The title says it all, I live near Anderlecht and there's music every 5 minutes from cars waiting at the lights near our house or just passing by and obviously this is noise nuisance, but what can I even do about it? It's my second year year and I dread summers where I'm burning inside the house but cannot open the windows at night (either) as the music keeps waking me up.

Is their anything I can do or do I simply have to accept people acting antisocial. We've even approached and warned some cars who kept honking at the lights, but I don't think it's a sustainable approach

edit: I am trying to move out obviously (I'm renting), but the heatwaves this year made it extra hard to cope with it. Also if you happen to enjoy loud music late at night in your car, remember this post

I had a layover in Helsinki and was looking for a way to spend a couple of hours at the airport. At that point I had lain my eyes on presumably the one item that would change my life forever - something I would always reach for and even worse, long for with every bite in a sweet treat that should have a glimpse of this tropical fruit. Unbeknowst to the consequences of those few euros spent I went back home. I cannot recall the exact moment I had begun nibbling, but anytime someone happened to be in Helsinki I asked about my Moomin. I could no longer bear this yearning and tried to acquire some online, but behold! The banaanikeksi are DISCONTINUED! Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea??? Yes I've already sent an email to customers service.

Hey,

I'm statutair at the public sector, probably one of the last generations, at the FOD of my dreams - but I figured I am not the biggest fan of the public sector (or specifically the service I work in and my chef...), I'll have about 3 years of anciënniteit in september and I know I can end up somewhere else through mobility.

Last week my husband asked if I'd ever be satisfied with a job and I said yes, if I'd be a professor without thinking a second. This is a childhood dream, very ambitious as I am not a particularly gifted student, despite always having had high grades on my theses. There are a few phd opportunities in the social sciences this summer and I'm very tempted to apply. I've already got 2 master degrees and I'm aiming for a third one as a work student. because I really like academia and learning. I know it's not smart in theory and it might even be a disadvantage on the long term as I'd be overqualified as a (post-)doc, but I cannot shake it off. Do you guys have any experience or advice?

disclaimer: I'm well aware of the difficulties of being a professor and it's a long term commitment which is quite unlikely to happen etc. A childhood dream like I said, being a researcher, assistent or working in academia in general also interested me a lot

Hey,

I used to work at a work place with a bunch of perks, WFH 3 days/week, very flexible hours, office chair at home, no one would bat an eye if you'd leave office at 3 PM, my colleagues were all agreeable (I'm still in touch with them), we had AC in our building, my boss never made an issue out of holidays etc. Everyone told me I was stupid to quit, yet, I have because I was very unhappy with the work itself. I felt like I was barely making any difference in the world and the field I was working in was way out of my expertise.

It's been a almost two months since I started working at the place of my dreams; everyone is impressed when I tell them what I do, but I'm starting to realize that I had gotten used to the advantages of my previous work place and start to miss it - how do I shake off this feeling? I was miserable back there and worked my butt off to get to the place where I am and I know 10000% that I would regret returning to my previous work place. But still, I feel like I'm longing for my toxic ex and judge myself for it.

Weird question, I know.

I recently started a new job (yay), where I have to show up at work every day. I put on a nice dress on my first day and wore that exact same dress again the next day, because it wasn't dirty and I hadn't showered yet. I've noticed everyone wearing a new outfit and I started to feel odd. Back in my old job I didn't care as much since I only had to show up twice at work and I could walk around in my pj's at home, but now that I actually have to go to the office and see people from Monday to Friday I started wondering what you're supposed to do with your clothes if they're not dirty yet. Under normal circumstances I would've worn this dress one more day and put it in the basket to wash it once I've got plenty, but I'm considering wearing something new every day - but what about the clothes that I haven't worn out yet? Do I put it aside, put it back in my closet, throw it in the machine anyway (even though it's not very sustainable and economical to wash frequently?). Is wearing the same clothes (excluding underwear of course) considered dirty?

Interested to read your reactions!
