Survival tips for working with other timezones

Hi bitches!

I work as a PM in a big tech company and a huge part of my team and stakeholders is in Asia. I love them! But, lord, the odd hours are slowly killing me... 7:30AM calls. 9PM calls. The several messages that were sent while I was asleep and that need a response before the other person goes to sleep. Plus the regular hour calls due to the US part of the team.

Yes, I know the hours also suck for them. Unfortunately, changing jobs or saying no to late night meetings is not a possibility for me.

Even though I take breaks during the day for gym and errands, I feel like the whole day is revolving around my job, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep.

If you have a similar situation: how are you organizing your life? Any advice besides setting boundaries or quitting?

... help!

why is dating in the bay so awful now

i know it's been bad for AWHILE. i haven't been in a serious long term relationship since end of 2022

i'm born and raised in the bay and have been here most of my life. i guess it could be bc i'm older now (30), but i feel like it's been god awful for awhile now. i don't meet people as often, and when i do (IRL no apps), they will act like they're interested and then ghost or come up with some stupid emotional unavailability a couple weeks in

i feel like men weren't as bad before but now i feel like all i'm dealing with is god awful men... i know there are some other dating posts in this sub, so apologies for the redundancy

i'm feeling super discouraged and bummed out. i'd essentially mostly opted out of dating because it's dangerous for women and becausethe options are horrible i'd honestly rather be alone. but every once in awhile, i'm only human and want companionship and to be planning a life with someone

Yesterday I asked for affordable hair stylist recs

And now I’m lowkey getting cooked by people reminding me that brokies like me don’t deserve cute stylish affordable haircuts lol

Thx I guess bitches. Sorry I offended any hair stylists that charge over $100 for a pixie cut.

EDIT; thank you for restoring my faith bitches <3 :)

Where do you all have gym memberships?

Started going to Solidcore and am currently on their 2 week unlimited trial plan. Want to continue Solidcore as much as I can for the next month or so ahead of my wedding.
But wondering if I should switch to class pass instead of getting a Solidcore membership?
I just moved to SF and all the memberships up here are $$$ 😩 and post-wedding I’d like to check out other yoga/pilates/fitness studios but I’m not sure how many class pass credits the average class costs!
I’m in SOMA/mission bay if that changes your suggestion at all.
Thanks in advance!!

Does anyone have any good recommendation on where I can go to get pierced? I want to get a few done so anywhere affordable is a huge help!

I'm also open to go to Oakland or Berkley if the recommendation is solid :)

Best zippered tote bag for bitches that commute with their laptop?

I have to bring my laptop occasionally when I commute, and I would love a tote that closes, is durable, looks professional, has good support and pockets, but not so huge that it looks like a boat on my shoulder.

I really love Kolo totes, but they’re not zippered. I was maybe looking at Madewell? But not sure if they will age well.

Edit: Beis seems to be the winner, but we’ll see when I try it out. Thank you, tasteful bitches!

Self-care ideas / peaceful spots to go while grieving miscarriage (tw)

I’m relatively new to the city and unfortunately just went through a miscarriage. Feeling depressed and lost. Would love ideas of places to go for self care or just peaceful places while I’m processing everything. I was thinking of going to the beach, getting a massage once my body is a little better. Any ideas welcome. Sorry if not a good place to ask this / if it’s a weird ask

Out of Work Temporarily

Edit:

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for being kind. The sf Reddit took down my posts and were not very nice to me at all, so I appreciate you letting this post stay here.

Hi SFBWT!

The restaurant I manage is going to be closing for 6-8 weeks or so, meaning I am going to be out of work for that period of time.

I am looking to make some money to ease the pain of this sudden loss of work.

The tricky thing is that I have a 1 year old and would have to pay for a babysitter who is only available in the evenings after 4, so looking for flexible ways I can make some extra money, gigs, or random odd jobs or events or babysitting (especially if I can bring my son)

I am skilled in a variety of things, but the last 8 years I’ve managed a fine dining restaurant including running large events. I also used to nanny. I don’t have a car but can travel anywhere in the city.

Thanks for helping this mama in advance!! Trying not to freak out currently 🙃🥲😩

budget sunnies

Hiya B's! Where are we getting *ahem affordable* sunnies UV400? I used to yearn for direct sunlight but I'm getting fried. Walking outside is now an obstacle course set to Blinding Lights byThe Weeknd. Filters for windows have been ordered bc even w shades that sun is hitting direct and my sliding mirror doors on the closet are making it worse. Pls b's the madness has to end. Preferably w pocket money leftover for ice cream szn.

Good restaurants to break up nicely with your situationship?

Exactly what the title says. Basically the opposite of a first date spot. Looking for a balance between nice but not too expensive (definitely splitting the bill), with decent food but not amazing so that if the conversation goes badly I’ll be bummed that I can never eat there again. Ideally someplace crowded enough to talk openly without people eavesdropping but not somewhere trendy that we’ll have a long wait for food or a table. Open to East Bay spots as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

who do you trust for a GOOD facial with extractions?

My skin is currently giving “stress, neglect, and bad decisions”. I need someone to power wash my pores! Who are you going to that actually leaves you glowing instead of just relaxed.
