“You know, women, they like yoga.” 🤭🤯 Thank you. I had no idea.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

On a weekday, when can I slow down (respond in 30 mins instead of 5) or go to sleep? I’m sure it’ll depend on deal pace, but in general?

Any recommendations for a female psychologist in the Alexandria,VA area?

I find it really hard to eat healthy when I'm on site...especially when the majority of my lunches are quick ones spent at the desk. How do you handle eating well when there's no time to think about anything but work during the day??

So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

How do you know when it’s time to get help? I’ve never seen a mental health professional but I just don’t feel like myself lately, a lot of which I think is attributed to quarantine.

I have one month left to finish my thesis. I know, I’ve screwed up. Anxiety got the best of me. Is there still hope?

I desperately need help/guidance from someone, I tried going to some therapists but they just emphasize antidepressants.

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.

Well, I believe that being an adult with ADHD and being a Tax Lawyer is not the best combination - currently, I feel exhausted

Anybody in Arlington (Ballston area). Where can I go running? Any nearby trails that allow to keep distance from others.

Have a presentation in front of a large group tomorrow and it's giving me anxiety. Will taking a Xanax help?

“Who cares if it doesn’t work! You have to sell the vision!”

Any suggestions for healthy self help books? Or healthy eating or understand why we get cravings? Looking for self help books alone those lines to help get my eating right

Would you be willing to move to a different job with less pay of that means you hate your coworkers less? How much do you value absence of mental anguish and/or rage?

Any suggestions for growing 4C hair to be healthy and retain length? I just big chopped again due to some color damage and need advice for maintaining my hair while in quarantine.

If it’s true that you can gain full immunity after recovering from COVID (when science says so ofc), will the plan be to antibody test people and let them resume daily life if they have immunity?

I mostly only get to ride on weekends. If I'm lucky, during the week I'll get in some peloton. How do you get in leisure rides with work during the week?

What does the Associate Consultant do in TCS??

I just started at a big 4 and I absolutely hate it. I already want to leave after just 3 weeks. It's way more money and worth an incredible company. I was referred by someone really great....but I don't think I can stay.

Anyone else have this happen?

Hi everyone,

Favorite classic or modern whiskey cocktail, and why? Need to practice and want to impress

What are the safest areas to live in Atlanta, where you would want to be as a twenty-something? Like fun things to do, can walk to things maybe. Any thoughts?

Is senior software engineer a good position offered at persistent system for 3.2 years of experience in Webmethods development?

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

F*****-up story…please be constructive (but also open & direct)
With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

Vendor asked for closed caption files for a vid, but before sending I wanted to confirm where the vid would be to need them (for usage rights). He proceeded to then explain how captioning works.

I got hired to be the SME on a particular tech platform at my current company. I have more experience on it than my boss does, yet during a code review, he insisted that I delete a section of code that was perfectly functional and shippable and swap in his preferred code. Two hours later, he figured out that the reason why there were more than a few compiler errors in the code was because my code actually worked… smh.

“By establishing shot I meant wide shot”
This is wide.
“Wider than that. To establish the scene”
You didn’t shoot that
“We need to establish the scene”
With something you shot, or something imaginary?

Producer just splained to female director how shooting boards work. I was busy trying to open window for jumping-out-of purposes.

When you have 5 years of digital buying experience and your boss decides to mansplain what retargeting is to you. 🙃🙃🙃

“First of all, you’re wrong. And you’re mansplaining.” - Me
“Well yeah I guess you could say that in the sense that I’m a man and I’m explaining something to you." - Male Account Exec
(More below)

New GCD explained to me at great length what a manifesto is. I’ve been in advertising 15 years.

I was giving a short presentation about my experience at the Women’s March last year, and my male CD interrupted me to explain what the Women’s March was.

3rd week on the job, a guy 2 levels below me came into my office and started the conversation with "let me lend you a piece of advice...". As expected, it was not useful advice, he was just a douche.

No new posts on this board for 5 weeks. Does this mean everything is great and we ended mansplaining for good? 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I got reprimanded by a man for having an uninspired point of view of a conference call. He then gave me his inspired POV...which was exactly the same. When I pointed that out he said, “huh. Maybe.”

My CD is one big 'Splainie 😡

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

Colleague said “oh hello, who the fuck are you?” When I brought up what I guess was an unwanted opinion. This was years ago when I was more junior.
