..

My power went out last weekend, someone hit a power pole or transformer and took out the entire zip code. The power company has it back on 3.5 hours later (which is super fast IMO). I hope yours comes back soon!

That sounds revolting. If you find the BB mashed potato recipe your husband found please link it. It is something I'd make.

Thank you! That sounds amazing!

I had a heck of a time getting the Adam Kinzinger / Willie Nelson to load on demand but it finally did an I am so, so glad I didn't give up because I was able to learn that Taylor Tomlinson is going to be the host of the new After Midnight! I love her so much and while I can't stay awake that late I'll be watching it on demand.

That sounds amazing. Can you procure the recipe and share with the rest of us?

You can take a screenshot on an Android by pressing the power and volume up button. There are also hand gestures over the screen but I'm not sure what they are anymore.

Not in awhile.

My favorite response is "I'm Jewish, I'm good". Though these days, that could get me beaten up or murdered. My favorite response to "you're going to hell" isn't "see you there", but "I'm driving the bus, I'll pick you up on the way".
