Hey fishes, how would you spend your time on a rainy day with your girlfriend? A little paranoid about spending time in restaurants. Due to COVID, both of us live with our parents so we don’t have a place to be alone in. All we have is a car. Watch a movie? Be naughty? Board games? Just talk? Eat takeout? Please help!

Pre covid I worked in theater and event management. Obviously I’ve been out of work since then and I’ve been trying to get a job in project management since I do a lot of that with my current field. I’ve realized no one takes my resume or past career seriously since a lot don’t see theater as a transitional field. Would love any advice.

Has anyone noticed a shift in intern-personal skills with your teams the last few weeks? I feel like I’m mediating elementary school playground squabbles of late. People using harsh tones, people taking offensive to said tones .. people escalating because they don’t like the harsh tones or being accused of using harsh tones. When did harsh become normal? Is it the weather? COVID fatigue? I swear there isn’t enough wine some nights!

Hope everyone is doing well. As we get closer to the end of COVID, I’d like to welcome everyone to post on this thread if you are looking for a tennis buddy. Feel free to list your location and level.

My husband and I used to be very affectionate. We used to take at least 2 hrs everyday just to give each other emotional space. We would talk about what we’re feeling and why and so on. It used to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
But since we had a kid, all conversations are with a purpose. It’s either planning the next day, the next move, finances, etc. Amidst this, we lost focus on each other.

Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this and got back to their original selves?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
