☆ I was tired of dating apps, so I went speed dating. I was surprised when I actually enjoyed it.

But, since I'm also tired of dating apps, I decided to give speed dating a chance. This still exists in the speed dating framework, of course, because you can find out at the end of the experience that no one you liked liked you. The speed dating system takes away the planning, execution, time issues, and does ensure some sense of safety. Should you need to speak to someone regarding someone at speed dating, they have their full name and credit card info. I predict that, in the age of app fatigue and remote work, structured events like speed dating are going to make a giant comeback.

☆ I would never get married without a prenup — even though mine didn't protect me during my divorce

I got a prenup in 2008I got married right out of grad school and had a Master of Arts in teaching but did not yet have a job . I can't say exactly why my mom was so dead set on the prenup, but I guess she figured it couldn't hurt to protect me financially. My prenup ensured that my money could not be used to cover his school costs. But the emotional relationship died the minute he told me he wanted a divorce. AdvertisementWe were officially divorced by the end of the year, but my prenup did nothing to protect me.

☆ At 76, my dad sent me a 'financial love letter' detailing everything to do when he dies. Now, I'm planning the same for my own kids.

My 76-year-old father sent me and my sister his advanced care directive alongside his will. There will never be a question in our minds as to what to do with our father's assets when he dies. The letter had his lawyer and bank contact numbers as well as passwords and other sensitive information. This year, he sent my sister and me a new addendum — his advanced care directive. I visited my childhood best friend on my holiday weekend visiting home and told her all about my dad's letter.

☆ I moved twice for my spouse's career — then we got divorced. Here's what the experience taught me.

Laura Wheatman Hill was relieved the first time she had to move for her husband's career. Once in Philadelphia, Wheatman Hill found a satisfying job, but had to give it up to move again. Now that she and her husband are divorced, Wheatman Hill said she'd do things differently. I worked hard for years in a career that didn't pay well or appreciate me. I love my kids, and I'm rebuilding my career — still teaching sometimes, but mostly writing from my home in Oregon.
☆ The nefarious new way companies are discriminating against remote workers: time-zone prejudice
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Laura Wheatman Hill | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
In the age of remote work, many people have left coastal hubs for more affordable cities across America. But while the coronavirus pandemic created a surge in remote work, it isn't a pandemic novelty for companies to have a global reach. But the shift in which companies are now offering remote work options provides a clue to why time-zone bias is becoming worse. Jane took her job at the creative agency because she thought her local 9-to-5 working hours would be respected. It is important that companies be extra cognizant of what will happen if they continue to ignore and exploit remote workers.
