LOL! My mom handled scheduling for a recreational ladies’ doubles tennis league back in the ’90s. Eventually she taught herself Visual Basic and programmed that shit into Excel. But she hand-verified the results!

In most (all?) of the medical research institutes I’ve worked at (though admittedly none in the US), the custodial staff and the food staff were all employed through third party contractors. I strongly suspect that none of them will be included in the vaccination programs of these institutes because they aren’t…

Honestly, after “old people” and “first responders” (not the same as essential workers) ... my next group would be “front line service industry workers”. Food prep, wait staff, etc.

He’s over 80 though, which makes him eligible in the UK. Ian McKellan got it, too, for the same reason.

How long until a celebrity who doesn’t meet any of the criteria for being one of the first vaccinated posts a video on Instagram or Twitter of their first shot?

Seriously.  Take this over to the lady who runs the local youth hockey organization and she will have it sorted out before lunch.

but how will the consultants justify their insanely bloated contracts if they don’t deliver efficiencies or harness technologies or produce customized algorithms??

You would think so, but that’s not always the case. I’m a social worker that works as a therapist in a community based agency. Usually we work out in the field but this entire time we’ve been working from home via Telehealth. Even though we are working from home we are still considered essential workers and will be…

Allegedly the error was caused by a faulty algorithm, however the protestors claim that Stanford became aware of the error on Tuesday and did nothing to course correct.

Doesn’t being an essential worker mean you can’t work from home? No shade on your job, I don’t think you count as an essential worker.

Not to sound insensitive or anything (I’m rando on the Internet who has no idea the stuff you deal with), but have you told your husband how much his indifference bothers you? I know it’s easy to think “I shouldn’t HAVE to tell him, he should know “, but it’s possible he legit doesn’t realize how much it hurts you,…

Our modern culture seems to actively discourage men from making close male friendships. Homophobia, toxic masculinity and other issues create situations where guys only have their partners for emotional outlets and yeah... that’s insanely damaging to a relationship! You HAVE to have people to talk to. Sometimes you…

I’m seriously dating myself here, but there was once a thing called the “Ann Landers Question,” which was a thing she (the original advice columnists) used to pitch to people like LW who were in similar dilemmas. It’s simply asking, “Are you better off with her or without her?” As trite as it might seem, it’s a useful…

This.

LW, nothing’s going to change unless you choose it.

Get a divorce stat, I see no signs of anything worth saving in your relationship and just saying you’ve got 20 years invested is no good reason to keep trudging on. Live on your own WITHOUT being in a relationship for at least a year. Get your shit together and be your own person, THEN you can go about hoping to find…

This is one of those situations therapists were made for.  You may decide to stay together, working on your marriage.  You may decide that you don’t want to stay together, and would like some help splitting up without becoming the worst version of yourselves.  If your wife doesn’t want to go, you can go alone.  You…

Sounds to me like they were made for each other. Neither has the guts to end it so she has gone aggressive while he plays the passive doormat.

That was a really sad read, life is definitely too short for that crap. You make a really good point about us passive folks. Being passive is still an action, and still holds responsibility. It’s good to be reminded of that.
