Surban mom.

  • Business consulting.

  • I moved to the suburbs and suddenly I liked it. Seriously.

  • Ranch.

  • I'm a consultant so this happens regularly.

  • I missed that reference in the original post.

  • Curious to find the same information from another source to verify it is real.

  • Oh it totally is a sign someone wants to change their looks. I think it has to change at a societal level for you to get individuals to be less interested in it. And it is pervasive. For example, research shows that attractive people are more likely to get promoted into positions of leadership. But that's just one (albeit weird) place it happens.

  • No, I'm joking - everything moves normally. But I work with my doc for a natural look (isn't that ironic!). I actually recommend it and VERY subtle lip injections (the stuff they inject into your lip make the not chap for like 9 months).

  • Ikr? It is just weird that there is so much pressure on people to not do it but also remain youthful/age gracefully. In a complete rebellion to society, I've pumped my face with enough Botox to tranquilize a horse, but I don't have wrinkles (I'm smiling about it but you can't see that either). 😉

  • You look old, tired and run down (people actually used tell me that out loud to my face) if you don't use Botox, and fake if you do (but it is less polite to say that out loud). I prefer the latter.

  • They are often smart, talented people, but lack the skills to operate in a business (business writing, comms, etc.). We recruit, then train the heck out of them and have had good outcomes.

  • Sadly, it has not gotten better. It is something I actively have to train people when they join our company.

  • Hard disagree. That would require a library of well written emails to reference (which, in my experience are not very common).

  • I would add communication, business writing and problem solving to the existing curriculum. They are the biggest deficits I see in new grads (even liberal arts).

  • Go to bed at 8:00 p.m.

  • At least the message is delivered on a cake.

  • I know a Harrison (Harry) Beardmore.

  • ❤️

    it occurred to me, if you have the ability to communicate with the engineers in person or on a video call, you could (maybe) avoid the pitfalls of text only. Anywho, don't hesitate to reach out if you would like more detailed support. 😃

  • I can't tell if you are being facetious, but if not feel free to message me for more specific ideas.
