Is there anyone who had COVID and were able to get back to their normal fitness levels? I wanna stay hopeful that my lungs will be able to handle running just a mile.

What are your thoughts on cutting off all people I’ve met on dating apps and starting fresh? Because of coronavirus I never went on dates with any of them, but text/snap daily even though my interest is low due to not being able to physically see them.

Since the start of the pandemic, I have been fairly safe and really haven’t gone anywhere (I think I went to TJ Maxx once in a moment of weakness lol). My family on the other hand hasn’t taken any precautions and actually did contract COVID. They keep telling me I’m paranoid and need to start going out but with COVID being worse now than it was back in March, I rather just not. I just want them off my back and wish they would respect my decision to not expose myself like I respected them.

Ideas for team bonding activity in COVID? We just wrapped up a project and usually we’d go out for a dinner together but that’s not happening under COVID. What has worked for your team?

Currently in M&A tax. I do a lot of cross-functional PMO work and I’m looking to leave and get my MBA due to reduced earning potential from COVID & I’ve seen the work Dev. Ops / management does and I’m a lot more interested in that than in tax. 2.5years at uncle D, no CPA(halfway done). Should I finish out the CPA and apply for MBA later? Should I just try and get into dev ops without an mba/CPA? Or is my earning potential a lot less without it?

There is often little vision or actual critical need behind using this authority other than quick and easy hiring, and in my opinion, unnecessarily increasing the size of the federal workforce.
