Got a PIP today... part of me beating myself up and part of me feels like a weight is off my shoulder ... any advice? 

de Blaiso says we’re on track to hit orange zone of restrictions post Thanksgiving which means no more indoor dining among other things.

The metric they are using is % positivity rate.

My question is this - is this a fair metric and if not what is a better metric to compare if it’s getting worse and we need social controls?

I only got tested when I traveled out of state for wedding and thought I was at a high(er) risk for exposure. Tested positive but I was already expecting that. (Contd)

Does Deloitte offer any fitness fund reimbursement and if so, how much is it? Can we purchase home office equipment with it? Would I be able to get stuff reimbursed this calendar year (my start date is Nov. 8th)?

Anyone have any ideas for our next speaker? I was thinking nutritionalist or dietician. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

I hate when people give themselves an OCD diagnosis, or say things like “I’m so OCD sometimes”. It is an actual struggle living with it. Organizing books by color does not make you OCD. think>speak

1- If you got the 🐒🦠 vaccine I am happy for you, but remember that most people don’t have access to it right now, so when you post your selfies on Instagram it makes people feel bad; 2- people with husbands/in a relationship, it would be helpful if you could wait to get your vaccines. Some of us are single/dating. I just saw some “hubbies” on social media who posted they got vaccinated and doesn’t seem right to me. Kthxbye.

Any recs on good counselor in Schaumburg/Arlington area??

I am a fitness and wellness oriented person. I enjoy taking care of myself and I do enjoy working out. I try to stick to things I enjoy and have fun doing. However, I am struggling now to commit to exercising. I even went down to just doing a walk outside and doing strength training in my rec room 1x-2x a week… and I’ve unable to do that.
Anyone else experience this? Any idea on how to feel excited and energized about working out?

I'm curious, has anyone ever called the suicide prevention numbers? What was your experience?

I started taking Adderal, 2.5 g which is not really a lot. It didn’t really help with my focus, instead I felt restless and somehow nervous and really thirsty. And it made me clench my teeth. I do grind my teeth during nighttime but never experienced this in the daytime. Does it take time to get used to it?

Waiting to get a COVID test right now, it’s been two hours and counting and they expect another hour wait. They also can’t tell me how many tests they have left and whether there will be any left by the time I’m up. Before I attempted this, I didn’t know testing is still such a disaster..

I just booked my venue for October 2022. I am very excited but want to lose weight to be comfortable on my wedding day. I put on some weight during the pandemic and I am about 40lbs over my comfort weight. Anyone follow a plan that worked for them?

Is it legal/ethical/normal for a firm to take out a life insurance policy on an employee it finds out has been battling serious health issues (and has the employee reluctantly sign a consent to it)?

Always felt like my peloton bike wasn’t calibrated well but after moving homes the issue is much worse. Now using my parents bike while traveling here for the month and very easily PRing way above previous PRs, better hitting target ranges, and also feeling like I’m getting an overall better workout. Any recommendations? Worth trying to recalibrate?

How do you react when you’ve helped someone get a job v. When you reach out to them and they won’t help you? Happened to me so many times as a creative.

I'm tired. You ever get tired of playing "the game"?

LADIES. If you think it’s necessary to SQUAT over the toilet at work, PLEASE for the love of god don’t leave your pee all over the damn seat.

Dear agency,

Hiring people from “diverse backgrounds “ will do nothing to position you as “cultural experts” when your leadership team is still comprised of overpaid, undereducated basics.

Do less.

I'm both relieved and very bummed that my agency isn't throwing a holiday party.
