Well, to be fair, she's doing the highest level of high school, which is basically like an advanced placement high school. Only the top 5-10% of students go to that level, so these are advanced kids. But even so, they are still high school kids. And yes, they need real world experiences to prepare them for college and for the job market, but they are 15....they aren't there yet. And some of them don't even know what they want to do yet...they may need these chemistry skills and they may not. Let the people who have chosen that field do that work and let the kids do something a bit more general, just getting exposure to as many careers as possible so they can decide what fits them.
She doesn't need the meds. She wants her home to look like this in December with the location of the snow:
Go for it!
That's more my husband's work life too. He is an engineer and works for a consulting company that gives advice about what kind of heating, ventilation, air conditioning system a building needs. And he does energy labels, which are the bane of his existence. His is the 8-5 job, 5 days a week. There's some flexibility there for things like needing to take a kid somewhere....he can start early and leave early. But in general, it's the standard rat race. And it's a small company...like 10 people or something.Wow. That’s definitely different.
I guess I’m more like the dad from the 40’s scene from CoP…
I’m part of the “rat race”…I get up, shower, throw on my clothes, and join the other “rats” in traffic…same place, same time, 5 days a week, rinse and repeat…!!!!!
Oh our company drops serious cash for the parties. Well....last year they had a huge Christmas party all planned out and it was supposed to be quite the rave....had to be canceled. Then we had the BBQ this summer and they dropped some serious cash for an after hours bash at a hotel later and even got a block of rooms so people could stay over if they were too drunk to drive home....there's always an open bar. But the after hours rave had to be canceled because of corona rules that venues had to be closed at midnight. Then there was the "Winter" party that was supposed to be in November (hoping that more people would be able to make it because they wouldn't have conflicts with their kids' school Christmas parties, or their spouses' work Christmas parties) that also had to be canceled. With all the money they are saving on the parties, you'd think they'd put that into a bonus or something, but I doubt it.Yea, we didn’t have it last year because of COVID, but, they dropped some serious cash on last nights festivities…!!!!!
I can't argue there for snow for @MinnieM123. The only thing is baking and cooking needs to be considered and this might have to be next door to the house or very close.

Is that really selfish, though? I mean...the company wants me to work my tail off, but they also want to give as little as possible in return. I, in turn, don't feel like going out of my way to do extra. And in the case of the employer, when there are people who take extra long breaks, or who play on their phones instead of working (we're not supposed to have our phones on the workfloor) hiding in between shelves so they don't get caught, I can see why the bosses don't want to pay them even more and don't want to bend over backwards to offer them time off. With these huge companies with hundreds of employees, you don't have the personal relationships like you have with the people in your company. The big bosses aren't even there in the evenings when I work. Before the company moved, I rode my bike to work and could work during the day. Now it's not in biking distance, and my husband has the car during the day, so I can't work until evening, but I have a good rapport with the evening managers. But they aren't the ones who issue bonuses or give raises. It's not so much selfish as lacking personal connections with everyone. They don't necessarily know who works their tail off and who is sitting in a bathroom stall with their phone. There's just a lack of accountability and trust because everyone is nameless. I mean, I guess there's an element of selfishness or maybe entitlement is a better word for it among some of them, but I guess I just don't see myself as selfish because I want to get more if I give more. I just don't think there's any way they could give me more without also giving it to the people who AREN'T working hard. Neither of us are selfish in that scenario, we just want what we deserve and don't trust that we'll get it.
Hrmmm....do ferrets count as pets there?POR is awesome.
So, my package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday (the one that was confirmed for the 7th, and then confirmed for the 10th) did not arrive. (I last checked at 8:00 PM last night.)
Got up this morning around 5:30 AM, and looked out front -- there it (finally) was on the porch! When the heck to they deliver now -- at midnight??!!Good grief!

Yes and they must be caged at all times when not on a leash, a very short leash
