    My little man is going to be 2 in June.  They grow up so fast.  Just yesterday it felt like he was always in my arms, now he's running around kicking over the pet water fountain and splashing water everywhere. 🤣

    I feel I am monopolizing this thread but whatever 😄

    So I found a really solid position that I applied to.  I want to reach out to what I believe is the HR/Talent Acquisition member to shoot my shot and introduce myself.  I was going to use LinkedIn.  Does anyone have any advice regarding cold communication for a job application?  I know networking is the key to getting a job these days but in case where you don't know anyone that works there, what is the best approach?

    Thank you in advanced, Soxtalk!

    I always believed the first and last weeks were the most important. I actually returned to a company I left. Never burn bridges, it just isn't worth it. 

    I left one company and the owner asked me to stay a month to ease the transition. The company I was going to agreed. What I remember the most was the new company stating my sense of responsibility and personalism is exactly what why they were hiring me. 

    But I would prioritize researching at home your next move. Getting the new job while having a job is easier.

    Does the person giving you a hard time have a financial gain if you don't make it until your bonus? 

    No it's not their money.  I decided to pretend to make up and play nice until the bonus, and will be heavily looking for another job in the mean time.  It's really difficult working for bad managers, I salute those who have no choice but to put up with on a daily basis.

    Any vacation time you can take? Even if it's a staycation, you can avoid being in the office.

    Do you have another job lined up?

    I have vacation time, but no new job lined up yet.  I'm working on it now so I can be prepared to leave.  I'm responsible for a new product launch so my absence would not look good.  I still need to juggle professionalism with my desire to leave, right?

    Struggling at work right now.  My boss' boss has a stick up her ass about me and I am giving her no ammo to do anything.  She is just trying to make my life miserable at work.  I am just biding my time for the bonus so I can slide out of this position.  Any advice on how to cope?

    Doesn't it blow to root for a team with one of the worst owners in sports?  Most of us probably have decent lives and just want to watch a good baseball team.  Is that too much to ask?  For Jerry, it is.

    I don't hate people (strong dislike for sure but hate... not at all), but Jerry makes it really difficult to keep it together and not be a homicidal maniac.
