i’ve thought about this a few times since having a kid and it’s made me realise that the most important change is the confidence to say there is something that work must be flexible over.

for example, it is a dealbreaker to me that i must be able to drop and collect my child from school. so my manager and i have spoken about arrangements that allow that to happen.

but it’s that same kind of confidence that someone without kids could bring to the table and say that wednesday is guild night and they need to leave early for it. i mean it doesn’t sound “socially acceptable” but i think that if having kids or religious observances allows you to say “i need this flexibility” you should have the confidence to demand it.

and if your manager is someone who only respects religious or family demands id also condone saying it’s for religious observances and taking no further questions.

butter bells are great, so lovely to have instant soft butter on demand

that’s awesome! i’ve watched a bunch of videos on vineyards and it seems like such an intense lifestyle, especially harvest time.

wait there are red grapes which are unripe and look green? or white grapes can be green before they’re ripe?

That green grapes were grapes that weren’t ripe. Couldn’t believe my ears and had to point out that green/white grapes make white wine and red grapes make red wine, there’s no such thing as red grapes that are green because they’re not ripe.

yeah it’s in the terms of service but my usage will be so small it’s not even going to register on their charts so i’m happy with the risk.

oy i’m suffering with the same problem. i thought id try rowing toys out but more the boxes i’ve bought to rotate are all overflowing. id get rid of them more but she has an amazing memory and months age not seeing a toy will suddenly talk about trying to find it.
