I’m sorry for your loss. Grief is never easy, and it’s especially more difficult when you have the responsibility of managing your loved ones’ estate.

My mom lost her mom a few months ago. She was the executor of her estate too, and she also lamented that she never got the time or space to mourn. My relationship with my grandmother was complicated, for me the hardest part was knowing that I’ll be doing the same for my mom someday, probably sooner than I’d like.

I tried to help her through it, but she wouldn’t really let me. I think she felt that cutting through all the red tape and working through family stuff gave her something to keep her occupied, although it was clear that it wasn’t easy. She’s finally starting to make the time to mourn now, and I know that someday you’ll get a chance to too.

Anyway, I’m not much of a mom, but if you need help, advice, or someone to send you a hug, I’m here for you

Some grocery stores only give a staff discount on certain days of the week. But the five-finger discount works every day

My always-on doomscroll device’s weather app today told me about an aviation accident that killed two people in another country

I just wanted to know if the snow was going to let up, why am I getting international news of death and dismemberment?

Literally an hour ago my boss tells me he doesn’t think I’m working fast enough because things aren’t always getting finished. I tell him that six months ago the labour budget was reasonable and but now I have half as many hours to do the same amount of work.

He tells me it can’t be helped, the labour budget is what it is. I tell him that the work can’t be helped without more labour, because it is what it is.

Anyway, I guess what I learned on the job is if you use management’s own words against them you’ll get written up
