Oh, thanks for the clarification.

I’m one of those weirdos that likes to work (like I would still work 12 hour days if I won the lottery), even if I wouldn’t expect others to do the same. So this type of article is relatable. Didn’t mean to imply that others needed to work this way.

Are you recommending I put poison in my mouth?

I mean, it says “people would work as much as 130 hours in a week, including an all-nighter”, so I don’t read it as being consistent, nor always her. And the all-nighter was singular.

Edit: forgot to mention that this article is objecting to her formula for success, not her claims about working that many hour as being impossible.

That like 5 hours per night with 20 min to shower/get ready. Not great, but it can be done by taking meetings during your commute into work, having food delivered and eating/working at the same time. I assume that lady didn’t have kids during her time at Google (when she was working those hours).

Edit: Marissa Mayer did not have kids during her time at Google. She had her first after she’d moved to Yahoo. There are no mentions of her hours there, so I assume they were less (not as fun to put into the article)

I think they were including things like travel and executive meals/networking as work time in the hours worked per week. I also assume these people really like their work (more like a hobby), which I can see making it easier to put in the hours. And at some point they can probably afford to pay for things that most of us do in our off hours (cook, clean, sit in traffic). So the numbers are definitely greater than butt in chair time.

This is also my impression of some billionaires. I found this article about the work ethic of some famous people: https://www.inc.com/business-insider/work-ethic-of-super-successful-people.html

I think of it as being similar to the fantasy genre - which often has things like oarks, trolls, etc. Billionaires are the oarks of romcoms. 😉

A classic!

They are super high quality, made in the US and are actually a good company - so at least your money is well spent. It’s a solid investment.

To validate your perspective: I am a hiring manager in tech in the US. I will greatly discount any resume over 2 pages (especially for a higher level candidate). For entry level candidates, one page is sufficient for me. I’m also less concerned about gaps in resumes and more concerned with ability to learn - so I look for things that demonstrate that.

Prom is part of the culture and teenage experience here. Some people are more into it than others. It’s ok not to totally understand or like it. I’m sure there are things that we don’t understand about other places too.

I think schools stopped teaching it at some point. Legal docs are one of the places that use it as originally intended. And, I guess, older folks.

That kinda makes sense because that is the how it is intended to be used (from a punctuation perspective).

el·lip·sis noun the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues.

Here representing the suburban moms.

M, T, Th, F: work from home, have lunch with my husband (if work schedule allows), play with kids when they get home from school

W: work from home, have lunch with my husband (if work schedule allows), badger kids to do music therapy, play with kids

Sa: business meeting with my dad, play with kids, nap, grocery shopping

Su: play with kids, nap, play with kids

I’m in charge of all adhoc things outside of the house and financial. Husband is a stay at home parent and does all the home stuff.

Probably would be - age plays into it as well. My kids are pretty impacted - minimal language, safety issues, etc. I suspect it can vary widely.

My kids don’t have full language capabilities, they struggle with fixations (which means learning has to be customized to their fixations or it won’t happen), and they don’t have enough situational awareness to be safe.

So, therapies are helpful in getting them enough language to have basic needs met (and minimize behavior issues), practicing doing things they don’t prefer for short bursts and learning things like how to behave in a parking lot. We may never get to productivity or self sufficiency - we are focused on staying alive.

Thanks for saying that. 🙂

EDIT: I responded in a way that was not helpful below and I’ve fixed it now…

I would tear off my right arm to have a robust enough safety net to take care of my kids adequately (and thanks to UHC in that situation, I would live thru it!).

Nothing, back of the napkin math for discussion purposes based on the 2 diagnosisea and doc recommendations we’ve gotten. Totally can adjust if you have a more accurate number.
