This was on a conference call with a business partner.

"I am working from home and my kids are able to be at school since it's a private school. I guess that's what white privilege gets us."

Yeah some of us hung up at that point.

I would have told him/her not to denigrate her accomplishment - this individual works hard to earn money and sends the children to private school. What’s wrong with that?

Uh huh, that's probably exactly what they meant.

No change in diet/exercise, but have accumulated multiple cuts - including deep cuts - on hands that have not healed (whether due to nutrient deficiencies or stretching of skin from all the handwashing). As natural healing will not occur without action, what are some measures I can take and specific products (moisturizers are not enough) I can apply to expedite this healing process? I developed Pavlovian symptoms to refrain from moving hands beyond neutral position for pain/damage prevention 😭

I am planning to start with Google's Cloud Digital Leader (CDL) certification and later will move further for Associate Cloud Engineer Certification. But upon searching on the internet I couldn't find any jobs that require CDL, mostly starting with Associate Cloud. Since I don't have any experience in Cloud and to start with Associate Cloud I need to have at least +6 months of experience on Google Cloud.
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me in this.

Hey everyone! S2 here and I’m interested in becoming a life coach after public so wanted to offer help to anyone who isn’t happy with the mentoring they’re getting at work and would like a second perspective. I’m also hoping to coach in areas beyond career, like core beliefs, values, habits, or relationships. I’ve completed online certification courses, I’ve done a ton of self study of other coaching content and I believe you can still provide value and help to someone even if you haven’t (cont)

Good Morning All!
I’ve been having some mental issues lately and have no idea if it’s due to my HRT.
If I take .75 of estradiol I still have hot flashes. If I take 1.0 I feel either numb or depressed constantly.
I feel like I’m bearing this battle alone as my Physician’s seem like experimenting with dosing is my only option.
I’ve also consistently done intermittent fasting for two weeks, exercise 5x per week, and am eating better all to lose a whopping .5 lbs. SMH

What would you do?

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help. I'm definitely open to helping - but sometimes "help" is basically the whole job - it feels like I'm doing both jobs lol and it almost feels unfair that we both get paid the same or very close (Colorado, so pay transparency). The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.
