Trying a sober weekday challenge. I know a lot of people doing this in their normal lives now, just making a point to not drink Sun-Thurs

Also congratulations!!

I showed up early, ordered a non alcoholic beer (can also pass a seltzer with lime off a cocktail) and then said it was a “one drink night” for me because i had to work later. Worked pretty well!

Are you close enough to them where you can just say you’re trying to conceive? Alcohol isn’t great for fertility so you could say you’re avoiding it while trying.

Tell them you’re on an antibiotic (amoxycillin because you just had your gums deep cleaned) and you can’t drink on it. Happened to me last week lol. (Like you could get sick if you drink while on it)

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

Anyone successfully take STD or extended long term disability for final IVF procedure? I’d like to take 6 months, Destress before hand then go into extraction. Docs say if this doesn’t work they recommend I move onto other options so I want to give it a fair shot. My clinic will fill out fMLA / medical forms but not sure who ultimately decides the duration. Should I also consider other mental health leave alternatives? Thank you!

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

One of my out of state REs is suggesting that birth control for three weeks before having starting a cycle.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Unable to get the bonus percentage... please provide some information regarding this.
Written 14% below bonus amount, but I am not sure, this 14% is of which amount??
