Dated 2 colleagues (not at the same time). Was great for a bit. But 3x not so great when they didn't work out.

Avoid. Until you part ways. Some of my best friends are ex colleagues. That only really took off after they or I resigned / switched firm. Keep it professional at work

Is there any research saying young kids aren’t major covid asymptomatic spreaders? As more businesses open up, more kids are in day care. Young adults (millennials) are parents of kids. Kids are at family events and bbqs, but not at protests. Kids put things in their mouth and touch and jump on everything, very unaware. It seems convincing.

Spouse is a state department employee and currently overseas. I’m a manager with three years of experience in consulting and 8 years of experience in the military where I left as a O-3 (GS-12 equivalent). SO wants me to take a non-negotiable family member hire role at the embassy overseas for one year so we can co-locate. Job sounds interesting, but is a non-negotiable GS-6 equivalent. Family life would be great but am I derailing my career permanently? Can I explain this in the future?

She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll
