For those with spouses or family members who feel differently about COVID, what do you do? My husband and I have been on the same page up until now with the Delta variant.

My parents are extremely judgmental when my spouse and I do essentially anything, yet went to in person church for the past 18 months. We just dont tell them about our social plans and since we’re adults its fairly easy.

My spouse and I are mostly on the same page. Pre-vax, I wanted to drive to national parks and she didnt feel safe enough. Post vax, I want to go other countries but she wants to stay domestic.

I think going to the safer spouse’s risk tolerance is the best bet, and have calm conversations on what would need to change for you both to agree to a higher level of activity

I was one of the big firm stealth layoffs in covid and joined a boutique firm in Sept.

The people at the small firm are so nice, but hours are nuts and if I’m going to work this much, I might as well get paid more, right? Is it too soon? How do you tell them when the managing partner took you under his wing?

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day.

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
