It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.
The fact that you can’t even afford a simple treat or buy yourself something nice without feeling like you’re making a terrible financial decision is so annoying, and this is despite working a 9-5, 40 hours a week.
I’m very anti corporate and professionalism but somehow “don’t bring your iced coffee into an interview” makes sense to me and no it can’t really be justified but logistically it’s just like…don’t do that lol
