You won't find what you aren't looking for, and when you're, instead, burying your head in the sand, the issues you're hiding from will eventually come back to haunt you. Just, instead of something small and manageable, it will be something much more vicious.
This principle, while incredibly important for our own personal health, applies to business interests, too. And the two go hand in hand when it comes to employee stress and burnout that might come from burning the candle at both ends for too long, or otherwise from understaffing or personal issues.
In a world where rest is a reward and not a right. We have a tendency to deprive our bodies and our minds of the rest that they rightfully need and deserve, and run ourselves ragged in the name of a promotion that we might never see.
This employee was told to stop discussing burnout in their 1-on-1s and even received a write-up for bringing it up too frequently. Their requests for help were used against them, being cited as reasons for the write-up.
It's unwise for employers to react to employees' cries for help in this way, for one, it opens the employer up to risk of claims of retaliation and unfair dismissal. For another, well, it doesn't make the burnout, or whatever underlying issue there is, go away, and it will leave it to continue to fester until it becomes an even bigger problem for the organization and business operations.
23 Pictures of Cats Serving Comfort, Cuteness, and Cozy Loaf Energy
Oct. 29th, 2025 04:00 pmNothing captures pure feline perfection quite like a good cat loaf. With paws tucked neatly beneath and a calm, confident stare, it's the ultimate pose of peace and quiet contentment. Loafing isn't just a resting position. Ot's a whole mood, a sign that a kitty feels cozy, safe, and entirely in control of their little kingdom.
Some cats nail the art of loafing so precisely they look like freshly baked buns straight from the oven, while others prefer the "imperfectly perfect" style, with a paw or tail sneaking out for character. Either way, it's a masterclass in relaxation and warmth.
Cats have a special talent for finding the softest, warmest spots for their loafing sessions whether it's a blanket, a sunlit patch on the floor, or the exact middle of your laptop keyboard. Wherever they park themselves, they remind everyone that peace doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, happiness is just staying still, getting comfy, and loafing the day away like a pro.
Sometimes the Cat Distribution System knows exactly when to deliver, and three weeks ago, it brought pure perfection named Misty. On a regular morning, this sweet gray fluff decided her new hooman was the one. One leg rub, a few confident head bonks, and that was it. She had officially adopted her person. Despite her matted fur and tired eyes, Misty's heart was full of love from the very first moment.
Since arriving, she has been the calmest, most affectionate little cloud of joy, settling into her new home in no time. She is still figuring out the fun of toys, but she already loves her scratching boards and quiet cuddle sessions. At around seven years old, Misty has a few health hurdles ahead, yet she finally has the care and comfort she has always needed.
From the streets to soft blankets and gentle pets, Misty's story is a reminder that sometimes love finds you when you least expect it, and it looks a lot like a tiny gray cat with a big heart.
Good Morning Meows of Cat Memes for Pet Owners Running on Coffee and Cuddles (October 29, 2025)
Oct. 29th, 2025 02:00 pmGood morning, cat owners and enthusiasts of the world. When you're a humble cat owner, there's nothing more important that gets you out of bed other than your precious, fluffy, furry feline friend. You wake up not to the beeping of an alarm, but the soft nudges of your cute cat trying to get you out of your torpor slumber. From first meows of the day to having breakfast together, your cat isn't just a cat, he or she is your partner in the world as you move through the waking hours of the day. You pour your morning coffee and sit with your cat before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
As you sit at your mundane and monotonous day job, counting the hours till 5 pm, you think back to those waking hours with your kitty. What better way to remind yourself of your cute bundle of joy waiting for you at home other than a scroll through adorable, wholesome, and hilarious cat memes?
HOAs were created to help communities thrive. However, more times than not, the board becomes corrupt and ends up making the neighborhood a less than ideal place to live. Every now and then, though, you come across an HOA board that is actually honest and helpful. But how did it get to be so good? Usually, someone is there to make the board stays on track.
Like this family man! He loves his home and he wants to provide a great community for his family. So, when he could no longer tolerate an unjust HOA board, he took matters into his own hands. He ran for president and won. While in office, he got rid of all of the corrupt members, fixed all of the damage they did, and, after several years, made it a fully functioning, helpful, and honest HOA board. Now the community is thriving and all of his neighbor are grateful. However, not grateful enough to follow in his footsteps…
Every boy dreams of the day he'll receive a Porsche for his 16th birthday, but for most, that's all it is: a wishful dream. Unless, of course, you're the child of a lord, a duchess, or someone who invested in Bitcoin back in 2013. So it's no surprise that this teenage boy can't believe his luck when his dad tells him he'll be receiving his uncle's 1978 Porsche 911 as an early birthday gift.
However, there's a slight complication. His father never actually asked his car-enthusiast brother-in-law for permission to give away his $60,000 vintage Porsche. As you might expect, when Uncle Mark finds his nephew sitting in the driver's seat of his "baby," he completely loses it, demanding an explanation.
The brother-in-law insists the boy deserves the car for his birthday and that Mark can simply buy another one. First of all, most 16-year-olds deserve a tricycle, and second of all, who in their right mind thinks they have the authority to give away a $60,000 asset that doesn't even belong to them? Only someone who's clearly never heard the word "no." Furious over the entire situation, Uncle Mark doesn't find enough satisfaction in just kicking them out of his house, instead, he begins plotting a far more permanent revenge.

Oct. 29th, 2025 11:16 pmBoarding groups are a free-for-all on certain airlines. If you know the US airline I'm talking about, which is a well-known, points-happy airline that's known for its lack of assigned seats, you've probably had a scuffle much like the woman in this next story.
While boarding a flight with her husband, this couple was lined up and ready to get onto the plane with boarding group A, their assigned group. However, a Karen was sneakily trying to squeeze her way into the front, suspiciously glancing at her boarding pass and hoping she could get away with the pre-boarding group. When asked her boarding number by the couple, she became snide and offended, acting entitled to get out of sharing the truth: Her boarding pass was nowhere near group A's status.
So while I'm a huge advocate for assigned seats for this very reason, it does make for a funny story about calling out a person's entitlement. Because perhaps one day, if we call out the entitlement of enough Karens, they'll finally stop stomping on everyone around them—Here's hoping.
Last minute plans don't work out for everybody — some people have super busy lives, and they're going to need a few day's heads up before seeing someone.
Other people thrive on last-minute plans. They're happy to drop what they're doing and go hang out somewhere. Still, it's nice to have some warning so you can organize your schedule. This person is a bit irritated that their family members keep springing surprise visits on them, and it seems like the guilt is eating at them. They live right next door to their parents, so right away, that might be an issue in the long term. They then share that at the end of a long work day, they just want to hang out with their dogs, not talk to some long-lost aunt and uncle who have driven into town to see their parents.
However, some commenters chided them for the ways they've been avoiding their family members. They're lying about it, but then they're also taking their dog outside to play in the yard, so these far-away relatives might get hurt feelings after knowing this person is lying.
I don't think they're wrong for wanting some space, but maybe there's room for compromise. It couldn't hurt to say something like, "Oh, I only have 5 minutes before I have to take an important phone call, but it's nice to see you, Aunt and Uncle." That kind of white lie works for both parties! This person can say hello, then head off to do their own thing. They're also telling their parents that if they'd had more notice, they could've stayed longer, but oh well! Regardless of what they choose to do, it's their life, and they only have one lifetime to spend doing things they love. Whether they're spending time with family or with their dogs, they should do what will make for the best memories and the most happiness possible. Just because someone is family, doesn't make them obligated to have a ton of your time: some distant relatives can just stay distant.
Why is this family giving major Saltburn vibes?
This author thought that she and her husband's love could transcend their vastly different upbringings. Unfortunately, however, his family's elitism and pride ended up getting in the way not long after their wedding. When she spent a long weekend with his siblings, tensions rose to the surface pretty quickly when the author's sister-in-law began to mock the author's taste.
To make matters worse, one night, the author learned that the seemingly harmless nickname her husband's siblings had given her actually had harmful undertones. This resulted in an upsetting confrontation that the author rightfully couldn't get over. Furthermore, her husband turned out to be unable to stand up for his wife in the way that he 100% should have.
So, the author took matters into her own hands. That night, while her husband and his siblings were away, she swapped out the contents of an expensive bottle for a cheap one to see if her new family actually had the so-called refined sense of taste they claimed to possess. The results were laughable!
Getting a new pet is an arduous responsibility. It can be so easy to just see a kitten or puppy and think, "I want one!" But in reality, it's a lot of time, money, and effort to fully acclimate a new pet to your home, especially if you have a pet already. The story below centers around a new kitten freshly adopted. The kitten is so small and new, and the wholesome pet pawrent already owns a 3-year-old cat, as well as an overexcited doggo. The kitten hasn't gotten used to the other animals yet. Every time she sees the other cat, she starts hissing, and even tries to make herself look bigger. Out of desperation, the owner goes to the internet for advice.
When trying to merge animals, it's always best to get real life advice from people who did it right. Usually that means keeping them in completely separate spaces until they're better acclimated. But you'll have to read the full story below.

There are some things you absolutely cannot ask during a job interview, and if you are ever asked them, that is definitely not a place you should start working at.
These rules are there for the benefit of the candidate, but they also keep an employer mindful of treating everyone equally. For example, did you know that an interviewer is forbidden by law to ask you how old you are, what language you speak at home, or if you plan to start a family soon? If not, I'm glad that you're now enlightened, because these rules can be very important. It can keep a potential employer from thinking things like, "Oh, she's too old to do this job," or "I hope this guy isn't a father, because he's going to need to leave early all the time to help out with the kids." Nope, you cannot openly consider these things during the hiring process, and that makes the hiring process more equitable for everybody involved.
While interviewing for a senior role at a software company, this job candidate was stunned by a bizarre question asked by the interviewer. At least this person stopped in their tracks and called out the interviewer for thinking it was appropriate to ask such a question, adding that she seemed surprised that they wouldn't answer. This is very basic stuff, and anyone in a capacity to hire and fire should be well aware of the consequences of asking the wrong questions during interviews. Yikes! Let's hope she learned her lesson, and kudos to this person for refusing to settle and take a job that was a waving red flag.
Finding affordable housing as a student can be nearly impossible, depending on plenty of factors. That being said, no one should have to settle for a live-in landlady who is this demanding.
This entitled woman refused to allow the 18-year-old college student who authored this story the right to have an overnight visitor. What is this, the 1800s? The student wasn't even necessarily inviting a romantic partner home. It could have been a friend or a visiting family member. Regardless, her landlady was insistent that if the author wanted to remain in the apartment, she was not allowed to bring anyone home.
Mind you, none of this was expressly written out in the lease, so it's not like the student would be violating any previously agreed-upon rule. Still, when you're a college student living in your first apartment, you don't want to upset anyone. So, of course, it was difficult for the student to say no to their landlady and stand up for herself.
It's worth noting that there were other aspects of this author's living experience that opened up some discourse regarding how expensive her utilities were and who was the cause. Keep scrolling below for the full anecdote and for the conflicting reactions in the comments!
Cat rescues are amongst the most varied that there is. Sometimes a rescue can entail spending hours if not days attempting to coax a cat out of its shell so that it can be saved. While other times, like in this story, the saving can be done as simply as picking the cat up and cuddling it to your chest all the way home.
Which is exactly what happened when our heroic feline rescuer found a pregnant stray sitting in their local pub. And by the good grace of the Cat Distribution System this expecting cat mom was paired up with a seasoned cat pawrent who knew just what to do in order to help her and did so diligently and post-haste. Yet another wonderfully successful intervention of the CDS and a match that turly could not be achieve by any other creature on this planet. A truly wholesome and heartwarming thing to happen.
