inMy roommate said the quiet part out loud about our campus free speech wall and now I can't unhear it
Went through this with a friend last year and what helped was asking her questions instead of arguing. Like I just said huh, what did the chalk actually say, and she ended up hearing herself out loud. Kept it chill, no fight, and she actually walked it back a bit after.

inShowerthought: general contractors keep saying you need a huge web budget, but a plain one page site got me 14 calls last month
$600 for a one pager is a steal compared to $250 a month forever, so the math alone makes sense. Curious how you're tracking those 14 calls though, since the notebook part caught my eye. Do you ask every single caller point blank how they found you, or just the ones who seem chatty? And of the 14 a month, how many actually turn into booked jobs versus tire kickers? That ratio is the part nobody ever talks about when they brag on cheap sites.

inA recruiter at a job fair in Dayton told me to take my master's degree off my resume, and I still think about it
The part people skip is what happens AFTER you dumb down your resume. You get the $16 front desk job, sure. Then six months in, they hand you the schedule for the whole office because you're clearly the sharpest one there. Now you're doing manager work for front desk pay and you can never bring up the degree, because you lied about who you are. I've watched two friends do this exact thing. Both ended up job hunting again within a year, and now they have a gap to explain on top of it. Taking the master's off doesn't get you the job, it just gets you stuck in a smaller box.
