I'm really starting to like telehealth. Thoughts?

What’s your theme song? The song that helps you get your head in the game when you have a big hearing or meeting

Hi NYC desis - Do you guys know of any cooks that can come home and cook Indian food? My in-laws are visiting me end of this month, and they like eating roti, dal, sabji for at least 1 of their meals.

Any good restaurants here in Dallas?

Just started playing a little Crusader Kings 2 (I know, I'm really late to the table). I'm really enjoying it!

Any strats and/or good stories from your experience?

For some time now, series about the pre-end of the world time is becoming more and more popular, this is the case with "The Handmaid's Tales" it has a perfect image design, characters with a perfectly defined background, and the ability to represent a totally possible pre-apocalyptic world. It has it all. Any other series with these features?

Is anyone watching Alchemy of Souls? How are you filling the void while you wait for episodes?

Let's talk about Stranger Things S5 predictions!!! I think one of the main characters will get killed off. My bet is on Eleven but that may be too obvious. Wbu?

Seriously considering adding vegan stuff to my restaurant's menu, I don't have anything against meat except I can't afford it. :( Any ideas on something that doesn't taste like treebark? LOL

I hate ketchup but somehow that Heinz ad is my favorite so far.

Any suggestions on good books on consulting for reading during holidays

Are cornrows allowed in the office ?

How do you get comfortable eating alone at a restaurant?

What’s your favorite POC only bar/restaurant/hangout spot?

Hi! I recently read Their Eyes Were Watching God and was stunned and the poetic and beautiful creations of Zoe’s Neale Hurston. Would love to discuss with anyone!

Since we're headed towards cold weather and the holiday season, let's talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the fall/winter and beyond. For example, I'm buying a sun lamp because it's about to be 50 degrees and raining for 6 months 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

Google stock to buy now or after the split?

3 for 4 on upgrades this week. Delta FTW.

What's the protocol for adding internal portal mockups for a client to your portfolio? Is it expected, something that requires asking permission but is still generally OK, or frowned upon? I'm a developer trying to pivot to UX.

Nothing in the contract bc our SOW was originally dev only. If I need permission, I have a good rapport with the Corp Comm director and VP so would I contact them on LinkedIn, or is this something that's normally done through the employer?

Have an opening at a bank for a SAS analyst. Need solid sas skills. Reach out if interested. Know the HM

Anyone prepping for the SHRM-CP test? I’m taking a prep course this fall and would love tips or to know if there are any study groups out there!

Been lurking on this group for a while. I’ve only traded stocks ever. What’s the best way to start with options? Any great video tutorials or websites that can help me understand the basics. I only have theoretical knowledge of options thanks to a derivatives class I did at college.

Bhai log kaisa hai Accenture? Got level 10, security family group hai. Bata do jara doston thoda ghana jo bhi pata hai, dua dunga.

Just out of curiosity: how many of you have had sex with co-workers? Is it common in your social circle? Did it happen at work or outside? How do you get to that point without being inopportune?

I don’t know how people can be productive working from home. Maybe it’s just me, I worked from home half the day today and couldn’t focus and be productive like I do when I’m in my office working.

Accenture is in the full gear military recruitment season. I was hired on through the process a few years ago and it’s been great ever since. They have paths for officer and enlisted. DM if interested

My monthly salary is around $6.4k after-tax. Living in NYC. Do you think it’s reasonable that I pay:
- about $1.5k on rent
- about $500 on utilities and subscriptions
- about $900 on student loan
- about $2k on food and etc.
My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.

Do you have any tips for the technical design round in Salesforce? I’m applying for the solution architect role and would appreciate any tips you can share. Thank you!

I keep getting sour wines. I’ve never had this issue before but the last few bottles I got (store shelf, nothing too fancy) tasted like they were opened and left out. That gross stale sort of sour taste… but the cork was in tight and sealed. 🧐

Just stopped by to say happy Friday. So cool that this group, started on a whim last week now has nearly 100 members.

What's everyone drinking this weekend?

For those who care about organic or biodynamic - what are your best recommendations? Girlfriend is very into this stuff and looking for some purchases for her

Out of pure curiosity, does anyone in here currently work in the wine industry? I’m interested to get a sense of experience levels here. (Not that it matters at all! We all learn at our own pace.)

I work in wine media now, but pre-pandemic was a Sommelier in restaurants in NYC.

Have any of my fellow corporate wine professionals made their way onto Fishbowl yet? 🍷

Would love some new suggestions for sweet but strong wines. Doesn’t matter if it’s red or white.

Laila Blueprint Cabernet 😍 I swear this is the best wine I've had in years.

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

How long do you let your wine decant before drinking/serving?

What's your favorite red wine?

Random q: any good easily accessible/free documentaries on wine or the history of wine? Also open to other great historical documentaries!

Any reccs for lesser known Italian reds that you love?

Any books to recommend to get more educated on wine?
