Um, so I only recently stumbled on Book Outlet (after hearing about it everywhere) and they‘re currently having a sale… so my finger slipped and I bought some books. 🫣

willaful whoops! 6mo
BarbaraJean “My finger slipped” 😂😂 That happens to me ALL THE TIME on Book Outlet! So strange! 😆 6mo

1. Bookoutlet
2. Pinterest
3. YouTube

I am so boring.

dabbe I don't think so. I forget about Pinterest, and I LOVE it! I watch YouTube videos all the time. And I need to try Bookoutlet. Do you read books online, or do you love having them in your hand. I “think“ I know the answer, but I'm not 100% sure. 🤩 Thanks for sharing! 💜🖤🧡 12mo
TheLudicReader @dabbe …you don‘t use Bookoutlet? 😳 shook and horror! I 100% buy the books. (edited) 12mo
dabbe Here's where we (surprisingly) differ! #shockandhorrorindeed 😱 I thought you only liked the physical books! 🤩 I prefer the physical book, but I'm cheap enough to read it online if I can read it for free. 😃 That said, before I go to Amazon, I will now go to Bookoutlet, thanks to your rec. 💜🖤🧡 12mo
TheLudicReader @dabbe I do only like physical books. BookOutlet is for physical books. Which I buy...too many to ever read. 12mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader Let's get physical, physical ... I wanna get physical ... now I'll have that in my head all day! 🤩 12mo

Hey my #SpookyGhostClub! I don‘t want to bombard you with too many posts and tags, so if you‘re on the lookout for more events happening this October, bingo boards to play, or Scarathlon posters… check out the link to the Google drive folder where we‘ve been saving everything. Feel free to add to it too, if you see we‘re missing anything! Happy haunting, my lovelies!

dabbe Thanks for the idea, too! 🧡🎃🧡 13mo
AmandaBlaze Thank you! #Scarathlon is a favorite time of year for me, and I got a little over-excited with all the posts the other day. lol (edited) 13mo

Another fun day to be a recruiter at Google! *insert sarcastic look here* - Today started with an ominous note and a last minute meeting added to our calendars, at which time we were informed that there would be a "significant reduction" to the recruiting org globally. We then had to wait a few hours to see if we got an email layoff notification. I did NOT lose my job today, but my motivation is gone and now I'm just looking for an escape hatch ?

TheBookgeekFrau Congratulations?? Condolences?? 😬 I'm hoping you have to good book to lose yourself in after this crappy sounding day 📖💕 14mo
ravenlee Good luck in…whatever comes next? I hope something settles in for you. 14mo
marleed Oh dang. I‘m so glad you retained your position, but I feel bad you are put through so much stress. 14mo

I hate bailing on any book but 80 some pages in I just lost all interest in reading this anymore. It‘s not a bad book and if your into tech and weird stuff this book is for you, just not for me. I guess I‘m just not as nerdy as I thought 🤣🤣

TrishB Oh how lovely 😁 1y
CarolynM That looks delightful, but the important question is, is the coffee any good?😆 1y
Centique @AlaMich if you go, and want a quieter resort experience, i recommend coming here to Musket Cove. This is our 4th visit and we‘re too in love with it to try any other resort 😂 1y
Centique @CarolynM the coffee is not great! But i can live with it 😂😂 The only thing i miss about home are my cats and my local barista 💕 1y
AlaMich @Centique @Centique Thanks for the recommendation! I see from the map that NZ is pretty close to Fiji, you lucky duck!! 1y
Cathythoughts Enjoy Paula ! Fiji, I can only imagine in my dreams ♥️ 1y
Centique @AlaMich @Cathythoughts i am lucky 💕but meantime i dream of visiting europe which is about 24 hours of flying 😬😬 Have to pick some closer destinations! 1y

I've been adrift since Friday but wanted to say thank you for the sweet messages on my last post. It's been incredibly tough (feels like it's been a month). My team was cut in HALF bc of Google's layoffs, during our busy season. So it's been a mix of grief, panic, 3x the work, and struggling to feel good about a company I was once proud to work for (but I also need to pay the bills). At least I read 20 books this month before it all went to shit!

NovelGirl82 Ugh- I am so sorry that you‘re dealing with this. Be gentle with yourself and take time for some self care. 💚 2y
BkClubCare {{{{hugs}}}} 2y
AmyG I am sorry. These are some tough times we are going through. Hugs (edited) 2y

Kangaj1 Thinking of you. Anne Helen Peterson's latest substack article is about layoff culture and she mentions Google. 2y
SamAnne Oh, hang in there. So sorry. 2y

brittanyreads Sending positivity and peace your way. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. 🌻 2y
marleed I keeping thinking about you man bing through this. I‘m so glad you still have your job, but boy it sucks to lose confidence in your employer. 2y
swishandflick @marleed Thank you, friend! It's definitely an unsettling position to be in. And as a recruiter that works with young interns, I'm having a bit of an existential crisis on whether I'm a hypocrite for "hyping up" the company while hiring. Like it's part of my job but also I'm struggling to believe in what I'm selling. 2y
marleed @swishandflick oh I wish I could reach out and give you a hug. I can hardly even fathom that this of all companies is becoming less than an excellent place to work. It was the dream job of so many for so long. … It‘s making me think about the necessary creation of unions 100 years ago! Btw, the auto correct translation of man bing is managing your way! 2y
