Of course it’s common. When you spend 18 hrs a day stuck in an office the field gets smaller

Yeah, it’s not uncommon. Especially in an industry where heavy drinking is pretty common as well...

Yes. It’s common - and in my experience and that of friends and associates often doesn’t end as terribly as everyone says (although, obviously, it’s never a “safe” or even particularly smart idea)

I did, with someone on my team. We currently live together. It was great, and then awkward for a bit, and then great again once I left the job.

In my dept, no, but in my agency twice.

Sorry @op. Hope it’s over for you soon 🖤

I’ve done it. Not gonna lie, I breathed a sigh of relief when he left the agency a few months later.

Do you feel explicitly femme / butch / futch / stud ? I feel like I’m not femme or butch and I’d be more butch personality wise in a relationship but definitely more of a futch / soft butch physically? Getting a better handle on this might make me better able to find the right folks for me, dating wise... I know some people are super strict about their “type”

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.
