Please help me rationalize through something:
2 kidneys but can only give 1 (potentially):

1) Cousin: 36, mom of 2, lives a fairly healthy lifestyle
2) Dad: 60-65 YO; kidney failure runs in the family, lives an unhealthy lifestyle but this is dad…

What should I be considering in thinking through how to decide? What factors would you think about?

P.S. will go through screening process for both but just want to start thinking about things now

I am preparing for my first trial! Very nervous but excited. All tips and suggestions welcomed please!

How do you deal with ADD and being able to clearly explain your ideas? Are meds the answer? Really don’t want to do that. Already in therapy. Plz help.

I was recently diagnosed with high functioning bipolar II disorder and was prescribed a mood stabilizer. I’m worried it may impact my creativity. Would anyone be open to sharing their experiences?

Can someone explain why alcohol is so debilitating on your health? I had a single drink and the next day at the gym I could feel that drink just wreaking havoc on my workout routine. Anyone have any tips on getting a balance?

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Any update on work from office in TCS? Are they still calling ? As no. of cases are increasing

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

Hi everyone, I’m seeking some advice - my dog (8yrs old) was attacked several months ago by another dog and after she became depressed and anxious. We got her anti depression meds and those seemed to help but how a lot now a lot of signs are pointing to a potential brain tumor. To get an MRI is +1k. My mom doesn’t want to spend money but it just hurts me so much to see the behavior - she walks around in constant circles, looks sad, seizures, hides under the bed. Any advice would be appreciated.

I need to take the booster but what would be an ideal.time? How did you guys schedule booster around treatments/twe/trying all that

Nearly killed me this morning leaving my fiancé at home after he was up all night with a stomach bug. Thankfully I’m local, but annoyed this proposal is keeping me away from helping him through this

Anyone on a statin (eg Crestor)? I’m 40/m and had elevated cholesterol last checkup. Rx Crestor and second opinion concurred. I’m still hesitant to start. I exercise, eat pretty well, don’t smoke, use alcohol. Asking for experiences not medical advice. Thanks!

Does anyone in this bowl travel? Where do you eat? I find it exhausting to research nutrition facts all the time, and end up eating at the same 2-3 places every week. :(

I am having an issue with my thighs rubbing together and now I have bumps dark spots etc.

If I’m just looking to slim down is the best thing to do at the gym run?

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

Seems that the vaccine that usually takes more than 10 years to develop, test for side effects and go through the regulation process is being very fast tracked to roll out - which is a super great thing to potentially eradicate the virus. on the other side of the spectrum, people with life sciences n healthcare insights, how reliable and safe would you say vaccine (being fast tracked) is...?

I’ve been getting really depressed out of nowhere. It’s not really related to anything that’s going on in my life. Is there something wrong with the chemicals in my brain or something? I’m taking vitamin B12 and D3 but they’re not really helping

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?

I have zero clue where to ask this question so I am going to try here - WHAT is with the tree at Daley Center Plaza near the NW corner of Dearborn and Washington that is always just absolutely covered in birds. Like thousands of birds. Does anyone else know what I am talking about or am I losing it?

So, who wants to vouch for me to Soho House?

Anyone from Accenture CN here? Need urgent help

Has anyone successfully sold your gently used clothing for cash on the spot anywhere in Chicagoland? If yes, where? Have a lot of nice stuff that I’m bored of but Poshmark takes too much effort for me and I find consignment stores usually take months until anything sells and then getting your money is a pain. So looking for instant cash. TIA

Hi

Can anyone refer me for snowflake developer position.
Total 2.4 years of experience and 1 year on snowflake.

Thanks.

Have opportunity to work in my firm’s London satellite office for about a year and a half, and then come back to NY headquarters. In good standing with firm and have M&A and capital markets experience. Did not start traveling abroad until my bar trip (did not grow up with the money for trips like that) and think it would be a good personal and professional experience. Any thoughts / advice?

Any star alliance status match delta platinum?

How do you all ask parents for supplies without bagging them constantly?

Most South Asian names seem to be anglicized in the US. Since it seems inevitable, any new parents have experience with getting ahead of the curve & going with an anglicized version in birth cert?

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.

Curious if all forms have been using “virtual” EAs and if so, how long before the “old” EA model is obsolete?

When's the last time you've left the office at a reasonable time -- say by 6 PM ?

Is Gary Vee still saying that all of their layoffs were not covid related? Vayner folks, is that true?

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.

Does anyone have a MS lesson on kindness and acceptance of students with special needs?

I had one of those VERY nonproductive days today. I think I accomplished maybe an hour of billable work, even though I had a bunch of stuff to do. I just came off a 300 hour month, and unexpectedly got a continuance on a deadline on Wednesday, and it’s like all of my motivation leeched out of me at once.

Got to know that the current hybrid work policy (3 day wfo and 2 day wfh) is valid till december only, post which everyone is suppose to work from office.. is it true?

Hello... does anyone have any info on being an EA at BDO??? About to interview and I'm curious. Thanks

Does anyone remember limewire and Morpheus days. My computer had so many stds from downloading all those music files

Beer is now cheaper than gas. Drink more, drive less 🤧

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?

Anyone else expect there to be loads of attractive people when they started work and end up thoroughly disappointed?

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

Feeling grateful today. 🥺

Can’t wait until Rachel Zane breaks up with the Prince and gets back with Mike Ross. It’s about time for Suits to reboot.

I don’t like Chicago. It seems that I will have to move to Chicago in the fall. How do I survive this

Big birthday coming up in a few months and wanting to do things I have never done before (tattoos, surgery, etc.) What have you done as a result of a mid life crisis?

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I get significantly more likes on bumble BFF than I do on bumble dating

I judge the company I work every time they misspell my name even though I’ve corrected it over and over again. It tells me they don’t care and don’t want to make the effort. It’s in my email, my email signature, on my profile, etc. How hard is it to look it up and spell it correctly?!

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

I would like to take this time to sincerely apologize for calling people in there 30s old, I finally turned 30 and we are young af, unlike the old geezers in their 40s

We’re only getting older baby 🎶
