In Ratcliffe's case, another consultant forensic psychiatrist found he has a mild form of autism and selective mutism

Never heard it put quite like that.

  1. Greta did get a nomination, just not for director.
  2. Margot didn't, but America did.
  3. Ryan Gosling was the best part of Barbie, partly because of the writing which, again, WAS nominated.
  4. This is not "the patriarchy;" it was a really strong year for those two categories.

I’m going to be honest here, it doesn’t sound like you even really know what you want. Annoying coworkers are an inevitable part of adult life. I have had a lot of jobs at many different companies, and you just learn how to fake nice and play as little of the office politics that you can. The best thing for you, I think, would be finding a remote job if that’s possible. There are a ton of remote positions now a days and that’s the best way to not have to interact with other people, save for zoom meetings.

I am an account manager in the SaaS (software as a service) world. I’ve been doing it about 10 years now, the last 4 have been fully remote. It’s a really easy job for the most part, I mainly just watch movies in the background all day. You just have to be good at time management and talking with clients/running meetings. I currently make around 6 figures doing this job. The best way to get into this is not glamorous, but I’d recommend starting in customer service which I think is pretty much remote these days. You may also take a pay cut starting out, not really sure what it pays nowadays, but it’s the best way to get into doing it without having a degree.

“ I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.” Gary Oldman and I share the same philosophy about work.

Was on Reddit for 11+ years. Apollo for the last few years. Quit cold turkey in June and honestly my life is better for it.

This is cool, but wouldn’t it make any tire issue an engine issue and this way more expensive and difficult to deal with?

Severance was one of the best shows to come out in the last few years.

Best of luck to you too. I also just had my first child and moved across the country. Timing could not have been worse. I haven’t been to an office since the day they sent us home for “2 weeks” while covid calms down. I’ve started applying to local jobs, willing to give up remote work. Never thought I’d be willing to give that up.
