Are people continuing their cleaning services during covid? How are you making sure it's "safe"?
My SO is in the high risk category plus he's Uber paranoid. We haven't had our cleaning person come in since Mar. Back then, I told my spouse I'm not doing it & he said he'd do it and I shouldn't call the cleaning person.
10 months fast fwd, he really hasn't done anything (I'm not surprised) and the house is a mess despite me cleaning from time to time.
Want to understand others handling this.

Talking about the impact of covid on family life is big in our community, but politics is strictly prohibited. Just the mention of covid when certain members are around and it turns to politics. Time to ban covid talk completely?

I've decided it's impossible to try and get my immigrant father to understand what I do as a transactional in-house lawyer. Every conversation about work goes like this (cont)

Covid Networking: How the hell do you do it? Now that it looks like we'll be WFH through 2021 or later in my city I realize I have to actually figure out how to network remotely. Any ideas? (Thinking more peer to peer than client development networking)

Do you think it matters if you and your SO’s friends are similar? My boyfriend and my backgrounds are very different and while we are fine with each other’s friends, I would never mesh our friend groups. A part of me always get envious of couples who are able to expand their friend groups and do fun things together

How long are people being positive with covid for?? I know some people that are symptom free for over 2-3 weeks but still coming back positive?? How is this possible?? Are they contagious? Most jobs suggest if your symptoms free for 10 days then you can go back to work...yet some of these people are still testing positive. Thoughts???

I'm going from working at a non IT industry to an IT firm. As an introvert I've faced a lot of difficulty in my career... Now since I'm also shifting to another industry completely, I'm feeling very insecure about my life at work. Please give me tips on how to make friends and be in the good books of the managers.

My mom thinks that I’m slowly going insane and wants to me go home and take a year break from work. I hate my job but I still take it way seriously than I should. Like if a client questions my results during a meeting, I get nauseous sometimes throw up after. Depression and anxiety can keep me up for weeks. Has anyone taken a break before? What did you do/ what do you suggest me to do? Not the best time to take a break (covid) but my insanity is on the line. Def switching jobs regardless

I'm 32 y/o. I moved to Union City (East Bay) during COVID, and I struggle to make new friends. Any recommendations on channels/platforms/volunteer progroms to make new friends?

We only have 1 car in HH, and my SO usually needs it for his job, which is a big bummer in making new friends I need to take into consideration.

To those with an anxious attachment style and have trust issues due to past childhood trauma you’re still healing from: How do you keep yourself from thinking your significant other is going to cheat on you when she/he goes to a party or out while you’re miles away? I’ve been in therapy to help, and trying to distract myself but my anxiety is keeping it from working and don’t want to put that pressure on him because I’m trying to work on it.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.

Any pawrents who live in a condo and have to leave the dog alone at home while at work (before COVID) does that really work?

I joined tcs few months before I got released from a development project because I couldn't complete training due to covid leaves.

Now RMG is FORCING me to join a Support project in which I'm not interested.

What to do, will they fire me if I don't accept that project? Or anyhow I have to accept that support project??

Any book recommendations for being a confident man? I grew up without a father and sometimes I feel like I’m lacking confidence or I let people trample over my ideas or I’m the only quiet one in a room. I don’t want to overreact and be seen as an “overly aggressive” person but I don’t want to be seen as “timid” either.

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

Where do you turn for mentorship if your workplace is toxic and you don’t have an obvious former colleague to turn to? Trying to help my friend navigate their career next steps but realize they don’t have a mentor, that’s something that’s been incredibly valuable for my career development. Where does an early 30s guy go to get some coaching?

I know this is a ridiculous question, but please humor me: can you flare your nostrils? My husband thinks it’s crazy that I can’t & thinks everyone is able to.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.
