  • This is me and my husband. I find the part about going through the pandemic together especially true. “After” the pandemic I never went back to the office and the number of coworkers I had who seemed to be flabbergasted that I wanted to stay at home was through the roof. They seemed genuinely confused that husband and I weren’t dying to get away from each other.

    I have to admit though, it may have become somewhat of a hostile work environment as my husband has been threatening to tell my boss about all the times I make fish for lunch.





  • I think my boss would be cool with this. I got back from vacation on Wednesday last week and immediately asked if I could take a half day on Friday of the same week.

    Usually I don’t have to explain anything as all time off is requested via an app but since my vacation fell during a busy period I thought I should check.







  • I don’t have a lot of the issues I see others complaining about, but my teams does randomly shut down and I don’t notice until someone sends me an email saying they tried to reach me on teams. Doesn’t seem like that has anything to do with corporate policy.







  • I hated Christmas when I worked in retail, and for several years after. I’ve only gotten back into it the past few years, and now my husband has gotten sentimental and wants to put up meaningful ornaments instead of just nice looking ones.

    My family didn’t have a tradition of gifting ornaments every year so I’ve been building up a collection of personal ornaments the past few years to catch up with him, which is a cute and fun thing to do as a couple.

    I’m sorry I don’t know how to help. Personally nothing beats the cosy feeling of hot chocolate in front of a fire, cuddling watching TV, basking in the glow of a lit tree. It feels like Christmas to me and I love it.



  • I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.

    Green tea shouldn’t really be strong, you’re probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I’m after something light (or if I’m out of milk, which I need for black tea).
