Something on your mind? Chat about it here. If your approach to frigid temperatures is to clear your social calendar and curl up with a good book (or the TV remote), I highly recommend these super soft throws from Brookstone. It's my go-to gift when I hear that a sick friend has a lengthy recovery ahead of them — it's ridiculously soft, machine washable, and just generally amazing. I actually prefer this to the cashmere throws I've had over the years! It's $39.99 at Brookstone, but if you order two you get the second one 50% off.

  1. Has anyone ever bought a shoe stretcher? I have feet shaped like inverted triangles and something bunion-ish on the left foot, and usually need to take shoes to be stretched — but then realized I could just buy a stretcher on Amazon. Could it be the fulfillment of all my hopes and dreams? If I could figure out how to use it, it would be worth the $45.

    I tried that water-in-baggies trick in the freezer and I guess it stretched them a bit, but not enough.

    Many thanks in advance!

  3. I am starting job hunting soon and I face myself with a dilemma – I know I will be asked the “What’s been your greatest challenge” etc type questions; any suggestions what to say when one of the main reasons you’re wanting to find a new job is the utter lack of meaningful challenges in your current job for the past several years?

    1. Search the archives here. Also go to Ask a manager dot org and do the same. Similarly articulate & thoughtful commenters on both sites.

  4. Maybe a long shot, especially this late in the weekend, but does anyone have a sense of salary ranges for industry outreach/technology transfer positions in higher education? This would be at a private institution in a very HCOL area.

    Thanks ladies!!
