Well I worked and got appreciated by the client , always exceeded expectations on clients side (have thank you's and appreciation on mail) . My rating is 3 stating "aapko ek hi saal hua h". Got opportunity for a global meeting to attend in Europe but my PM destroyed that opportunity for me. Past 3 days haven't worked a bit ,felt disappointed and am feeling depressed, it would have been my first abroad visit and the Visa is going to haunt me for the rest of my life.

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I get that money is tight. But if you deny all diagnostic tests, please don’t get mad at me when we can’t figure out what’s wrong. Those tests are there for a reason.

How does this work? I desperately need an accountability partner

Anyone else need to study for technical interviews? I'm planning on interviewing in the late fall/early winter.

Studying 2 hours on weekdays, 4 hours on weekends. Also going to be networking and looking for places to apply on the weekends.

I want to lose 20 pounds (starting at 165). I did really good for the month of July but now I’m losing steam. Any suggestions?

How are y'all enforcing accountability?! I got a 'buddy' that is ready to work with me. But wondering how is it working with everyone.
Do y'all just message for check-ins or send motivational quotes or something else?

In December, my goal is to
- lose 5 lbs.
- lose 1 inch from my waistline.

This is part of a broader goal to lose 45 lbs overall.

I will have a weekly update on my progress.

Really need an accountability partner for a few things below:
1. Wake up at 5:30
2. Exercise everyday for at least a half hour
3. Eat more home-made balanced & nutritious meals & less takeout
4. Lose 8lbs
5. Meditate or journal every day

Current weight - 121lbs.
Desired weight - 112(like always)
Mood - tired & grumpy during the day cos of no sleep, bad sleep, bad food choices
Focus & productivity - absolutely failing cos of the above

Anyone interested? I can support you in your goals.

Welcome! The purpose of this bowl is simple: keep posters accountable for the tasks they would like to have completed.

Step 1: Create a post regarding a goal you want to accomplish. Make it as (non)descriptive as you desire.
Step 2: Provide weekly update regarding the goal until it’s completed.

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.

Plan: 1) Meditate am/pm 2) exercise 60 minutes every day 3) Loose 5 lbs every month. I think this is very doable 4) reach out to 5 clients per day. Any takers
