I find one of my clients breathtakingly gorgeous. I'm married so would never act on it, but it's noticeable enough to impact my behavior. I.e. this person doesn't have a ton of budget to spend with me, but I find myself going out of my way to help them because just wow

Good looks are the biggest advantage a person can have. A shame I'm ugly as hell.

I find this endearing and dangerous. Make sure you aren't perceived as crossing any lines. You may be unconsciously flirting which can come back to bite you.

If you were not married, would you act on it

Oh absolutely. Before I fell in love with my partner I was very direct... I'd never let an opportunity like this go. This person is a single parent as well, and I love kids. Wouldn't hesitate if I was single

Hey Now....

I'm curious. Does your client know of their good looks. Do your clients peers know? And do people treat them drastically differently?

I had a client that is a 9 or 10 among 3s and 4s. Client had a very powerful presence because of that. Was also actually good performer besides just good looks. But I feel like the good looks was a double edge sword for them as many would attribute their position due to the looks which diminishes their work.

I also have a managing partner that is good looks. Everyone in our practice knows and agrees. I think both genders are actually enamored. Even had some clients specifically ask for this partner.

In my case both genders are in my examples.

Is this a woman or man op ? I’m guessing a woman because of the way you mention a single parent situation . Usually women frown on that for men

My boss in my creative agency threatened to fire me because I, a male, came into work with my nails painted.

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords.

I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

The old administrator at my department won't allow me to write on what I want, even though I thought that was implicit when I joined. Can I push her to allow me to take control of my research?
