Good morning and Happy Monday 🤍 How are you ladies getting workouts in since all the gyms are closed? I’m looking for 10 women who would be interested in doing a fitness program with me. Workouts are more fun with other people 💜 I would love for you to join me and we can do the program together. https://www.teambeachbody.com/shop/d/BODStandalone?referringRepID=2457456

Anyone wake up feeling like they having a quarter life crisis every two years? Woke up yesterday feeling young and wanting to go out; woke up today wanting to have a kid 🙄 wtf is going on? Normal?

Does anyone use blue light glasses? Do they help? I get headaches almost every day and I’m sure it’s because I’m glued to the screen all day. Wondering how to alleviate them without popping 4 ibuprofens a day.

Tips for desk research heavy projects (lots of reading, processing and synthesising information): how do you do it? Are certain meds better/worse? Modafinil feels better for reading and processing info but stimulants better for focus and executing tasks.

Looking at the City of Chicago phase 3 guidelines for residential buildings and it says gyms should remain closed, but amenities can open (not pools) with limited hours and occupancy

Has anyone undergone laser treatment for acne scars on the face? Are you happy with the results? How much did it cost?

Laser, threading, shaving or waxing? My pain tolerance is low 😅

Wanting to start therapy for social anxiety/depression but no idea where to start. Those that see a therapist, how often do you usually go? Ball park price range? Has anyone tried online therapists?

I had a panic attack in a meeting today. I had no idea what to do and I feel like the others could tell something was wrong but it kept going. If you've had this, what do you do?

Do you think recreational cannabis will be legalized in Texas within the next 2-3 years?

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

I had an interview last week and waiting is raising my anxiety. I am on anxiety medications and it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know why I am getting anxious as I already know I can not control the

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...

Does anyone have success conceiving with low AMH? I am 30 yo and my AMH is 1.11, RE says it's low for my age.

Just got another negative test. I'm so lost. How do I handle the monthly roller coaster of emotions? Hope, disappointment on repeat. 😔

Does anyone have a list of the things (food, drink, other OTC meds) that make adderall less effective? I know I can simple google search and ask my doctor but want to hear other peoples thoughts…I love drinking my coffee to wake me up in the morning but I’m afraid it’s making my meds less bc of its acidic nature 😵

PwC 🐠 - health insurance coverage. What are the deductibles for the high-deductible plans? Still want to use the HSA. Thanks!

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game." It seems like Ripple, Monero, Gnosis, and Golem are the ones worth being in outside of the "big 3" (not MBB). I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?

Anyone participating in DADI coin crowd sale? Why yes / no?

What’s causing this dip?

When Coinbase announces that they custody ~10% of all the BTC that will ever be… 😳

I wanna be distracted from .. whatever admin work I am doing now. How was everyone’s day?

“I feel like I’m the stupidest person here”
“You are not stupid. You literally work at one of the top consulting firms in the world”
“I literally got a 6% in one exam during undergrad”
“Well damn I guess you are stupid”

I excited to a 🦄 earlier this year. Not sure if I was lowballed on salary or not. Interested to hear other people’s comp at comparable companies. I’m a Growth Manager. Please dm!

Hi ,

I have 5 years of experience as a .NET Full stack developer. I am holding offer of 21 LPA and I had HR discussion with Mastercard.

HR is not ready to share the exact budget they have (weird!! because HR usually give the idea of how much they can offer )

HR is asking me to expect something on top of the current offer I am holding.

The opening is for L8. How much offer I should expect from mastercard??

What skills must one build upon to pivot from Investment team at a PortCo of a mega fund (>$300 Bn), to investment team at a PE?

Would genuinely appreciate some advise as I start this new role at the PortCo from next month. TIA 🙏

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

Hi fishes,
What Package can i ask to L&T for Data Engineer with 3 years experience. Having 12.5 offer in hand.

Your response is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone , I’m trying to build an email template with cross objects. I know that doesn’t work but is there a work around?

I’m feeling stagnant in my career and looking for ways to grow. I was considering obtaining a PMP certification and wondering how impactful this is. Is this certification well recognized?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Went to a severe non-target for undergrad. Most of my colleagues have 3 degrees from elite institutions. Is it worth it to get an MBA from H/S/W for some added credibility? McK will likely pay but $350K in forgone salary seems enormous. 740 GMAT

Hi fishes,

I got 2 offers, one from @informatica

and other from 7-11. Informatica CTC: 13.5 Fixed + 1.25 variable+ $6500 RSU's

7-11 CTC: 16.6 + 3 lakhs (joining bonus).

Given there is not a lot difference b/ w the two. I wanted a little insight to which one is good.

7-11 asking me to come to office, while that's not the case with informatica.

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

I’m having a bad day I took a personal day because last week haven’t been feeling the best and then all my coworkers where talking bad to about me when I was wasn’t there I only found out because my teacher texted me asking why I lied to her. It’s own of your business why I took off

I just had a tough day any self care tips.

Hello all!
So, I am very excited to finally have a real opportunity to connect with you all about self-care.

With the new “Live Conversation” feature on Fishbowl, we can now host conversations quicker and easier than before.

For the first conversation, I’d love to have an opportunity to introduce ourselves, then share with you my stance on the importance of teacher self-care.

Please join me in 15 minutes for “It Starts with You.”

How do you deal with finding out that a student died of covid? How do you process it?

How do you plan to care for yourself this week?

Is anyone else crashing hard today? It’s almost 5pm and I haven’t left my bedroom. My kids are fending for themselves and a little confused about why I haven’t come out. Is it depression or am I just burned out? I switched to middle school after the 4th week of school. Some of my students are so disrespectful and even cruel. Do I need to quit my job or do I just need some r and r?

It has taken me well over a week and a half to feel like a human again this break. 3 days left and I feel simultaneously like I’m getting shorted and grateful that I had the time to have my breakdown off-the-clock. When do you go back and are you feeling ready?

SNOW day = self nurturing our wellness day
I couldn't go anywhere or do anything soooooooooo I over enjoyed my self care routine today. When do you find time to love on yourself?

I truly wish people could understand the emotional damage hoaxes, social media ploys, and ill-intended jokes have on others. It is a deafening feeling when schools become places of survival. Wishing faculty, staff, and students everywhere a safe and peaceful rest of the school year.

How many of you have experienced or know of any teachers who have gotten the Coronavirus at work?
