Does anyone else freak out after washing your hair out and seeing what the comb is holding on to? I swear I’m going to be bald in the next two years at this rate. 😭😭😭 #thickhair #gettingolder #adulting #middleageproblems

Why do I get sticker shock EVERYTIME I go grocery shopping? I’m not even looking at the expensive stuff anymore. Blinders are on! 😵‍💫😭 #groceries #grocerystorerobbery #gottaeat

@IPSYCare @IPSY When the delivery service just won’t let your product be great. My cute #IPSY IconBox was delivered crumpled and upside down on my welcome mat, products completely shook inside. Current score: 0-2. @USPS, is this you? 🤨 #PresentationMatters #DeliveryBoxFootball

@mwmoedinger Yeah. Apparently, this is where we come to vent and commiserate vicariously in our miserable lives together… or experience schadenfreude to make ourselves feel better. 😒🫤🥴 How dare we look for ways to feel better! Humanity is doomed. Sigh.

OK y'all I post cranky contractor takes and get a ton of likes and 1000s of views right away, and I post pretty pictures with positive sentiment and get 50 views in 2 hours. If social media feels "negative" this might be why!

Phrase: If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. I just experienced it. After not being worn for three COVID winters because, well, you know, the sole of my boots gave up on life. Literally, fell off in chunks and disintegrated far from home. #RIP #NewWardrobeNeeded #sigh

I swear, the person I see in the mirror vs the person I see in a photo taken of me on that VERY SAME DAY are the same. I do not know that woman.

@annedereaux 😭😭😭

@JoySeeLove I can’t really take a break until September.

Just finished a permit set at midnight on a Friday, only to work on an SD presentation all day tomorrow... that has to be presented on a SUNDAY. What is wrong with this picture.

How in the world did I get a meter maid/man ticket saying I was overtime at a parking spot controlled by a pay-by-app system? I still had 30 more minutes to go when the ticket was written. Make it make sense. 😤😤😤@cityofmemphis #downtownmemphis #beyondannoyed

@AmbitiousThnkr 👀👀👀

New client’s initial payment check bounced. Haven’t started any services yet. Bank says account is closed. Feeling a kind of way. 🤨

@mwmoedinger Yassss!!! We exist! Launched biz while hubby in full-time school as non-traditional student. 🫣🥴😅

There's a lot of talk about how "it's possible for me to be an entrepreneur bc my husband/wife has a steady job" and I'd just like to shout out to those who launched successful businesses *without* that support and safety net.

@MelissaRDaniel @tlhughes00 Whatevs. Following in your illustrious footsteps! 😁🥰

@tlhughes00 @JoySeeLove But your superhero capes look soo nice 😜

Every couple of months I’m reminded that I have to be extraordinary to be ordinary. This is exhausting and I t’s not sustainable. 😢

@annedereaux I fell out just reading your tweet about it. 😵😵😵

Getting efficient back office systems in place is sooooo tedious and daunting OMG.

@ngterry5 @LisaRaynes @BBCWomansHour We need them all and more of them!

@LisaRaynes @BBCWomansHour It has come to my attention recently that many single women are worried about being taken advantage of by 99% male builders/installers. Would having a female architect/project manager help? Or do we need female builders?

After I trained for seven years as an architect I was then made redundant twice after maternity leave so I set up Pride Road Architects as a franchise business 6 years ago to enable other female architects to re-enter the profession after kids. @BBCWomansHour

Trying to convince my brain that having a break between deadlines doesn’t = no work at all. 🥴 #pathtobalance #notavacationyet #architectlife #lifeofanarchitect #architecture

@internetrebecca Require street widths & design (which are essentially permanent) to accommodate vehicles, like fire trucks (something that is technically temporary, like you can get smaller trucks), in the name of “efficiency.” 😒

@SullyBusiness Interior brick wall. Real or fake.

What qualifies something as a “luxury apartment”? (Wrong answers only)
