1. 2 months 2. 9 jobs 3. 22% 4. 56% 5. 2 interviews. The first was a bad fit and I removed myself from consideration. The second extended an offer and I accepted. 6. Cold applying. I don’t know about stellar but I definitely make my resume sound as impressive as I can within the bounds of reality, and I tend to interview well. 7.

The May 2025 U.S. jobs report, released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on June 6, 2025, shows a complex labor market. It added 139,000 jobs, beating forecasts of 126,000 to 130,000. This signals resilience amid trade policy shifts and federal job cuts. Yet, prior months’ revisions and falling labor force participation raise concerns about long-term growth.

In reply to Evvy. Did you ever watch Marie Kondo’s show or read her book? One thing I found helpful was thanking things before I got rid of them. It can sound odd, but I do hang on to stuff for sentimental reasons.

In reply to Emma. Re-watched *Hollywood Shuffle* — it still holds up great! I remember hearing Robert Townsend on NPR back in the day explaining how he financed the $40,000 it cost to make the film himself on credit cards and just hoped that he could sell it before the debt became impossible to cover (which he did). He was my filmmaking hero.

In reply to Hyaline. You might also see if there’s a place near you that helps homeless folks/domestic violence survivors get back on their feet — they might take a bunch of household stuff. Or maybe try working with one of those folks who do estate sales? The one I worked with for my parents’ house did all the work and then split the proceeds of the sale with me 50/50.

In reply to Word gripes and other pets named peeve. Yes!!! Very niche I am the editor for a small team that produces geopolitically-focused content – as such, discussion of troop drawdowns is not uncommon. I don’t think anyone on my team has ever gotten it right on the first try. “Draw down” is a verb!! Drawdown” is a noun!!

Left unmanaged, these conflicts can compromise trust, regulatory compliance, and even organizational reputation. So, how can healthcare teams stay ahead?

In reply to goddessoftransitory. There’s always going full New Yorker and using coöperating. I grew up seeing co-op a lot. Possibly because when you’re talking about and with people in the organic farming community both coop (as in chicken) and co-op (cooperatively owned store) are very common? Or just because with the short form it seems more important to emphasize the pronunciation?

In reply to The Prettiest Curse. Thank you for sharing your experience and the well wishes, Prettiest Curse! Fortunately I have Italian citizenship so getting a visa is the one thing I don’t have to worry about. That is an excellent point about opening a bank account, especially in Italy, where every bureaucratic process is made as complicated as possible.

In reply to I don’t know. As a teacher, I think that gift is so sweet! Some teachers will say they don’t eat homemade treats, but if I know the parent fairly well and trust them, I will. It sounds like you have a good enough relationship with these teachers that the homemade treats will be well received.

In reply to BellStell. I do it every year because hurricane season. Mainly I get: – canned goods that don’t have to be heated (tuna, salmon, beans) – a bag of charcoal so we could cook something on the grill (we have a gas stove, so unless we lost gas service we could use that for cooking) – plenty of bottled water to go in our small chest freezer – some large containers of water (I use those big jugs that formerly held cat litter).

In reply to Not A Manager. I totally relate to this. I am not one to have crushes on a lot of people, but when I do… it is definitely a years long experience. Personally, I try to enjoy them and not focus on the “but I can’t have them” point too much. In my case, I kind of actually suspect that my feelings are returned, but we work together and I don’t think that she would be comfortable with our respective roles being what they are.

In reply to Charlie. Lemons worked for me. If heartburn is not an issue, lemonade is good, hard lemon candies like Lemonheads, and of course lemon wedges. I carried lemon wedges in baggies a lot. Caution: be sure to rinse your mouth frequently because the acid isn’t good for your teeth. Luckily I didn’t have any problems. Also, sour or dill pickles.
