I spend way too much time planning team events. I don’t think it’s too hard for leaders to let me have more opportunity outside of my wheelhouse when I express the interest

Once, I explicitly asked for more technical work and was tasked to plan a client event as I watched a male in my class build tableau dashboards in front of me. The culmination of these small technical opportunities has led him to be known as the “digital guy” around the office, while my strong suit is still planning fun events

I work in tech consulting. I have a male counterpart of equal rank and workload. People on the project and sometimes on our team directly go to him instead of me on technical matters. At first, they didn’t even think to ask me or invite me in discussion unless I pushed my way in on the conversations. My male counterpart didn’t play nice at first and blocked my involvement. I then had to speak up about it to the entire team, thankfully he now redirects them to me where I should be involved like 80% of the time.

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
