OMG! This has so been me this Winter Break. I had things scripted out that I was going to accomplish. Ummmm, nope! Six days down with the stomach flu...now the daughter and hubz are down with it. I'm still zero energy. Good time to spend some family time together, but sure didn't want everyone to get sick to make that happen! So....how has your Winter Break been?

Has anyone tried using Kratom to help with an addiction to opiates? Does Kratom itself get addictive if you start using it for a while?

I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

Best places to work out near Mar Vista? E.g., boxing, Ji Jitsu, anything, etc. (exc. traditional gyms like Equinox)

Just completed my last shift in the ICU. I'm glad to be shifting back to the Maternatity ward. It was exhausting, and emotionally draining working with such sick patients. I know the work we did made a big difference, but I'm glad to go back to my favorite role!

Where does everyone work out? Are you following a specific program or do you do your same routine from week to week?

To the struggling healthcare student. It’s okay to struggle and not know stuff. Sincerely your friendly neighborhood physical therapist.

Does anyone know what vaccinations are looking like? Where to get them and when they’ll be available?

Hi All,
Just want your suggestion on this to help me decide.

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

Has anyone done an online DrPh while working full time? If so- was it manageable? Would love to chat with you about your experience :)

Has anyone relocated their pet from India to australia

Hi friends, happy new year! Wondering if anyone else is finding it slow in the freelance world (agency production specifically) right now? I usually get hit up constantly but it’s been pretty quiet the past two weeks or so.

I was in the office (pre-c19) on the Friday after thanksgiving so I could get some stuff done while it was empty. A peer Director was also there and asked me for help with something. I helped him a for while, then he said, “this is really helpful, I have to go to an all team meeting for 30 minutes, but could we finish after that?” Me: “an all team meeting today?” Him: “yeah, I always schedule an all team meeting on days like this so people can’t pretend to wfh when they are really on pto.” smh 🤦‍♂️

Anyone work for Kraken? If so what are some pros/cons about the company? I work financial crime investigations, and had a recruiter reach out about a law enforcement production job. Opinions on salary, PTO, and other benefits would be helpful!

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

I'm fat now and I wasn't fat in March what happened

What would you say are the best combination of skills for software engineering now?

Does anyone have any advice for a junior C++ engineer. Or do companies generally don't hire a specific language. You just have to take on whatever code work is available. Are you specifically hired for a particular tech in your company? Or most of the time you just end up not doing it at all?

What makes you want to learn yet another programming framework / library / language besides the stack at work?
