I made the decision to go back to school for my master's after coming in 2nd for a position, after a long series of interviews. I was more than qualified for the job and I had a good rapport with my interviewers.
The girl who got it had no experience and was fresh out of a master's... in nutrition. (The job had absolutely nothing to do with nutrition). That made it pretty clear what I had to do.
Maybe I am the unpopular one, then. If H is sick, let him whine. He doesn't feel well. I want to hear that, and I want to help make him feel better. Then again, he doesn't subscribe to this so-called "man cold," so if he fesses up to not feeling well, he's really in trouble.
I started my masters. Then realized the area of my field I wanted to go into was extremely competitive and there were very few positions ever available and also that I was already making what I start at with the masters so I didn't.
It certainly sucks sending in the student bill on a degree I don't have....

He coddles me, too, when I am sick. I like it.
+1. I was starting to think maybe I was the only one who doesn't have an H who gets "man colds". He rarely admits when he's sick and just powers through with hardly a complaint. So if he actually complains about being sick, I know it's bad and I insist on taking care of him.

I have a hard time being sympathetic towards adults with colds/flu. Take some medicine lay down and don't whine to me. This is all because DH has one and has been hiding downstairs since Monday doing nothing.
ETF spelling.
I'm an adult with a job that I basically must be dead to call out of, no sick days, and a kid that kind of needs me to function. LOL at take some medicine & pass out.
Okay.
Haha IFLY for saying this. Sofa king funny. And true.

DH is pretty good about this as well. He doesn't whine very often, so when he does, I know he is really sick or in pain.
I guess my UO is that I find keeping a running wish list for people to buy you things more than a little off-putting.
I know someone who keeps a link to her wish list in her facebook profile, just in case anyone wants to buy her sumshit.
It's too much for me.
I keep a running wish list on amason for myself.....but if someone asks what to get me I will give them a link if they want. Does this count?
I do this. I have several wish lists, actually. Including one for Christmas, already. I throw shit in there year round. I do not post the link in Facebook, though.

Like do you think if me being knocked the fuck out was even an option, I'd choose to stay awake & complain to you? LOLNO.

For him it is. He is self employed, yet is still awake complaining. I suppose I was just complaining about him. I understand if someone can't call out of work, I get that. I also have to function and can't take a break on life. Just makes me mad that he thinks he can.

That's not what you said though. You said you aren't sympathetic to adults that complain about their cold or flu. That they should shut up and lay down. #dontbackpedal

I have my MBA. In my experience, it has never given me an advantage over someone without a bachelors. And rightfully so, since the degree is unrelated. I wish it got me an automatic bump in pay! Then again, I've spend my entire career with this company, so I have experience on my side as well.
I get man-colds way worse than my husband. Huge sissy over here.
My UO for the day is that I'm okay with people driving a few miles under the speed limit in icky weather conditions

ETF spelling.
Sorry your husband is s baby when it comes to colds, but it's a pretty broad jump from "I don't feel bad for my husband" to "I don't feel sorry for adults who are sick because they should just shut up & sleep." Those aren't even in the ballpark of being the same thing.

Your right I should have worded it differently. I was just thinking in the context of MH and not in a universal sense.

UO: I don't unfriend everyone I think is stupid, I disagree with, or who makes me mad because sometimes I just need to pop a bag of "yucky chemical"-laden microwave popcorn and enjoy some free entertainment.

I don't know how you do it. Stupidity makes me angry.

It used to make me angry way too often. Then I met my husband who calmed me down some. I still do get angry from time to time.
H totally gets man colds, but they happen so rarely I still coddle him. He is A+ at helping me when I'm sick (which happens more often, stupid immune system).
I want oreos now. And microwave popcorn. Between this and the sundae, I'm starting to thing GKU is dangerous to my calorie intake.

Yes! It is funny to read that stuff sometimes. I also like to see what the "other side" of the political spectrum is making memes about because I find it makes my opinion more solid to think out what my response would be to it- although I very, very rarely actually respond.

UO: I am a huge Harry Potter fan (see siggy) but I am not really excited about the release of the "new book." For one, it wasn't completely written by Rowling, and for 2, it's a play, and I just can't see myself losing myself reading a play like I would for a book. :/

+1. I unfollow them so I don't have to be subjected to it, but can enter into the craziness on my own schedule and with whatever shitty food I want as well.

YES. I have a lot of feels along those lines.
Similarly, it feels a little like a betrayal to be told "no more books," and be allowed to imagine that everything was hunky-dory after that, but then be given this to ruin my imagined world of no more conflict or bad things in wizardom anymore.
Will I read it and/or see it, though, just to be in the know? Probably.

---stuck in the box---
Yes, I will probably buy it right away and read it, because I do really want to know what happens... but I'm just not jumping-up-and-down excited about it.
