This one time I had to work with Deloitte...

We had an independent one who made it 3 days. She sat in meetings and just groaned or sighed at the client. The few words she said were, “that’s wrong,” and, “why am I here then?”

Had a tech subcontractor who refused to answer email. Period. When confronted, she said that she preferred in-person conversations 🤦🏻‍♀️ She also wasn’t available on Fridays but didn’t tell anyone as such lol. She was a quirky lady!

Ladies in their 30s (or anyone) help me out. When on a great first date with a guy in his late 30s, we totally clicked. When he dropped me off, he asked to come inside and I politely said no, since I don't invite anyone inside after the first time we've met date or not. Everything seemed fine but this morning he texts me "I'm sorry it just seems like we aren't looking for the same things." What did I do wrong here? Should I have let him come inside?

A past coworker reached out to me about catching up and hearing how things are at my new job. I’ve been swamped and don’t really have the mental bandwidth. He’s also not the best conversationalist so it’s always a little draining when I talk to him. How do I tell him no without being rude and burning bridges? Or should I just suck it up and do it anyways?
