First COVID-19 diagnosis in someone I know personally and I only found out after a passed away. Friend of my husband. He was at our wedding last year and got married himself barely six months ago.

I feel like i want to be done with the human race. Before COViD I truly liked people, my work, and I had good friendships and hobbies.

Now, I just want to turn my back on my career, as pros in my field are never trusted or valued. I’ve lost interest in hanging out with people other than my GF and my dogs. So much entitlement in people today.

I’ve just had earth shaking levels of disappointment in life. Two divorces. Five of my close friends and my favorite dog have died in the last two years.

Can you get out of an apartment lease due to COVID-19?

I am a recently naturalized US citizen. I had Global Entry based on my green card and I read that I need to get an appointment to to get my file updated in the GOES/TTP system at an enrollment center. Problem is, I don’t see a way to set up this kind of appointment? Anyone have any experience with this? I saw threads online Pre-COVID where people just walked in but the office closest to me strictly says no to walk-ins.

If people took COVID as seriously as they do CDIFF- they would wear masks! LOL

Did you tell you colleagues when you had covid? Or only HR and boss?
I just found out that I’m positive and am working from home. Not sure what to do next. Symptoms for now are a sore throat since yesterday.

How would MBB treat a rising sixth year PhD Candidate who already accepted a job offer at one of their firms but would like to leave with a Master's degree to avoid spending several more years in their program (COVID messed their thesis project up)? Would they be forced to enter at the undergrad level or would the offer be pulled entirely? Asking for a friend.

Have Q2 earnings been priced in to current stock prices given the coronavirus or will it fall even more once actual financials are revealed? Particularly for Travel and Leisure stocks. Thoughts?

What does the job market look like now that Covid has become our reality? Are ad agencies overall still hurting or are they starting to hire again?

Did anyone get a 4th COVID vaccine during pregnancy? I already have 3 from pre-pregnancy but I feel hesitant about the next booster since I’m pregnant. I’m due in Nov which is ultimate germ season so I can see why it would be good but equally I don’t feel as comfortable having it pregnant. I also caught COVID in June for the first time so 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone think covid 19 could penetrate a static warp shell?

Has anyone got the vaccine for covid? I am eligible to get it but not able to find an appointment for it.
Has anyone got an appointment using NYC covid finder or any website? Thanks

Customer : you should be getting on your hands and knees like a dog to beg for my business

I can’t forget about a guy I met 2 years ago and wanted to date him. We we friendly and had some chemistry, but I was afraid to break the friendship having only known him for like 1 month. Then Covid came, we started losing contact and he moved to the other side of the country. I believe he has a girlfriend now, and I even dated someone for a couple months, but I still can’t get over him.

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

Pros and Cons of a large agency vs. small < 100 people?

Compliance doesn’t interest me like it used to and Partnership tax experience alone really limits exit opportunities.

Anyone in here who made the jump from full-time design work to freelance? I’m having difficulty with the expectations of a full-time agency employee (basically living for work instead of the reverse) as well as the inevitable problems that arise as a black woman just existing in the workplace.
