I have nothing to answer your questions with but I will say welcome to CT and once you get here do yourself a favor and check out New Haven to try some real pizza.

Think this entirely depends on the profession. I do web development - when I was in the office all my working relationships were through digital messages/online meetings to team members across the country. It’s the exact same now that I permanently work from home.

But to piggy back on what you’re saying - things like tone of voice matter way more when the work is entirely digital. No one can see me, so how I sound is the major influence for how they’ll perceive me.

Large amount of renters. Also a lot of college kids.

Schools probably not so good.

Rent seems about average for central ct area

It’s centrally located that’s what draws people here and it costs less than Hartford?

It’s not a bad spot to live but not a great spot. Been here 5 years so far and I’m ready to move somewhere quieter.

Gonzaga was the #1 rated offense. Held to under 60 pts and below 40% from the field.

Had a guided meditation recently very focused on breath work. Not even kidding my body was buzzing like I was coming up on DMT. A very profound experience indeed.

Had some gelato that was caramel and olive oil flavor. Ordered it because it sounded weird. Ordered it again because it was fucking delicious.

If I’m not mistaken don’t most high level players have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if the team is relegated?

This has been go to since I got my corporate job. I always work the week of Xmas and New Years. My co workers are all out, no meetings, and can't get a ton done. Even better since I started working from home. Bonus is that on the off chance something breaks, you look good for being around to take care of it (I work in IT)

Same but I just woke up and missed everything. Was it that bad?

Hey so I’ve been in your shoes when I was younger. At times I worked a second or even third job. If you have a goal your trying to save up for then it’s only worth it up until you reach that goal. So if want to save some money to move out, calculate what your target is and then estimate how many months you need to pull the extra work for and do not go past that. Burnout is real and you’re young and have plenty of things to enjoy that won’t be an option to you when you’re older. Just an example of what I did. I was working full time and my buddy and I wanted to backpack Europe over a summer. I needed an extra $6k. To do this I got a job as a barback, one shift a week on Friday nights. I worked Monday through Friday 8-6 at my regular job and then worked 7-3am at the bar. I did this for 6 months and reached my goal and then quit the bar job. Those 6 months were brutal, I essentially had 1 day off to recover and didn’t go out and hang with my friends much at all. But it got me to my goal and it was worth every hour I lost for the experience. So main take away - find your number, hit it, and then decrease your hours would be my advice.
