Hi guys,
I am currently on notice period and my LWD is Sep 2, 2022. Today, I got an offer from state street mentioning my joining date as Sep 12, 2022 even though I already told HR that I would like to join from Sep 5 itself. How can I convince HR to prepone my joining date to Sep 5, 2022. I don't want to lose my one week salary guys. Pls suggest. State Street
Saw this on Etsy the other day and loved it!

I’m diagnosed OCD and this is the one time in our lives that my husband is grateful for it because it has meant that everything that comes in our home is as near disinfected as humanly possible. He’s already used to me making him wash his hands a million times so most of my other “ticks” are in line with what he’s used to. Just remember that if this is hard for you it’s a million times harder for the person with the OVD. I suggest you try to find the silver lining...
I (27F) was diagnosed about 7 years ago, but think I have had it most of my life.
Quarantine has been a double edged sword for me. I feel ~*a lot*~ better, but only because my OCD tends to be around checking themes like leaving the house with the stove or faucet on. I’ve been talking with my therapist during all this, and I’m mainly concerned that I’ll have more issues when this is over and I have to really test myself with my biggest exposures again (traveling for work, leaving my place for days at a time)
My partner is very understanding and compassionate, but I refuse to involve her in my compulsions. If she thinks I’m doing something weird or I’m acting strangely, I just tell her it’s my OCD and I’m trying to just let it pass, and we can talk about it once the acute stress is over. Then again, this is me in a relatively stable place in my illness - if this pandemic had happened a year ago, it may be an entirely different story.
I have been thinking a lot about people who struggle with the contamination themes...my heart goes out to them and their partners. OCD can be absolute hell.
