Paxlovid is a great drug in the fight against Covid but this metallic taste is making it hard to drink coffee and I need my coffee!

Hi friends - need a suggestion. My mother got critically ill due to Covid and has been in the hospital in India for over a month with added complications. Hospital charges are through the roof and it is a long road ahead of us. Are there financial aids, options available to explore to meet the expenses? We are salaried people and parents are retired. We are exploring loan options and wanted to check with this group for other creative ways to manage. Thanks a lot for the help!

Anyone feeling the sting of COVID-19 and the Russian/Saudi flooding of the market with oil? Yikes.

I have an employee who has been out on Mat leave since beginning of October. She is scheduled to come back beginning of Jan. Today I received an email from our employee asking if she can work the following schedule for the month of Jan: two week 3 days on, two off and then another two 2 days on, 3 off. This is due to COVID and not wanting to put the child in daycare (which I totally get). Not being in a situation like this before, how do I respond?

How many of you have post covid symptoms still persisting?

Hey everyone! I need some advice. I’ve accepted an offer for a new job, but I’m in a bit of a rush to get out of the position I’m working right now. I start the new job July 18. My job now doesn’t care about their employees, and it’s a health risk for my family and I due to unsafe COVID policies (i.e. forcing you to come in even if you’re sick, making you use PTO for COVID even if working from home, etc). Is there anything short term I can do until July? Or should I stay until then?

Does anyone else just not even want to leave their home because of the Coronavirus? I live in a metropolitan area and can’t help but feel anxiety.

Is the filing due date for form 8842 election to use option 1 or 2 for annualized estimates included in the coronavirus relief? It is typicalkybdue 4/15 of the year so hoping it can be filed before 7/15. I can't seem to find anything concrete.

I am a 7th year in a new role. My on boarding has been spotty due to workload/covid and I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m going to have to learn my new role independently and sink or swim. In the meantime, how do I know if my performance is acceptable when my supervising partner has no time for me, is always annoyed at everyone, and is a generally snippy? I know I shouldn’t rely so much on supervisor feedback, but I had a horrible blindsiding experience early in my career...

Any good insights on people towards the COVID-19 vaccine?

I have been an RDH for 30 years. Looking to transition to something different with better pay. Since COVID the dental field has suffered a mass exodus in my area. Short staffed, overworked & under paid. Newbies are offered same pay rate + sign on bonus due to lack of applicants. Job is too physically demanding after 30 years. I have a BS in Dental Hygiene Science with a specialty in medically compromised patients. Any suggestions?

Has your firm told you to work from home due to COVID-19?
Like for Yes, comment for No

And….it’s starting. Out of town client dinner this week, client dinner next week, team breakfast next week (would have been a team dinner, but conflict with client dinner). Covid was bad for a lot of things, but it was good for allowing me time to work out and spend evenings with my family. I already miss the WLB I’m about to lose.

I’m finally ready to get back into dating, but all of my closest friends have moved out of town for work, school, or military, so I’m having a hard time going out and meeting new people! I’ve tried dating apps but I’m just not interested and would rather meet someone in “the real world.” This whole COVID thing is also really wrecking what little of my social life I have left. Any tips for meeting new people during a pandemic? Working long hours and weekends also doesn’t help...

How have kids yours or someone else's embarrassed you or their parents?
- we were meeting a friend of mine and their kids at a social gathering, pre covid. We ask my friend's daughter what's her name. She responds and rattles off her name and her mom's name and her dad's name. And goes on to introduce us to her mom's boobs. Rofl. Says these are my mom's boobs.

Someone asked me to describe the coolest project I’ve ever been on. My mind went blank. Was fully staffed on something fairly ho-hum when the rest of my firm was doing Covid strategy... before that, developing business cases...

I have a computer science degree and was originally recruited in to Cloud under the impression I would work on automation or similar but two years on I am still only doing administrative work and handling a very niche off the shelf app

I'd like to offer some 🔆:

Keep going. Keep fighting. Keep trying things out. Keep taking your meds. Keep asking questions. Keep going...

It gets so much better. I promise. It's worth it.

Whenever I send out an email to recruiters with the slightest amount of nuance or personality, only to be met with a no response, I feel like the biggest ass hole in the world. It's like that quiet embarrassment you feel when tripping over yourself in a crowded place and noticing no one cared or noticed.

This bowl has helped me through my own mental health journey, and I hope it’s been beneficial to you, too.
