re: People that go to places and don’t try the local cuisine

Wait, you’re angry people decided to eat the food delivered specifically for them at an industry conference where they can more easily network and meet people from that particular industry, as opposed to going off site and away from their entire purpose of being there?
I started my work career where OP is at and I am here currently for work travel. I am most interested in maximizing work time on travel. I did the local cuisine thing for years on work travel nights. It gets old and I just don’t like going over per diem into my own money for work travel dining now.
Plus alcohol usually comes out and that is a whole other mess I just don’t want to deal with as a manager with subordinates.

re: What is the appropriate age to start a family?
Posted by CunningLinguist on 1/14/26 at 9:19 am to FearTheFish
It just depends. I was 34/36 for both kids being born and wife was 33/35. We met at my age of 30. We’d have started a family earlier if we had met earlier in life.
I don’t think there is a wrong age to start a family. For me, I was not ready for marriage/family until my late 20s when I started dating more seriously.

If you're like me you'll transition from hard core fandom to "this is just entertainment". I like exciting close games and the storylines around them. The more at stake the better. I have favorite teams, but if they lose I care for about 2 seconds and then I'm moving on. No more having a day or weekend ruined by what some 20 year old college kids do in a game.
I am pretty much the same. I am way more invested into spending time with my family and friends. I watched 5 or 6 Saints games this year and that is a record low for me. I’d rather just have that time with my kids while they are youngish still.

Seeing alot of K-pop demon hunters on these lists. Drinker even put it in his which is surprising.
It is the songs. They are all bangers and really elevate that movie.
For kids entertainment, it is this or Bluey that is actually entertaining for parents. My kids moving on past bluey is kind of sad almost.

I’ve got a friend who went to LA right after graduating college. He was into graphic design. He started working at Nickelodeon doing graphic design in art department. Made his way up to production and is now a producer for kid’s animated shows. He is not generational rich but definitely successful thru a lot of hard work. He is now 41 finally “making it”.

After the Stranger Things debacle, moved on to Season Two of Ted Danson in “Man on the Inside” (queue the gay references to the title). Season One was a well done series about a guy in an old folks home. Figured Season Two would be safe from the agenda. Nope.
It is like the D storyline of that season (Man on The Inside). Are shows not allowed to have gay characters period?

I think its just funny that this is about Cooper who is barely famous and not about Nikki Bella who is the celebrity that is making this a bigger deal.
I have no idea who Nikki Bella is; I know who Cooper Dejean is. More people watch NFL than fake wrestling.

I am good. Only city that I really get nervous about is Los Angeles when I travel for work. The High 5 in Dallas is garbage but I drive thru that all the time

Our PTO rolls over year to year. That said, i am up against the PTO cap and have to use my PTO for next week or I will not accrue more PTO until I am below the cap.

My last day is Friday. I am having to fly out to Florida tonight for work and travel back on day off (Friday).
Every year it seems people are taking off earlier and earlier. One of my colleagues took off from Thanksgiving to second week of January. I want that break.

If you want them, absolutely. The most challenging and rewarding thing I will ever do is raise children.
Just a general comment, the most rewarding things in life are those that come with a lot of challenge at least for me. Kids is #1 on that list. My career is another example. I am highly paid because I have come out the other side of challenging situations.
