My husband unilaterally ended our relationship about 6 months ago, but we still live together. We have 3 kids. For the long term, we brainstormed either living together, or getting two places very clo
  • Nta.

    You two are divorced. In fact it would be usual that everyone lives separate. The easy thing to do is: don’t tell until everything is fixed. He keeps living where you currently are, you find a place nearby (which is a courtesy, actually). Nearby for the kids, that they can visit you both without much struggle, but separate for your well-being.

  • What would you do if you were a disembodied consciousness (like a ghost)?
  • Interesting. I absolutely would horrify people. Especially children. Like ruining their sleep. Mess with them until they are admitted to the funny farm. Grow a habit out of that and do that over and over again, in different areas of the world until I become a legend of a nightmare that actually comes true.

  • Auf welches Produkt schwört ihr?
  • Putzlappen gerne von Jemako, die sind echt klasse.

    Auf meine Kitchen Aid (Artisan) Küchenmaschine möchte ich auch nicht mehr verzichten.

    Und meine elektrischen Rolladen, die bei bestimmter Sonneneinstrahlung oder Temperatur automatisch wieder herunterfahren würde ich ebenso schwer vermissen.

  • Auf welches Produkt schwört ihr?
  • Seidensticker ist so meine Marke bei Hemden, aber die klingen auch nicht schlecht. Ich hasse nur das Gwerch mit Schlimm-Line usw. Da brauche ich echt immer jemanden, der beraten und mir ein normalen Schnitt geben kann. Kennst du Läden, in denen man die Marke bekommt?

  • Is having an Android really a deal-breaker for some people?
  • I think it is, especially when the default doesn’t communicate well with a different ecosystem (Android vs iOS). So installing a app that gives you more features than plain text and works with all relevant mobile os worlds absolutely makes sense.

  • Do not Think!

    This has been a while and I had a pro forma manager (actually, we switched roles now and then, sometimes he was my manager, sometimes i was his) who backed me every time and vice versa. We still are friends.

    Without going into details, a part of our job were reports. Now, the marketing used to come up with „we need this and that“ and my job used to be to translate this request into something useful and something the upper management could read. More often than not those requests lacked a understanding of the overall market, but that‘s why I was involved. And I often just translated it just informing what I have done.

    As in the market, sometimes the figures are, well, not as good as expected. Who to blame? The market? The Planning? No, the reports are tinkered, thats why this looks so bad. So one day my (to that time) boss came up to me and said: „DO NOT THINK!“ to which I tried my most unintelligent „Huh?“.

    We had actually a good laugh and he explained to me that they expected me from now on to exactly write the reports as requested. And the reports will be run only over him (aka he just automatically forwarded me the requests triggered by some keywords). But every conversation about we‘ve had ended with „and remember: do not think!“.

    I really hated this time, but I did exactly as I was told. It hurt to see the nonsense, the not matching comparison. But - I shall not think. The figures looked better, but were so ridiculous that after a couple of month our General Manager came to us and asked what is going on after marketing couldn‘t explain the reports - again.

    Me not wanting to hurt the company did actually double work, one report for the marketing and one (correct) one to be stored for later (and my boss) as I was fully aware of this situation. We could explain. We even had comparisons ready and something for him to report to his regional manager.

    Of course this had an impact. Suddenly, the position „head of marketing“ was vacant. One HR who threatened us with „repercussions“ left the company shortly after. I think three other folks got demoted (and left after a couple of month). And the GM greeted us with „you are free to think again“ for a week or two.
