Who has been affected by the recent power outages? How are you surviving in this heat? I took my family to a library across the city to stay cool.

Power outage in Austin? What's the cause? I have friends there and should check in on them

like

OMG I cannot even imagine that. Thankfully I was not affected by the outages but I had a friend who didn't have power for a week. They had to go stay in a hotel so they could take showers and get some sort of respite from the heat and I don't blame them. I cannot imagine not having power for an entire week.

There were outages? What part of the city?

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

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?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
