Finished Maiden Lane and then read and loved The Raven Prince and To Beguile a Beast. I think I maybe like both of these more than a good half of the Maiden Lane books. I really loved her big angsty MMCs.

What are your favorite non-Maiden lane recs?

I 35F and 34M are 5 years in and I just don’t know if I can keep going. It feels like an issue of stamina on my end and if I did end it I would eventually want it back but that’s not how life works.

Im really struggling to share a life with someone else. I have something like an autistic meltdown every time I have to spend what little PTO I have on holiday with his alcoholic narc mom. I’m IRRITATED that we spend so much time on his stuff through the force mechanism of him having major accomplishments we are obligated to attend monthly.

My partner is a passionate workaholic which is a good fit for me wanting to do be able to do my own thing a lot but then when he is around i want it to be

35F Spent 2-3 years experiencing increasing random episodes of anaphylaxis and the following symptoms:
- POTS
- spleen pain
- headache
- sharp ear pain
- hair loss
- butterfly face rash
- interstitial cystitis
- throat swelling / mouth itching
- itchy eyes and legs
- neuropathy
- flu symptoms if staying up past midnight

Was on daily Zyrtec and Pepcid to manage alongside PEA and Quercetin and very strict low histamine diet as I became allergic to new foods every week.

What put me into remission?
My ferritin level was 6 , all my specialists told me it was fine. I started taking 75 mg Thorne brand iron bigylscinate every other day with 50 mg vita

Title says it all, I got sober in my mid 20s from drugs and alcohol. I quit smoking at 30 after 15 years. I went through treatment for sex addiction and gave up one night stands and bad relationships. I had to give up caffeine at 33 due to a heath crisis.

What I allow myself to indulge in?

I let myself eat a lot of carbs / chocolate and keep secret non romantic / non sexual contact with one bad ex boyfriend I have a soft spot for

When I try to finally give up these last vestiges of mindless self indulgence I feel like a pod person like it’s almost unhealthy to try to fix everything about one’s self and be *that* SOBER. Like what am I optimizing for? I’m still mortal.

My fist Meredith Duran experience and WOW this story, their dynamic, and a MMC who is HOT, competent, politically radical, protective, and a pretty good communicator (at least better than FMC).

Catherine Everleigh is a lonely but passionate workaholic auction house proprietress in a battle with her brother for her share of the family business. Nick O’Shea is an Irish gangster, the Robinhood of Whitechapel and gambling hall owner cum real estate magnate.

Sham marriage turned love match.

I could not get enough of the banter between these two. The yearning. The begging. Then the not begging.

If I can convince one Cam Rohan girlie to crack this then I’ve done my job with this post.

What are we missing from this edit that Stephanie was not a target?

Everyone else had loyalties to each other and some thing to gain from everyone BUT Stephanie. Stephanie seems to benefit none of their games, conversely any of the other tribe members ginning for each other could easily be a core alliance member, friendly number for voting, or FTC vote except for Stephanie who has a large alliance waiting for her post-merge ?

I developed MCAS and then quickly developed POTS after COVID. I made the assumption that my MCAS and POTS were connected and I had the now classic cases many are presenting with and treated it as such. Turns out it was coincidental.

I was getting blood work done frequently but NONE of my 4 specialists flagged that it was bad that my ferratin levels, as a menstruating person, were consistently <10. They all told me it was normal and fine from OBGYN to Immunologist to Cardiologist.

I thought I have nothing to lose but to address the anemia and see if I feel better. I thought “Let me try treating something I know isnt good and I know has a clear antidote and see if it raises my baseline”.

Most recently read Tessa Dare’s Say Yes to the Marquess and I like Rafe enough but he’s not quite scratching the itch. I like that he’s a fighter / tortured hero which is why I picked this up but idc for the I’m SOOOO large and brutish schtick personally.

What I realized I like so much about Benedict and Cam is that they are kind of “alt baddies”, for lack of better terminology. Cam has a tattoo and piercing. They both live alternative vagabond lifestyles. Outsiders from the other side of the tracks who don’t come from wealth but lower class fractured families and found a way to earn a living through hustling. Sure they can break up a bar fight but they are also very soulful and cunning.

The job: run a Help Center & internal knowledge base for B2B SaaS, get the info from Product to the Pages

The overarching philosophy I pitched in my take home assessment is I’d like to get as close to the point of production project management tools as possible and map and track my own work as dependent sub tasks to roll documentation into the Definition of Done.

In the sub tasks I’d link mark documents for change, collect links to figma wire frames, etc.

Then I would draft the content in the Help Center and KB and follow up with SMEs by either tagging onto an existing meeting with the engineering / PM “square” ceremonies or we could work adhoc dependent on volume.

Then I’d finish dra

I work at a company of 250 employees.

They have 125 shared drives

The Gdrive is full of crap from 2018 and random garbage named “delete after May 2022”

What’s the best way to go about doing an audit and building an archive to improve search ability ?

Create a bunch of folders called “Archive”? Change every old doc title to Archive ? What would you earmark to Delete ? Or is that a bad practice to delete anything even if it’s very clearly JUNK.

Does anyone have a guide for best practices they love?

Or an annual email they send to encourage everyone to clean up with detailed instructions on what that means and how to do it?

The right answer is usually the obvious one but I’d love in

Hello BWT,

Just like the title says, I have an immunological conditions that has slowly unfolded in the last year and escalated in the past 6 months that would require more than a regular allergist — I’ve already had those blood tests done.

I strongly suspect I have Mast Cell Activation syndrome but would like to talk to someone who even knows what that is and is following the latest trends.

It seems like a non zero amount of people post-covid become randomly allergic to things they’ve never been before and some people like me apparently go down hill from there.

Thanks Bs

I’m setting up KPIs from scratch for a newer org and am looking for insight on how to get more search result analysis than “top 5 results”

Are yall hooking your Confluence up to a Google Analytics project ?

Do you find your analytics to be strong enough at all on Confluence premium alone ?

Im coming from an 1000 person global company and just started at a small org of < 150 people. It’s ed tech but there isn’t a ton of PRDs or agile ceremonies the documents are mostly operational, SOPs, project plans, policies, trainings etc.

They have a Google drive that isn’t terrible with each of the 5 major teams with its own folder and then some other resources scattered about, an older attempt at a wiki that has some decent info.

I have to put forward a proposal on a plan and everyone seems very concerned about “who will get served first” and seems to think they have a ton of documents and that their product is “extremely complicated” (it’s not).

Am I delusional for thinking I can
