How have you dealt with 20-something y/o roommates/SOs that claim they are “smart” about Covid despite partying in groups every weekend? Asking for a friend.

Not engage whenever they talked about covid. My roommate would go hang out in big groups in peoples apartments and then complain about people not wearing masks when we would go pick up food or to the grocery. I never replied to her because I didn’t want to get in an argument about it if I shared my opinion. She stopped complaining eventually. This was in May.

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such. He's a friend and really great." And I'm sure he IS really great, but I love my dentist and don't feel a need to switch. But my brother has already told his friend to expect me.

Not to mention- when I brought this to my principals attention he said I might have to take Covid leave. Covid leave only lasts so long- correct? The. What do I do?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job.

I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
