I miss my pre-2020 life sometimes. Even going into the office. Right now, it just feels like I live at work and it seems like it will be that way forever. 😔

Yeah and I also miss social interaction and making new friends, while also looking cute

The social isolation has been difficult for a lot of us. And I’m an introvert.

I miss going out and not having to worry about catching COVID.

Don’t miss it at all. How much time, and effort have we all spent on going somewhere to do something, that can be done anywhere.

Remote work, needs much more division of work and life, and conscious action to log off.

I used to always complain about having to go into the office, but now I miss it. I miss the social interactions, the banter and the small talk.

I miss wearing pants, the click clack of work shoes and strolling down CBD in a suit.
I miss skiving off in the morning to go for a cheeky coffee break with 3 or 4 work buddies - the friends you have after work drinks with, but won't see otherwise.
I miss goofing off in the office with office chair races, sneakily setting up a game console and mini TV in the break room or wheeling each other around in the rubbish bins while our secretaries stared at us, wondering how we ever passed the bar.

I just want to go back to the office 3 days a week, be silly, bounce ideas off people with stupid questions and muck around.

I really miss it too.

Treat work like it’s a chore you have to do around the house. Live your life, don’t let work be your most time consuming activity. It’s just something you have to get done at some point during the day, while you do your other tasks, like cook, clean, relax on your patio.

I’m convinced the people who hate work from home just aren’t doing it right and haven’t adjusted.

In terms of social interaction, work should not be your number one source, let alone a source for friends. Make some friends with people you can hang out with, not people you work with.

Yeah, that must be really tough. I am sorry to hear that and it explains your responses a little better. I hope you’re able to find some happiness despite your pain.

I don’t miss going into the office as much as I miss being social and seeing people. I changed jobs in December, so I’ve never met the majority of my team or colleagues in person.

Are you permitted to go into your office? I’m always surprised how many people are showing up just to be somewhere else.

Sadly we are virtual - only for the foreseeable future!

I would suggest having a thread or threads about defending socialism against capitalism.

First year trainee here. Having the standard wobbles but generally surviving.

My question is - how can I tell if I'm doing well? More specifically, what common and avoidable mistakes (specific or general) do trainees make, and what attitude or actions impress you?

Recently overheard some associates complaining about another trainee and now I have the fear... I want to get this right. Thanks in advance.

I'm a 25y male in a 3y relationship with a 24y female. For the past couple of years her libido have gone down by a lot, she said that she doesn't know why, already have went to some gynecologists and none come with any solutions.
We had this talk and she said that she doesn't feel desire, the times we do sex she said she do bc I started but after that she enjoy (She never starts)
Have anyone had similar experiences and overcome that? We really have few sex relations and this bothers me a little

Gift giving help: every year around this time my husband brings up his Jan bday and basically demands I spend a lot of $ on him. I find this stressful. I don’t do big lavish gifts but each year I feel pressure to or he won’t be happy. When I say this he immediately launches into “haven’t I done this for you, bought that for you”. “If you loved me you would”. His entitlement and manipulation make me feel super resentful and removes the fun of celebrating him. FWIW we earn the same. What to do?
