I have achieved Executive Office level of the game Banker Tino.
There was a fun moment where BankerTino's supervisor (he of the "this is very complex and hard to understand document language") said "ok, I'm going to give you the phone number of the executive office..." and I said "You're not going to hand me off to them?" and he said "oh, ok, I can do that."
The exec office CS person was kind, listened, took down my info and said she was going to see if they could generate a letter expunging the situation, or if I needed to write one first and they would then respond. I will hear from them in 48 hours.
man. your bank is a trip and a half.
Sox, your bank is insane. I previously thought all banks were insane, but yours is extra-special-super NUTS.
Nora, I hope your friend recovers as fully as possible.
Sox, I hope the banking stuff gets cleared up quickly.
Sorry about the work problems, smonster.
I just did a trial run on packing for my trip later this week. It looks like I'll be able to get everything in my carry-on and pocketbook. I'll still check the carry-on, but I won't have to schlep my big suitcase around airports, through train stations, and up staircases.
So...I haven't mentioned this divorce or baby on FB. Because it's too huge and I don't really want to deal with having to give lots of details and lots of "oh, I'm so sorry" and so on. But, if I plan to continue to use FB, which I'd like to, I have to mention it eventually. I want to wait on the baby but mention the divorce now. But it seems easy to get it all out there are once.
Ideas, wise hivemind? Maybe I should just not care? (I was waiting until after my SILs wedding but I still haven't gotten around to mentioning it, I've noticed.)
mention the divorce now.
delay the baby for a bit. that would be my advice.
I agree. The disclosure process is about what is comfortable for you.
People will have their reactions, because that is what people do, but you don't need to take care of anyone else's feelings but your own.
I hope you get all the support you can manage.
le nub is wise. It may even be wise to say that there will probably be more on the topic later, but that for now you simply wanted to make sure that people knew.
Remember, though, that you don't owe anyone an explanation, except those nearest and dearest you've already talked to.
Yeah and I would expect some nastiness regardless. But you'll need to get it out there eventually anyway so might as well greet it head on and with dignity from the get go.
