Finished a day of final speaking tests, so just listening and grading all day. The kids are at a karate trip so just me and the husband for the weekend. I wonder how it will go. Will we reconnect a bit? Or the chasm too wide?

Happy sober friday folks!
what are you doing today?
@Misokatsu Wishing you a relaxed weekend however it goes Flo 
My friday plans are: grocery shopping, nearly forgot itās a holiday tomorrow here. I completely lost track of date and what day it is recovering from covid 
And of course: sleeping! with cats on and around me.
No leftovers in the fridge so there will be cooking today.
Most basic chores are already done 
Iām glad that Iām feeling a little bit better every day so I will enjoy whatever feels better today. Now in the morning itās a bit more energy despite Iām still very tired. Nice progress 
Have a good sober friday friends!

Now that the electricity works again in our appartment I can finally get to my appointment at the hairdresser and swing on my way back at the supermarket and do the groceries.
I want to take the time in the evening to relax, do some Yin-Yoga, watch anime and just let go of this hectic day.

Hey gang, happy Friday!
Just another rainy day in paradise.
My wife has a 2nd interview today for a role at the biggest competitor of her last company. Fingers crossed!
Yesterday, we were talking about people in the tech industry who seem to land really good roles at really good companies with a job history of 9 months here, 12 months thereā¦ people who held jobs at 9 different companies in 5 years. We looked at their profiles on linkedin and were like, how could you possibly start and complete 5 huge initiatives in 9 months? You canāt!
So this got me thinking, a game show where you take these seemingly successful people and scrutinize and verify their resumes, and the one the the most honest resume wins!
āCharles, you said you were the director or marketing for xyz Tech co., well, we reached out to your manager and determined that, that was a lie, your title was actually Associate Marketing Manager. You also said you created and implemented the SEO marketing strategy, that was also a lie, it was Terry who did thatā¦ minus 10 points.ā.
It would be a hit!!! And maybe it would make people more honest!
Anyhow, happy Friday, letās get that sober prize at the end of the day!

I know Iām late to this but my husband and I almost had the same conversation multiple times over the years. 23-24 year olds entering into full salaried engineer positions with the connections they had through school, externships, etc. and everyone else having to work with minimal benefits for years to āproveā themselves even though their life experience is substantial. Not to mention a corporate culture of not keeping their experts with time with a company for some bottom line savings. It plagued us for a decade or so. Hang in there and I hope your wife finds her place soon.

Happy early Friday! We are about to get nailed by an increasingly severe winter storm, now with blizzard warnings and a foot or so (another foot!) predicted. Then subzero temps/windchills. Iām not excited. I like the snow, I do, but I havenāt exactly prepared well. Time to check out what is in my freezer and pantry and hope we manage with that. I know we will. No one has to go anywhere so thatās good. And I donāt have to prep for extra booze My husband is on his own but I am thinking he will be taking it easy.

Same @RosaCanDo! 8-11 inches predicted here in my part of the state. I donāt have to work so I might snow suit up and venture out to play. I am enjoying this winter so much more when I am out in it. Walking home from work in cold air makes me appreciate lots of things. I sound high, I promise Iām not, just genuinely happy.
I work the weekend so tomorrow is mine. Sewing, cooking, cleaning and general puttering 
await. Stay safe and stay warm everybody.
How the whole Hearted search going Hoof? @HoofHearted
I couldnāt tag you in the sentence as that would ruin my excellent wordplay. 
Fingers crossed and apologies in case I missed news elsewhere.

Happy sober friday folks!
What are your friday plans?
For me itās an exciting day!
I was up at 5 without alarm which means back to normal after vaccation, a busy week, 2 weeks of covid and this week struggling with getting better and out of bed in the morning.
Hairdresser appointment at 11, a friend coming over for steak & baked potatoes in the afternoon. My inner voice tells me this is going to be a nice friday 
Good luck to all awaiting harsh weather conditions

And it is really necessary. I wanted to go after vaccation, was too busy and now itās nearly a month later. Oh my gosh how this hair gets on my nerves on some days
I think this is the still recovering bitchy covid patient speaking who is annoyed that it takes this long to be fully restored
