Attracted to my reportee

As awkward it may sound, but I’m super duper attracted to my reportee. I’m an American and she is an Indian. I’m a widower and a single dad, she is technically not divorced but as far as I know she is separated ( she did mention her husband cheated and she was so done with relationships and all). I

Wheel of time show sucked

Not a book reader so had no idea about anything and started the show fresh. Hated almost every episode of this show. I liked the first episode but it was a trap as most of the others were bad.

Super-Commuting from out of state: is it feasible?

I’ve always wanted to live in NYC. Not long term, just for a little bit. I have always wanted to at least test those waters, at least while I’m in my 20s with no kids and no real responsibilities. I’ve visited several times and every time I go I get caught in the city’s aura. I don’t want to live t

In love with a married woman.

I’m divorced 45 year old. Single dad, coparent with my ex, have found newly formed affection for a married woman. She is a mom of 2. A tad bit younger than me. I’ve known her for decades. We are family friends. She is amazing, independent and an absolute 10 when it comes everything I would want in

My interview experience with Flexport

This was not a great experience and I wanted to share this with everyone as a warning. In early December of 22, a Flexport recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I was already in the market looking so I thought why not. He scheduled the usual recruiter phone screen and it went by smoothly. The re
