Let's build some relational capacity in this bowl :)
How many years have you been teaching AVID and what do you enjoy most about it?
If you're new to AVID, what got you interested?

Do friends ever dump you onto your therapist or psychiatrist or dismiss your valid, normal feelings as “oh did you tell your doctor about this?” I feel like they’re just shitty friends delegating off.

Are any of you aware of good therapeutic schools for high school kids in the South Eastern US? Looking for a recommendation for a boy who has anxiety and ODD. Thank you.

Planning to freeze my eggs early 2021, how far in advance should I go off my birth control? (I’ve been on it for 9 years). Planning to stop permanently and hopefully conceive next year.

I left bedside nursing and the hospital 2 years ago. I don't feel guilty about it and honestly this pandemic
has convinced me to never return.

Any big law associates high risk for COVID nervous about going back to the office even after you’re vaccinated? I just don’t see how a firm can require 100% of people to vaccinate so nervous about the people I’d be around

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?
I am in therapy right now but just wanted to hear from someone who is also going through it

9/7: What are everyone’s plans for today?

For me- treadmill, chest and shoulders.

What’s the one strategy/technique/ritual that has worked the best for your mental health? (Even if that was not the intention of it)

Is a TRX sufficient for getting back into shape? I’ve definitely wasted these past two months but I probably won’t be going back to work until after July so I’ve got time to build a foundation once gyms open back up at a decent capacity

How do you deal with anxiety before a big presentation? I really struggle with this and want to get better.

Which health insurance your company providing?

Apologies for the awkward venue...but any one else struggling with addiction slash self destruction slash wtf am I doing in life?

Accidentally swallowed a small fish bone as part of a cut of my salmon tonight. It feels stuck in my throat. Any tips of dislodging it or will it go away on its own? Even willing to try some old wives remedies. Please advise. Thanks!

For those of you on medication, how do you manage delayed flights causing you to miss appointments? Often, cancellation policies are strict, expensive, and require several days notice.

Condo insurance recommendation?

Have had a couple of patients that have positive covid antibodies but their spouses don't. Please explain

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.

Lost 16-18lbs since WFH. I’m back down to 200lbs now. Hoping to hit ~185 and stay that way! Starting to see my abs again:) and I feel soooo much better.

PDM at Deloitte and recently told my current PM that I receive an offer to be on a different project and would like to rolloff my current project. They told me they have to check their WOA before they can confirm my last date. Is this a legit reason or something they made up just so I can’t leave?

What do you think about Retention Bonuses? Is it a good or a bad thing? Love to hear your thoughts on this.

I had 4 rounds of interviews with Microsoft recently. How many days will Microsoft take to share the result. Any idea?

What is the salary range of Manager in SAT division?

Needs some ideas for scenario planning optimizations! Currently have a model to predict conversions given media spend, I can adjust spend up and down to create different budget scenarios and send to model to get respective conversions. Thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

I have YOE : 9 yrs in Dynamics 365 and my current CTC is 28LPA.

I wish to get insight from the community whether the package is good or I lagging behind?

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Welcome to AVID

So you are interested in collaborating? I have been teaching Avid since 2006-ish. Any suggestions on how to transition to distance learning on Microsoft Teams? How does that look in Avid?
