The Defender
“Hi OP! Just want to chime in because of all the haters out there! You do you, honey. Having five glasses of wine at the end of a busy day is totally OK, five days in a row. Your work sounds rough, your boss is 100 percent nuts, and your coworker is obviously unqualified for that new role! People can be so quick to judge. Enjoy that Costco membership, sweetheart, and it’s awesome that your parents pay for it. At least you’re saving cash on getting those wine bottles in bulk.”
The Praiser
“Wow! I love that you went to Santa Fe with your friends for the weekend, and then managed to work a full day on Monday! You’re living your best life, even though that’s totally what having a typical job calls for! #goals”
The Planner
“Hi OP! Loved that you mentioned how obsessed you are with an Instant Pot, and I love what you do with all that couscous! But maybe you should be as forward thinking about your living situation as you are with meal prep. If you set aside some of that couscous money, you’ll probably have enough to pay off your student loans in six years.”
