who here has fled the city until further notice until we figure out the impacts of Covid? Feeling really nostalgic about not resigning my lease and leaving back to my parent’s until probable end of summer/end of year☹️

Recently received notice from landlord rent is going up ~20%. For reference, it is privately owned condo and did not sign at a COVID discounted rate. Super frustrated. What are others seeing for rent increases?

Been in SF for a year and a half now but have been traveling for work I haven't invested time in making new friends other than roommates/old friends. New friends welcome in 2017 if you live in SF!

Do you feel like a Cannes Lion is worth less now? In this post-covid era, are awards (and award shows) still relevant?

Coronavirus and health: has your alcohol consumption gone up during the pandemic? This pandemic had encouraged me to quit for good now.

I got that coveted big law job.

But I would much rather want a family of my own and someone to hug and kiss, something I feel really sad about around christmas.

Never had much contact with my dad, and two years ago, I broke off contact with my mother because I realized that she had been a manipulative narcissist my entire childhood.

Working 50-60h weeks on average doesn’t help your dating life though, and who would want to date someone with no family anyway

There’s this guy at work I really like. We’re really really good friends but I’ve caught feels since the day I met him and I just want to tell him how I feel but I don’t want to ruin our great friendship. He’s the closest friend I have.

Mental health question - I can’t stop reading the coronavirus news and my anxiety is out of control. Obviously can stop reading the news but then anxiety of missing things takes over... help

How does one get on at a family office?

it’s been 3 years in this city and I really need to hang out with someone other than my boyfriend. But I’m terrible at “networking"

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

Is the firm doing anything to combat those leaving the practice during covid? Isn’t the firm on a hiring freeze?

Random question but do you let your kids hang out in your bedroom and use your master bath if applicable? My kids always seem to want to use our bathroom instead of theirs and my spouse doesn't care but I grew up with my parent's room basically being off limits and think I'd prefer it that way.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Do you have a plan of action if anyone on your team gets sick with covid19?

Had a panic attack last night - my first in about 3 months. That knot of anxiousness in my stomach won’t go away and I feel unable to “unclench”. At home with family and they keep saying things like j

Who’s thinking of a divorce/breakup as result of lockdown? Who is even more in love with their SO as a result of lockdown? Want to test the corona divorce rates theory out.

What's a good billable hour total for 2020? Given covid conditions (we faced slump in work about 2 months) and work from home productivity.

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

Bay Area - hey (:
