Give one month’s notice and be gone!!

I personally don’t think that you owe her a month notice if you can get out soon enough. That money would be better spent on hiring movers if you can find any.

Isn’t 30 days notice standard for renting? I guess it depends on what the agreement was.

Edit: interesting!

Interesting article. We don’t have anything in writing, no lease or written agreement. I have a $275 deposit that if I didn’t get back, I wouldn’t be broken about. But, because I want to end things right, I would basically say “I’d like to move out, and I’d like to know what kind of notice you need, I can move as soon as 2 weeks from now but also understand that is short notice”

It looks like it is legally 30 days notice in Arizona, but since you don’t have a written lease maybe just ask (and don’t say “I realize this is short notice”) if 2 weeks is ok?

We just finished season 5. That’s all the DVDs our friends had. Now I have to subscribe to Hulu for the rest. But also more broad City.

I’ve been wanting to make Persian sweet potato stew for a while, and stocked up on sweet potatoes during a grocery run a few weeks ago. I hadn’t gotten around to making it , but decided tonight would be the night. Pulled up the recipe and … it needs orange juice. I’d forgotten that element (it’s been a few years since I made it) and I have nothing even resembling OJ.

Now I am frustrated and hungry and don’t know what dinner will be. (Plus it is two hours later because I took a TV and crochet break while I thought about dinner, so I am even hungrier.) I can’t even just boil some pasta for a quick, easy meal because I ate leftover pasta for lunch today.

Bake a sweet potato and use the same spices as the stew, add some fancy toppings?

My big boss consistently writes carona instead of corona and it drives me crazy.

My {supervisory type person in a role adjacent to mine that has a healthcare Master’s degree} keeps coming into my office to CHAT and ask stupid questions about my kids and my pets (that I never tell her about anyway). UGH.

The whole point of my daytime schedule being rotated and limited is so that we are ALONE in our office and have minimal contact with staff during business hours.

UGH UGH UGH

I took last week off and was warned by my colleagues that this person has gone even nuttier than normal. She’s apparently not handling her lack of social interaction well at ALL.

But: UGH GET OUT AND FURTHERMORE WE DON’T CHAT

My wife’s adviser in grad school put up a stop light outside his door so people wouldn’t know if it’s ok to come into his office. Really, it was up for one other professor who always came by to bother him. Everyone else knew it was fine to just drop in.

We have long joked about rigging up the door handle to be electrified.

co-worker just claimed my work as his own to my boss. I only found out because she sent it to another person that I’m helping to make sure that the communications are aligned.

Take off a sock and put it on the door. “Don’t want to touch my stinky sock? Then don’t come in to chat.”

I indicated that it was my wording, so that I’d be happy to make sure our broader message was aligned. And I have the email and slack discussion where it is clear that the intro especially is completely my own contribution (the other bits are building on his crappy first draft to make it something not crappy, and someone who doesn’t know the space might not recognize how crappy it was - including the person who did the first draft).
