I’m really bored. I started seeing a therapist a long time ago and they were helpful but I got bored and started using the sessions to play mind games with the therapist. I genuinely enjoy the intellectual stimulation lol

I’m moving and need to get a new mattress, single guy, mid 20s, sleep on my stomach, doesn’t have any pain but I loveeee sleeping and will pay for a nice, comfortable mattress. Thanks

Am I the only one questioning how BEC has the highest pass rate? It’s all over the place and there’s so much stuff to memorize! Is anyone taking any supplements to help with focus or overall brain power?

I have been WFH ever since Covid hit. Which I love! ( I do miss the social part of it tho). But I feel ever since then, I became SUPER lazy. (Not with my work) I live in NYC. When I needed to go to the office, I would wake up at 5am, go to the gym, take the train, go to work, come home, cook, spend time with my daughter and help with HW and spend time with my husband. Do it all over the next day. Now my energy is SUPER low. Stopped working out too. Anyone here could share their WFH Routine?

Nothing like a good dose of anxiety just because your afraid you will less something up soon. Happy Friday!

Was anyone else here considered an "essential worker" during 2020? I feel like I'm still recovering from that year!

Any suggestions for good running shoes?

I had my first dental cleaning in two years yesterday. Hygienist tugged at a spot back on my wisdom tooth and out popped a huge piece of tartar. She asked if I wanted to see it and I said no and almost passed out. Don’t skip those dentist appointments my fellow 🐠 .

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Tested positive. Can I go out if I quarantine and don’t have any symptoms for the next 2 weeks?

I am 34.5 and have been TTC for 1.5 years. Failed one cycle of timed intercourse and one natural cycle IUI. At this point, considering IVF- there were no major issues when got tested by RE. Had a microadenoma and have been on medication since. Husband’s count and motility came back normal but morphology was a bit low. RE said low morphology does not matter much. Any advice before going to IVF? Thank you in advance

Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

It looks like I may clear conflicts about a week before I'm scheduled to take a vacation at my current firm. I was told by my current firm that I won't be able to get coverage for all my matters and will likely need to be available to work for a few hours a day during this vacation. How should I handle this? Is it inevitable that I'll have to work during my vacation right before I quit or is there a way to avoid it?

So does the bloating ever end? 🤣

Also, a more serious question. Was anyone here eating at a caloric deficit before they got pregnant? If so, at what point did you stop? My first appt isn’t for another a few weeks and I’m curious. I know weight gain isn’t crucial until 2nd trimester, but I’m curious about weight loss now. I know some people tend to be sick for a lot of their 1st trimstester and end up losing weight anyway. 🤔

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.

I just noticed I can see my spine when I bend over. I’m well within normal weight (115-120ish; F; 30; 5’3”) Is this normal?

Are people including information on COVID protocols on their wedding websites for Summer/Fall 2022 weddings? I’m getting married Sept 2022 and I’m unsure whether to put a note about COVID on our website since it’s still so far out. Are others including info about potential protocols? If so, would you mind sharing what you have on your website (or whatever other kind of information source you’re using for your guests)? Thank you!

Hi Folks. Recently moved to Toronto. Would you have recommendations for dentists in the downtown area ? or a way to find recommendations/reviews for dentists around me? Looking to do a routine checkup/cleaning..

Did anyone make the jump to financial due diligence? If so what do you love/hate about it and what skills were the most important when first starting?

@optum How many leave are there in a year

Any BDO Executive Assistants or Operations Analysts on here? Thoughts on the company.

Ordered some Arnold Palmer by Puma swag and it’s pretty choice. Umbrella shorts will be a frequent go the rest of the summer.

What to expect when the interview is only 30 mins?

Question: so towards the end of the interview, I asked the interviewers "so I notice you have both been here for over 14 years, why have you guys stayed here for so long?"

Is that rude? My main reason was I wanted to see what it would be like being at this company. I don't want to job hop from one company to another company. But that could have sounded negative.

How long does it usually take Microsoft to review resumes and reach out for an interview/screening call? I applied to two roles on 7/18 and they both still stay in review.

Sent a follow up email today asking for updates a week after my final interview - didn’t get a response right away… obviously I need to be more patient, but how long is too long to wait for a response to your follow up email?

What’s dress code looking like in the V10 these days? Incoming first year that’s had some *bodily changes* during COVID that’s wondering whether new suits are necessary? I currently have two that fit decently…considering picking up two more if folks are dressed up most days they’re in. Thanks all!

How much are you supposed to tip tattoo artists? And just saying...if tattoo artists get tipped why don’t artists like freelance designers get tipped? Both are technically providing a service.

Hi , is there someone who can refer me for an open position?

Still feel like I'm in love with my ex it's been 2 years. I don't think I'll ever find anyone better - things were not all great but when they were i felt like i was in the clouds. He's moved on and..

For those who settled for someone who wasn’t the one, why did you do it?

I signed a new lease in a management apartment building 2 months ago. My rent on paper is $3000. I logged into rentcafe yesterday and the building manager seems to have logged in my rent as $2700. I am not sure if it is a mistake and if I should notify her. The $300 bonus a month does sound nice but also don’t want to get into trouble? Thoughts?

Have anybody recently done OINP? Had some questions around what employer documents are needed and what support do we need from employer. This is for foreign worker stream with a job offer. Please dm in case able to help

When do you stop interviewing after getting a verbal offer that you verbally accepted (it may not be the dream job but checks right boxes—comp, benefits, good company), but you haven’t received the formal offer letter? Two other companies want to move me forward in the interview process. I already told one that I’ve received an offer and they are trying to move up an interview with the hiring manager. The other knew I was expecting an offer and just asked if I can do a 2nd interview this week.

Thoughts on working for healthcare clients? Is it a dead end?

Any copywriters in Miami wanna partner up and make some ads?

If it weren't for dating apps, I'd probably be a 35 year old virgin.

I'm 27 and I do not have my driver's license. Do you think people will look down on me for this?

I’m still in love with my ex bf (we broke up more than 3 years ago). I’ve been with other guys and it’s just not the same and I am actively trying to give another guy a chance rn. My ex and I saw each other recently and all the feelings are still there, but there’s pride in the mix as well as both of us not wanting to be hurt again. I need to move on… it’s overdue. But how?! Is he really the love of my life?

People at work take themselves way too seriously. Everyone needs to lighten up a little

I'm in an exit interview over email and they're asking me the name of the company I'm going to (and it's a competitor). I probably don't want to tell them that because they'd probably dismiss immediately, so what do I say?

Does anyone else ever wake up from a nap with the deep burning rage of a thousand suns? If yes how do you calm tf down ☠️

Huge main character vibes after shopping at Trader Joe’s, driving with the windows down, and music boppin

Is it racist for a black fan to be upset (comment on their photo) that their favorite black celebrity has chosen a white girlfriend? "Are there no black ladies available".
Two friends feel differently - one says the black fan is racist towards the white gf and the other says the fan is ignorant but not racist. What do you think? Please explain your stand. Thanks!

My confession is that I actually hate Target (I’m 27F). They got cute shit but it’s all overpriced and the quality is more often than not pretty terrible.

How is everyone’s day going? 🤙🏻

Horny and thinking of reaching out to my ex who I haven’t spoken to in 4 years

I deleted work emails from my phone and I’m dreading what’s waiting for me tomorrow am. 😬

This is a shot in the dark, anyone wanna trip on shrooms in the park this weekend? Thinking rock creek park or somewhere cool - DMV folks.

I’m so tired with work and need a break + new-ish to the area, just wanna trip, walk, and talk about life. 21M if you must know

If your associates look like shit, I’m blacklisting you as a potential employer. If your people can’t meet their basic needs, especially while making bank, it’s a bad sign.

At-home urine drug test question:

I have taken a couple of tests, and in both instances, it showed a very faint line in the Test region, but the line was visible nonetheless.

Does it mean I’m good to go for the actual test, i.e. regardless of how faint or dark the line is?
