Anyone know where to get free covid testing near west loop with fast turnaround time for results?

Tricare Q:

Vets using Tricare with a family. I’m out and can use Tricare with the VA, but my wife and I each use our company offerings for our family; which obviously come at cost. Is it worth it to switch to Tricare? Has anyone done this and can share details? Positives/negatives?

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!

Just completed a 1 hour night run for mental clarity (6.8 miles)

Are people continuing to work if they have the symptoms of COVID-19 but not yet bad enough to be hospitalized? Curious how accommodating firms are being on that front.

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

Any medical transcriptionists in Canada? Wondering about the job propects and reality of the job itself. Thanks!

My manager scheduled a feedback conversation and I know it's bc I've made some noticeable mistakes lately due to moving too fast, not being able to focus, racing thoughts, etc. I'm seeing a therapist about whether I have ADHD and if so, what tx looks like; we started the intake process which will be continued in my 2nd appointment, which is after the feedback convo meeting. Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?

Keto strips recommendations? Other testing approach recommendations? Thanks! (Day 2 closing up!)

I work out a lot a lot (5 days a week) and in shape but I still don’t have the insta gays body - do a lot of them use supplements to get there? Anyone with experience doing it naturally can tell me what was the “aha” moment in your workout journey to get the perfect bod?

Philly fishbowl happy hour after Covid???

Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

For those maxing out their HSA, how many of you are using it on health expenses v saving it, and why?

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

Hi I have offers on both gavs and broadridge on which gavs is giving me higher package. Which one should I choose

What length of vacation do you usually take? I’m a big fan of taking many 4 day weekends (instead of 1 or 2 longer vacays) but apparently those aren’t encouraged in the Big Law world?

Favorite recent/current pharma campaigns? Either DTC or HCP. Looking for some inspiration!

Looking for some mental health advice - I’ve been dealing with pretty debilitating anxiety/panic attacks for over 5 years. Finally started to get some help for it through medication, however the first 3 meds my PCP prescribed me (ssris) didn’t work. Because I haven’t deal with the anxiety it’s gotten really bad. Do I go to a pyscitatrist whose trained more in pharma or start with therapist. Have done therapy in past without much help.

Partners, what is your advice to folks who are currently on bench on how to best utilize their time and what value add activities (personal/professional) that they can/should do.

Hi guys , I m working in American express from dec 2017 joined as customer service associate moved to their credit operation as a collection agent, currently at 6lpa , can anyone recommend me any better oportunity or any course that shall do to shape a better career and packages, response appreciated

With everyone seeming to be “hiring” I’ve had job interviews with various firms: EY, Plante Moran, Doren Mayhew, Rehmann, to name a few..
Apparently I just suck at interviewing, or the firms in my area are not hiring. 🤦

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Recently accepted an offer for a manager in Bizops in Ad sales for a tech firm. Curious about the growth opportunities in this area. What do folks do after 2-3 years in such roles ?

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

Looking to go back to school for software engineering any tips?

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Can someone walk me through a provision

Taking AUD this week, any suggestions?

CA shutting down prometric, just received an email that my December date is going to be canceled.

I’ve created this bowl to discuss sobriety

6 years sober here. I’m 33 and live in NYC. If anyone is curious about sobriety or wants to hear my story - read on!

Hey everyone. Happy to come across this bowl. I got sober in the pandemic so it was a relatively easy transition due to the lack of temptation or pressure to partake in social gatherings. For those of you who have been sober longer and also have an active social life, do you have tips on the transition? Did you seek out new friends or just change the way you hung out with existing ones

Nothing used to make me happier than my end of work cocktail on Friday evening. I’ve been replacing it with soda for the last few months but that’s getting old / isn’t an exciting way to mark the transition to weekend. What do you drink on Friday nights?

Hey I’ll. I’ve decided to take the leap into sobriety. Something that my upbringing and career will make difficult, but at this time it’s my only path forward if I want to keep my family and job. How do you all get through work events being sober?

Been doing the alcohol experiment, on day 26. Hosted a family for dinner- my kids were awful and my husband was super stressed running the grill. Our guests brought my favorite Rose and it took everything in me not to have some. I still feel it 😞
