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.

Sell Shopify or hold? Already 14% down today after the vaccine news. Will it recover?

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.

Anyone know the NYC laws about taking time off to go to rehab? I need time off to go to treatment or at least focus on sobriety full-time, but don’t want to lose my job. Does FMLA cover this?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

Do HRs renegotiate at KGS after accepting offer?

Need to quit my firm. Who’s got local projects?

How are you guys expanding your teams exposure with TCJA. I’m trying to transition the ATI calc for 163(j) and there were definitely no volunteers. I’m thinking lunch and learns on the topics would be helpful. Any thoughts 🤷🏻‍♂️

Are Chevy Tahoe‘s/Suburbans and GMC Yukon‘s worth the price tag? Some of the upper level trims look sexy, but are the engine/drivetrains/transmission reliable?

I’m comparing this to a Lexus GX, Toyota Sequoia, Nissan Armada

Had 4 rounds of great interviews for a internal HC consulting sr mgr role at tech Org. Final/5th round was a presentation and I felt it didn’t go well because I followed instructions and created a solid strategy that was based on evidence and best practices from what other orgs are doing - exactly what the case asked but based on their questions it seemed they wanted some high in the sky creative ideas. Should I let it be or email them with some ideas while reminding them that I wanted to

Welcome!!! I hope this bowl is a welcoming and safe place for all school based SLPs to share our daily struggles and triumphs and a resource to ask for practical advice.

Do you think the changes in parents options for schooling: pods, private, home-schooling, virtual will open the way for private providers to hold a case-load of school age students, beyond just PK?

Any Cali SLP’s in the house (bowl)?

Are there any other “Type B” SLP’s out there?

Ready for winter break?

Boom cards. Worth the investment?

What is your school district’s reopening plan?

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Anyone got vaccination shots yet. I got my first one of the Pfizer vaccine on Friday. I have only had one side effect. Very tired!

So my district’s school board just met, still no plan or direction. Staff goes back Monday 😕. Honestly I can believe I am part of something like this

Should we actually start posting our rates and salaries?? I work for stepping stones group, I was recruited under a travel contract and they tried to renege. My current offer is for 62/ hour but direct service only aka I only get paid if I’m with kids/ Medicaid billing.

Sup my Speechies? How’s break?

Is your district providing SLP’s PPE or are you responsible for supplying your own? I have heard a ton about teachers and feel that we are being lumped in with them. Districts are not recognizing that we are health care professionals working in an academic environment. We are at much higher risk do to the nature of our work.

We have a couple of new members. Where are you all from?
