What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Other than meeting up w a friend at the park every 3ish weeks, I’ve taken social distancing seriously since Covid started ~8 months ago. However, I don’t have a family or partner & am starting to really miss social interactions, esp on weekends. Should I grab a drink by myself at an outdoor bar tonight?

Has anybody else experienced (what seems like) irreversible physical damage from working long hours? I worked about a month of 19 hour days 2 years ago (this was the peak of the season where I worked at least 12 hours a day) and my facial skin hasn't really recovered and the experience really aged me.

Came across a good journaling prompt that I wanted to share for anyone who also has anxiety. Maybe you guys can build below and/or add more helpful prompts that work for you too.
PROMPT:
“My anxiety is telling me to feel ____” (face and call out your fears and anxieties)
“But the reality of the scenario is ____” (ground yourself with the reality of the situation and remind yourself that the world isn’t burning down - fingers crossed 😉)

FRM average salary through uhaul

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.

I swear gov Cuomo is really surfacing as an amazing leader during this crisis.

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Let's say through a combination of aggressive saving, high income, and savvy investments, I manage to save several million by the time I'm 40.

Do people think working remotely will remove some gender bias in the work place? Or impact people’s perceptions of women colleagues?

I work on a team that is 95% H1b (it’s really just me and 1 other on a team that’s 20+). The client has a few topics that are restricted to US citizens on US soil only. There’s a few team members that are visibly (not recently because it’s virtual) upset when asked to leave the room for these discussions to take place. Why would they get so offended?

This debate would be a lot more watchable if the moderator can press the mute button on each of the candidate.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

My firm paid merit increases to most employees, except me and one other individual (amongst the few people who shared this information). Therefore, this is not a company wide policy. Do I have any right in this case? It was paid out last Friday. Can companies legally do that?

Looking for ergonomic office chair recommendations, budget is $500. Any suggestions?
