I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions. I don’t really consider myself “his” client bc the relationship is managed by the gym… but lately he keeps saying like “I can’t wait to see what my clients give me for Christmas” and I find it super awkward. I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…

Anyone considered quitting this life and becoming a stay-home stock trader? I think I’m getting there 🙋🏽‍♂️

Hello, Can anyone share the real world process of sales pipeline in the IT company and process of acquiring new customer?

Something has been bothering me for a long time and I want to get it off my chest.

My firm does upward feedback and I asked about 10 of my team to participate so that I could be a better supervisor for them. My results: I got mostly great feedback with constructive points, however along with it I received the meanest, most cold hearted criticism I’ve ever seen (con’t in comments).

I rearrange my home office several times a year. Idk why but every 4 months I need to change it up. Anyone else do this?

Mom went back to home country and I’ve been moping around holding back tears all day! Tell me it’s gonna be ok, I miss my mom 😭😭

I hate going to the Apple Store nowadays.

How strong is your impostor syndrome on a scale of 1-10?

(10 being I feel like I'm a day away from being found out).

How was you memorial day weekend?

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I’m in a committed relationship and have realized I developed an elementary school level crush on a coworker. How do I kill the crush and maintain the friendship?

I have a flight tomorrow at 11PM. I can’t wait to get to the lounge at 5 and get HAMMERED with all that free booze. Hope I’m not denied boarding

Ahhh my hairline is beginning to recede! I’m too young for this!!!!

Does anyone remember limewire and Morpheus days. My computer had so many stds from downloading all those music files

Cant wait until baseball disappears forever. Boring, perfomance-enhancing sus af 69inning havinazz sleeping pill of a sport; the most boringazz sport in the history of exxxistence itself. Shiets like big pharma, putting the whole of humanity to zzzzzz good god I hope god deletes baseball even tho I dun believe god exists but truth is the real thing that shouldn't exist is baseball fuk

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I am finally going to see a therapist for my depression and suicidal thoughts. Alot of bad things happened to me the past 2 years and I just can't handle it anymore. Just wanted to get it off my chest.

I cut my own hair

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

Ladies, sometimes we like our hair pulled a little too

Please help me rationalize through something:
2 kidneys but can only give 1 (potentially):

1) Cousin: 36, mom of 2, lives a fairly healthy lifestyle
2) Dad: 60-65 YO; kidney failure runs in the family, lives an unhealthy lifestyle but this is dad…

What should I be considering in thinking through how to decide? What factors would you think about?

P.S. will go through screening process for both but just want to start thinking about things now
