If have no restrictions to save economy is on one end of spectrum while total quarantine to save lives from covid is on end of other spectrum, where’s the middle ground?
This question has been on my mind for weeks. Time to crowdsource this IMO

when you get the vaccine are you good for life? Or do we have to get these every year like the flu shot?

I have body image issues. I dropped 32lbs and when I see myself in the mirror I don’t see any difference. Everybody tells me how great I look, but for me there’s absolutely no difference.

Hi Friends,
Me and my girlfriend both live in the same city, working from home, living with our respective families.

Before covid and wfh, we were in gurgaon and we used to go to each other's places to have some "private time"

It looks like a distant luxury now.
Any ideas of what can be done? Anyone facing a similar issue who got any resolution?

Recommendations for good reads during pregnancy please?

Do you go see your parents when they are getting surgery?
I've never been afraid of surgery before and my dad's had a bunch (from military). He lives a few states away but I usually get to see him quite often. He's only in his 40s and my mom is with him. The surgery he's about to have is considered high risk. I'm not worried or anything, but it's it customary to go see them when they're having a major surgery? He'll be in-patient for at least a week. Sounds I go after and help my mom? WWYD?

Hi Cognians, I'm new to cognizant

I don't think Biden has had covid again and rebounded from it. Given the recent string of public gaffes/apparent cognitive decline/incoherence etc I think his team came up with this covid stuff to keep him out of the public eye for some time. For how long though remains to be seen

Lately I have been struggling with anxiety. I am now getting panic attacks. A lot of it stems from school. Any tips? I am in the process of getting a therapist. I also purchased otc meds to help

I got admitted to hospital since I was unwell. How can I apply for cashless medical claims as I downloaded one form from general medical insurance plan. Can someone suggest me

There seems to be this consensus that there will be a market correction in the next 6 months. While I don’t doubt that the market is overvalued, I’m also expecting the vaccine rollout to accelerate and the Biden stimulus plan. So macro wise, seems like the market should continue to go up in the short term. Why do you think otherwise?

Need a pep talk! I've gotten into the habit of snacking/eating out of boredom or when procrastinating, so I decided to mentally hit reset and do a monk fast today (36hrs, not my first one). I'm soooo hungry though 😭 trying to stay strong

Work resolutions for the new year? I can’t go on like this working so long, with so much stress for so little. What can I do to make it better, day by day?

I found the D.C. Mayors Vaccine Website unhelpful, so was able to easily book an appointment directly through Walgreens. I haven’t been notified that I’m eligible by my D.C. registration yet, despite the fact that I should be. Will I need a code or anything for my appointment, or can I just go? I don’t really get the point of registering on the D.C. website, feels like an extra hoop to jump through.

Torn between immediately being a hoe or wanting to first get my body back in shape post COVID isolation.

Does our MBA resume have to list all post undergrad work experience? I graduated in 2013 and am having trouble getting everything to fit on one page along with my education and “additional” sections. I have all full time work from 2015-present listed, is that enough? 2013-2015 was part time work teaching English abroad. Also, do people tend to tailor their resume for each school? Thanks!

I am tired of other team members not pulling their weight and having to deal with more things that on my plate. Any solution? I don’t want to snitch to the partners but am really getting sick of it

Have any of you ever had a really persistent eye twitch? I’m sure it has something to do with the 10 hours of screen time a day and dehydration and caffeine and alcohol but it’s been going on for months and my anxiety is telling me I’m about to have a brain aneurism. fml

What would you do? A few months ago, small coffee shop opened in our neighborhood - we don’t have a coffee shop around us so this is HUGE. However, the coffee (cold brew and drip) is horrible. Should we tell the employees? (Contin in comments)

Anyone in Los Angeles gotten a COVID test with quick turnaround?

Hi everyone! My little sister is Disney-obsessed, and she very much wants to go to Club 33 in Disneyland. She has a rare disease and is severely disabled (using a wheelchair), and also has learning disabilities. She has a very tough daily life and I just want to do what I can to make her happy. I am reaching to see if anyone knows a way or a contact that could help her visit Club 33. Probably unrealistic but pls dm if you do!

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?
