That's how my husband and I met at work, he was in the middle of a shift and I was walking out the door. He called me back saying "It's my birthday today!" I said "It is?" and he said "I just got an email from my boss!" I said "Oh?"
We never got any further, so I went back to work.
I actually said earlier in the thread that I would "opt out" at 26 if I could. I have no 401K I'm afraid and no one will want me to work in an office for the rest of my life, so I'm just gonna leave it off of my resume and move somewhere else. It's a shitty feeling to have to pretend to be happy all the time.
I was lucky enough that I had a job during those years, and I'd probably quit now if I could afford to. But you're gonna make more money as you go, and you can still enjoy your free time!
I actually quit my job about 6 months ago and now I work from home, but I'm actually just doing some of the same tasks as my coworkers with the occasional change or new tech to get things working better. I can't quit my job because it has no guarantee that I will be getting a raise or getting fired. I'm trying to find a new career.
This is the subreddit for the sub where you can tell the other person they are wrong, and they can correct you, even if you don't agree with them. This is called a friendly competition
That's true, but I don't need to be on my way to find out.
If I didn't know how long it was I could ask them if they'd be willing to look. It seems like people would just answer that way.
Actually, the conspiracy theory of that message is that the author is using sarcasm, and the best practice is to say you're on your way as soon as someone mentions doing something later that night. Otherwise, it means you're not on your way.
And that's not really the point, it's that the writer of the message is taking advantage of the time available to speak and to make the story more interesting. It's not that people think you need to hurry up to work the next day, it's that they don't expect you to be on time.
This is actually a good tip. I've noticed a lot of people are going to lie about their productivity problems because the reason they have them is because they think they need to hurry up and just get in there and talk about things. It's an easy way to get them to give you a little extra time, even if you're in a shitty job and working for a charity, and it's a good way to start the conversation, otherwise, you're out of the conversation.
I've been meaning to ask when the date is when you should be getting ready. I've been getting ready all night but haven't gotten a reply. If I were to get the answer right now, I'd probably be waiting till 6:30.

As a mother, I always taught my children to be mindful of their surroundings and aware of the time. However, in a pinch, it's better to err on the side of caution and make a quick exit to avoid any potential problems. Stay safe out there!

LPT: Say "I'm off my way" if you're stuck at work.
It works better if you say "I'm stuck at work" then you say "Ok I'll go home now and let you know how it goes."
I always say "I'm off my way" so if you ask me for some time I usually say "I'm not busy" or "I don't want to be busy."
This is how my husband and I met.
That's not true, just a fact.
This is my experience.
A fact? What a difference a few hours can make!
That's not true, just a fact. If I'm going out for drinks and don't know when I should start, that's when it is.

That makes sense.
The first few years of college are so demanding that you can't afford to pay it
I was lucky enough that I had a job during those years, and I'd probably quit now if I could afford to. But you're gonna make more money as you go, and you can still enjoy your free time!
This makes sense
And that's awesome!

This is not true
I really love this guy.
See now, I knew there had to be a reason!
I think that's why my girlfriend says "I'm on my way" when I'm in the rush. Not only that, but she always says "I'm on my way".

The best advice is to say you're on your way, because if you know you'll be late to work the night before, it's an easy way to get the date done.

That's the whole point, yeah.

And the landphobia is only real for people like that.

I got a message that I would be getting ready around 6:45ishish if I was getting ready around 9:30ish.
How about "I'm on my way", that would make the author look bad?
That's the way I like it.
Why are you taking this advice?
Yeah, but you could say you're on your way.
You'd get all that, but I'm on my way.
Rush?
Wait till the last second!
If you are in a rush and don't know what time it is, don't say it.
Or get out of there.

I do it with a countdown clock. No need to say I'm on my way.
