How does this end? I think we get herd immunity and open it up. The economy is tanking and folks are getting restless. Eventually this will be just like the flu. With us year round and we have to just deal with it.

Shoutout to my fellow immigrants who have to worry about their legal status on top of all their professional commitments. I feel like we don’t get the support we deserve sometimes, especially with all the Covid backlogs, and that can be very frustrating.

Sending everyone here good vibes. Good things are coming your way!

Really annoyed that during a majorly stressful campaign (for a client that quite frankly sucks lol) that in every meeting, forum etc Project Management isn’t EVER mentioned in the acknowledgements. I guess it’s normal but I guess since I almost lost my mind and had three anxiety attacks in one just one week alone I’m feeling salty. I can’t even begin to describe the mental, emotional and spiritual fortitude this took. Again I know I’m preaching to the choir, PM is such a thankless job but argh!

This is kinda weird but is anyone paranoid? I've been so paranoid lately. Like if I'm driving, I visualize me in a car crash. If my parents call, I get paranoid that they have bad news.

Anyone else?

Has anyone been on Lupron prior to an IVF cycle? Last one failed for unknown reasons but I also don’t have any evidence of endometriosis. Curious to get some second opinions.

I’m studying addiction psychology and I’m curious what treatments you all have personally found to be most effective (eg types of therapies, 12 step programs, rehabs, detoxes, spiritual practices etc)

I still cannot believe that the president has made light of wearing a mask and practicing Social Distancing.

We’re getting married next spring and trying to put together our website.
Many weddings we’re attending this year have some sort of Covid-disclaimer on them saying “please have a negative PCR test or be vaccinated beforehand” (paraphrasing), but it’s the honor system, no one is checking.
For 2022, is that type of language necessary? Vaccines will have been out 1 year. The state we are getting married won’t require it (southern state), it feels like it’s on the individual wedding to say (or not).

I drink to survive.

Men: what are some staple hygiene products that you would recommend?

Wife completed her 4th IVF cycle and none of the embryos made it to blast. We are moving on to sperm donor protocol. Wish us luck!

I always try to be cognizant of and combat my prejudices. I have the hardest time with looking down on people who are out of shape. Any similar experiences and ways to combat this?

I have been in my position for 27 years and have never seen such a state of affairs as I have this year (but then, with the pandemic, who has, right?) Well, long story short, we've gone hybrid (some in person, some online). The teacher has been out with surgeries and covid. I have been teaching both groups at the same time. Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

I feel like I want to kill myself often. I don’t know how to stop it. I’ve gone to therapy and taken medication but it doesn’t help

Any brand suggestions for collagen supplements? Searching for anything on amazon is so overwhelming these days!! TIA

Comp question: I’ve started recruiting for a few PE portco ops. It’s early in the process and one of the recruiters asked me about my expected comp. 1. Does anyone know what’s a reasonable reply? I have no idea what to ask for. Just under 4 YOE. Was thinking mid to high 100s. 2. Should I answer this question early on? Thank you!!! I read the other posts and comp reports but the numbers cited seemed a bit high.

I’m on week 3 of being without a job after not being hired back at my firm after articling. I’ve been speaking/networking to lawyers almost every day but I’m feeling pretty defeated already. I’m interested in commercial real estate/ development/ and infrastructure and construction law. Just feel like it’s going to be hard to get my foot in any door related to that after only articling.

I don't know what list I got on but I have been getting election texts and emails non-stop for over a month and I was really hoping these would end last Tuesday...however, with the runoff coming, I'm getting hit with more emails than ever. I've hit unsubscribe like a million times...

Starting to miss the days where Slack didn’t exist so that when I was out of the office it actually felt like I was out of the office. I silence my notifications but end up getting nervous and checking them anyway.

Why is everything stress-relief related all about yoga and meditation? Why can't it be sex, drugs (and rock n'roll)? :D

In all seriousness, what stress-management techniques really work for folks on here?
