When feeling vehement and bitter, notice it. Pause. Label it. “Angry. Bitter.” That tiny space begins to diffuse the vitriol.

Abortion banned in Georgia after 6 weeks. Y’all better wrap it up.

People that take medication, do you find that using marijuana in the evening helps with sleep?

We are trying to change plan. What you’ll think about Aetna EPO, heard it pays 100% for IVF? Currently on BCBS not much benefits if we would want to skip IUI and jump to IVF. Any suggestions here would be helpful. Thank you.

I’m trying to get my parents into adopting healthier eating habits but nothing is really sticking. Do you have any recommendations or like books I can give them to teach them what’s actually good to eat vs. falling for good marketing/ fads?

Ordered a shroom grow kit and two kinds of spores. I've never taken them and always wanted to. Let's see if they do anything to rewire the brain like some people say!

🤬🤬These freaking mosquitoes are killing me. I hate that bug spray needs to be included as part of my going out routine.

Does anyone have suggestions for fragrance free options?

Can anyone tell me about infusion nursing? How did you get into it? (I see a lot of job postings but they all want experience.) Also I got my RN early in the pandemic, so I never got a preceptorship, and I’ve since worked mostly in immunizations. Took a phlebotomy/IV course for more practice, but… any advice?

Had a 3.2 in undergrad at UC Berkeley. Struggled with mental health 2 of my semesters, which reflects in my transcript pretty evidently. Is it worth writing an optional essay about? Just don’t want to be dinged and not seen as capable for grad level courses bc of that

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Any good grief counseling in Chicago or remote? My dad has late stage cancer and is dying. Need help to process this.

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Cold/flu season has begun! everyone coming into work with a cold and spreading the germs all over the place ! 😒

FIRE newbie here. Is it possible to reach FIRE with a special needs kid? Has someone done it? Are there any alternatives to fund therapies beside insurance?

Is it standard or common for ad agencies to cover egg freezing and/or IVF? It’s a common perk in the US

Best hotel in NYC with a decent gym?

What is the drug culture like at your office? I assume people don’t openly talk about what they do in their free time if illicit, but they may do so quietly or you can otherwise tell.
Do you get the impression many people do them? If so, soft drugs (ex - weed)? Hard drugs? Non-prescribed study drugs? Frequency? At work-sponsored social functions? To an extent that it’s noticeable/problematic?

Could someone who is in the room on talent day please explain the process? Our are names just put on a slide show with your snapshot scores, chargeability, firm wide contributions, and years of experience then MDs just give the green light or not? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle and I want my own Abby!!! Sigh.....

Anyone use charts for contract review? If so, what headings do you put in the first row?

Do we know what % of applicants get offers with scholarship?

I’m 21. Maybe I just got lucky, but working in Apple retail was an incredible experience. I was only there for 7 months, but it was enough time to know it’s a place filled with love and laughter. Walking in other Apple Store’s I can feel the energy and I genuinely believe my store was unique. Managers cared and coworkers were connected. I’m going to miss talking about Apple with people, but definitely not helping indecisive assholes try on 30 different Apple Watch bands; they can suck my balls.

Google S&O manager total compensation expectations in Bay Area ? Please suggest numbers as I need to negotiate soon, thank you.

Thinking about jumping in with Berkeley's flex option for the evening / weekend MBA.

Thoughts?

What book would you recommend? For a SCM professional :)

Drop your classroom management ideas here. For my school it sure is nice to have a principal who supports a no phone policy.

WILL Smith. Sigh. I wonder how many people WILL be thinking twice now because of this “slap heard around the world” . WILL this cause us to pause? What WILL we learn from this?

Has anyone tried breathing exercises with their students to help them calm down at the start of class?

Start each class with a few seconds of stillness. It takes consistent practice. Most students will blurt something silly out after about 4 seconds. Expect it and smile. After time is up ask students to notice what they were doing during that time. No shame. Notice and strive to be more still next.

1. Hands, feet, mouth, arms, legs still (a veritable challenge)
2. Close the eyes.
3. Long exhales to bring in the calming chemical acetylcholine.

I have a burning question. I have been teaching for over 18 years, which nags me.

Suppose you agree that the provided professional development offered through our districts is ineffective. Why not invest in your professional development by seeking a coach or mentor or even pay for professional resources that would help? To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

Breathing bubbles calm the class even for just a minute.

Instead of “I can”, try “I GET to”

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.

Google forms make for great exit tickets. Of course this only works if your students all have a device. Hard copy exit tickets can become unmanageable, depending on class sizes and frequency.

If your students are working on computers, have them move the chairs and face the screens toward you can see what they are doing.

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Got dread? Picture yourself having a great day. Managing all the yuk makes for a successful day.
