My driver's ed teacher taught me to always take a quick glance left in an intersection, even if I have right-of-way, after he saw a really bad accident where someone ran a stop sign and t-boned a car, He said part of what made it so bad was the other driver had developed "tunnel vision"…Â
I realized around 25 that I'd never been taught it's ok to say no to doing favors for people! I'm talking about the little day-to-day stuff like "while you're out, can you run to the store for me?" or "can you work late tonight and cover for xyz?" I'd been taught that if someone needed…Â
While I'm financially ready-ish to buy (emphasis on ish), my partner hated their job and really wanted to leave. Buying anything right now would push that plan back at least a year, if not longer! We both agreed it would be better for them to quit now, so they can find a job they…Â

I was on an absolutely abysmal job search that was going nowhere and robbing me of all my joy. After what might have been the worst job interview ever, I decided on a whim to update my cover letter, partly because I was unemployed and bored, and partly because I never wanted to go…Â
Not me but my mom. She had a beat up wood floor in her bedroom that she decided to paint, but opted not to do a first coat of primer, thinking it wasn't important and would save her time. She probably saved herself a day or two...at first. But less than a year later, the paint started…Â
Worked in a department of like 20 people at a very easy office job. It was almost impossible to get fired. Enter this guy... he was maybe 22 and looked even younger. Seemed nice at first, but the incompetence was staggering. He had to have the same thing explained over and over multiple…Â
