Reply to LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34
Not always the case. The highway could have a massive pile up and you could be trapped for hours. The backroads tend to be slower but at leastoving and with fewer accidents. If you know how to drive in bad weather (slow down, maintain traction, etc.), The backroads will be safer than the highway full of fools on summer tires going at or over the speed limit in poor conditions...

Whatever you do with this account, you can always create a new one, so changing the password, etc. probably won't work.

Seek therapy. Work-related guilt is a sickness and should be treated as such. Your life is more important than your job, and you should enjoy it more.

Remember I’m human and not a program but also that if they fired me today they’d have another in about 2 weeks.

If you're in but not familiar with Colorado and your GPS tries to detour you off the highway, take a few minutes to review the route. Odds are the detour may involve primitive roads only meant for high clearance 4x4s.

If you got hit by a bus tomorrow, they would have your job filled within the week. Work is work. Give everything you have when you’re on the job but when you’re off that’s your own time and you don’t owe your job anything more.

There are exceptions to this--such as when the interstate is completely shut down and the back roads have not been closed. I have had a few times when back road travel was the ONLY option and staying stuck where I was wasn't a good option either.
Last time was Dec. 2012. Storm hit Indiana. Shut down I65 completely. We had started in Illinois and had been heading to WV for Christmas. Made it to somewhere in, Dayton perhaps, by traveling backroads for hours. Every time something became impassible, had someone looking up which way was best to turn. Don't want to be in that situation again--but there are times that back roads are your only option.

Maybe Twitter could help you with that connection

I have to disagree with this, I like to see it as an opportunity for learning.
I ended up taking my little brother through the water cycle as a toddler using analogues he could relate to - such as steam from a kettle or pot as well as condensation on a cold window.
We got through it by the time we arrived at his preschool and he never asked why it rained again and all through his childhood, he knew that I'd talk to him seriously and answer his questions.
He's now a fan of theoretical physics, and studying towards that end at uni.
Nurture their curiosity, no matter how weird or trollish it may seem.

That’s why he’s saying you should practice in an empty lot, no?

Reply to comment by Sethor in LPT: If you want to gift someone a pet for Christmas, make sure to ask them beforehand to see if they really want it and so they know to do research before getting it. by Flat_Weird_5398
When my daughter was 5, I "gifted" her a cat. She'd wanted one every since she could understand what a cat is, but I made her wait until she was old enough to handle a cat gently. We went to the animal shelter on her birthday and she was matched to a kitten that fit her personality and energy level.
The two of them are laying here on the couch with me 10 years later taking an afternoon nap. They are inseparable at home, and he's been a great comfort to her over the last decade.
I think "gifting" a pet can go right.

Also, as someone who lives in a snowy and hilly place, don’t be afraid to downshift while going downhill. It slows you down without braking and risking a spin out in icy conditions. If you drive an automatic, look up how to manually downshift in your car.
