This is so random but When you go to company sponsored Happy Hours do you have one drink and leave or do you stay and socialize..? I just went to my company HH and I stayed to socialize and came into work the next day and someone said “you should watch how much you drink” I had 2 glasses of wine 😩🤦🏽‍♀️ now im thinking next time im leaving 🤷🏽‍♀️

My team is definitely not like that, we even do shots at HH. I tend to stay and socialize, how much I drink depends on how I’m feeling though not a heavy drinker anyway. Sometimes I may not drink at all if i’m being super conscious of where I’m allocating my calories.

If it's a HH with people outside of my core group (i.e., people that I socialize w outside of work), I have one or two drinks and hang out for at least an hour. If the vibe is good, I'll stay longer but still limit myself to a max of 2 drinks.

I stay an hour but never drink. It’s fun watching people spill their tea and I’m sober. I’m very lively so no one can tell I haven’t drank all night

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
