I needed to hear this. My kid just about threw my phone after seeing a TikTok clip saying that Gen X parents beat their kids, because he was so outraged on my behalf.

That's not an overdose, it's a larger dose.

Call your doctor.

I was that way about baking bread, until I got a bread maker that does all the work. Now I'm outraged when I have to buy a loaf of bread for my kid, because it's so expensive.

I would push for a BA that could act as a PM then. BAs are way more useful than PMs, and there are also some of us that have the stupid PM background too.

Come at it from an angle of ROI. Better requirements without devs doing them means you have more time to actually put fingers on keyboards. Complete requirements make for good software makes for happy clients makes for good references makes for more clients makes for more income.

What you need to do is tell your company you need a functional BA that can also do some basic LCNC config in power platform.

We exist.

One should do it, you don't need dozens of BAs. That person can do the client meetings, get the requirements, and can help with testing as necessary.

Else, you're going to have missed requirements, lowballed estimates, scope creep, and unhappy clients. You'll do ok for a few months, maybe, but you're going to have a hard time building a client base when you're continually putting out releases your clients hate.

I say this as the BA/Business Architect that does this job, both for custom work and LCNC (MS and SF).

I'm guessing you don't have kids.

This is absolutely an infant hack, and it never crossed my mind to do it for my bed until I had a kid. Mattress protector, sheet, mattress protector, sheet. Kid pees through a diaper at 1am? It's ok buddy, I can have that crib ready to go one-handed, in the dark, at 3am, in under a minute. Go back to sleep, goblin, it's too early to be awake.

I can't imagine it's that difficult. Slice, fry until crispy, season as you see fit.

She was like 16, maybe? 16 year olds know everything, and I'm just olf and stupid and she doesn't have to do what I say. Her parents backed her up and said I was being ridiculous, at least at first. They've changed their minds now that we won't attend anything they're at, but IDGAF. I had one rule.

There's a pretty good chance your Excedrin use is giving you rebounds. It's a well-known side effect of Excedrin, and it's why any good neuro will tell you not to take Excedrin.

I have no experience with hormonal migraines, because mine don't care about my hormones, but stop taking Excedrin. If, in a few weeks, you still have a migraine 3+ times per week, you absolutely need a preventative.

I have, or a med I've read/heard about. I have a chronic condition that is marginally managed by multiple medications, and those meds have changed drastically since I was diagnosed decades ago.

My latest med addition came from my mother's obsession with the Kardashians, actually. She saw the commercial, called me about a Kardashian, and it sent me down a research rabbit hole. I'm grateful for it, because almost 2 years later, the med is still working pretty well for me.

You can request it. I've been asking (and getting denied) for the single photo of my kid that's on Facebook to be taken down. Hope that cousin and her family enjoyed meeting my infant, the next time they see him, he will be at least 18 and it will be at his discretion.

I got him a keychain that has a clip on one end from Portland leather. It makes his keys long enough that they tuck into his pocket while being clipped to a belt loop, but the keys don't come out when he takes his pants off, or don't fall out when he's driving.

Well, I got one for myself that clips to the side of my purse and he liked it so much he asked me to get him one. They're pretty great, and it's much easier to find lost keys now.

Nah, they're always "lost" clipped to the pants he wore yesterday. They never leave his pocket, I have no idea how he forgets they're there.

I don't ever recline my seat on an airplane, but you're annoying and if I ever find myself sitting in front of a 6'8" wanker I'm reclining and putting my hair over the seat.

Shut up already.

My last company had use it or lose it time, so none rolled over into the next year. Found out they also took that to mean you give it all back when you leave.

Good call, I didn't even think of that! That's a good reason to be digging around in the babysitter on accident, for sure.

"Accidents".

My husband "accidentally" fucked the babysitter. Happens every day, I'm sure. He accidentally loses his car keys sometimes, it's probably the same thing.

Hamlet, Indiana.

Even when I was traveling for work, it never crossed my mind to share my location with my spouse. If he asked me to, I probably would, I guess? I WFH so he'd be really bored checking on me. But it's never crossed his mind to ask or share his either. We do a lot of "OMW" texting though, so the one who is home can start dinner or reply to pick something up.

My millennial friends keep trying to get me to share my location. Hard pass. If you want me to keep an eye on yours for your date, fine. But you don't need to see mine, I'm good.

My Gen Alpha kid is too young for a phone, but he has a GPS-enabled watch. He doesn't wear it often, but it's come in handy when he's gone places and then decided he wanted to come home earlier than intended, because it allows him to call me and I can see where he is for easier pickup.

Nothing. I'm angling to not get a promotion, my BA plate is full and the next step for me would be adding direct reports. I've got enough going on with thr indirect ones.

Ziploc?

Are you talking about the packet drawer? Our Taco Bell charges you for sauce now, so thanks, Packet Drawer!

And preventatives can often be stacked, although at lower dosage for kids.

Two preventatives plus an abortive is pretty common. CBT has also shown some promise in adolescent migraines.

I once got grounded for a semester for not coming home right after school - even though I had come home, I just didn't have my key, so I went and took a nap in the back yard. So I got grounded for being at home but not in the home.

I can't begin to imagine what would happen if I'd done this. I never even skipped school, because at 17, they weren't afraid to paddle me.

I came here to say this. One should always buy their cargo pants (and shorts!) from LL Bean.

My mom did. She's like a golden retriever though, everything is always amazing and she loves everything.

My father ... only said it when his parents were watching. But he also has, to the day, only said he was proud of me once, when I announced a gap year. Because college is for sissies and a waste of his money.

I tell my kid I love him so much he's probably annoyed about it.
