Apartment lease ending soon. Been living here for a year with my roommate who is a nurse. When my firm started WFH in mid-March, she got transferred to the COVID unit. I was fortunate enough to move home to parents to ride this out and give her space. We get along well as roommates and I’ve been rooting for her everyday. I want to move back to the city and resign our apartment but I am worried about my health given preexisting condition. I’m thinking about solutions, but I feel very selfish.

What is selfish here?

like

I guess one solution involves not resigning and moving out. Would be tough because our original plan was to resign. Feels weird to think about things like that when she’s working so hard and risking her own health

Not selfish at all, I would stay with my parents as long as possible for safety and financial reasons

Agreed, but 7 weeks + however many left is certainly a lot for a large family. Four working professionals and two college students / gamers. It’s a zoo. I think the most bizarre part is coordinating important meetings not only with clients and coworkers, but with my own family haha

They may have to take an antibodies test, if they test positive for antibodies you may be good to go

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
