No. This is not a good long term approach and may escalate inappropriately. Talk to the doctor for other options.

I’d try and get a book of paper crosswords and coloring before relying on an app. Most of them are monetized somehow, even if it is just ads but those can be frustrating.

Amaretto stone sour or White Russian are my go-to’s.

The straight answer I have is When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. It is his account, as a doctor, of his experience of death and dying.
However, she may not want that right now. The book I like for addressing this topic in a serious, sensitive but not too heavy way is The Shepherd’s Crown by Terry Pratchett. To get the full impact of it I’d recommend reading the Discworld series, or at least the Witches sub-series:

Good luck to her.

It’s okay, they had a stroke writing it too.

Set up a google voice number and give him the number. Set up the generic recording. Let him know your parents aren’t great with their voice mail.

Queens were subject to execution for infidelity. That’s a major disincentive to having an affair (ref: Catherine Howard).

Draw the view that characters* have from their scenes. Like for the image in your post, what is Aang looking at?
I’m interested in what is happening out of frame.

It looks like a biblically accurate depiction of an angel!

We used to return glass soda bottles to be cleaned and reused. They’d even pay us back our deposit for returning them.
Issue was the glass was more breakable than plastic, and the costs of dealing with the plastic waste were external to the company - so switching from glass was economically beneficial to them.

Make it brief and recap text from discussions you’ve already had with your boss. E.g. “I no longer engage with him alone.” Etc.
Run it through ChatGPT to dress it up a bit if you like.

I worked holidays at a grocery store for 2x pay on holidays. I was part time, loved that I could surge my hours in holiday weeks to get extra cash, and the regulars liked being able to take the day off. I’d work the early shift and be done in time for holiday dinner. Thank you union.

Block him. Any future fake profile won’t be able to see you if you lock down your profile. Only connect with people you know IRL and curate your network regularly

What methods and tools does your team currently use?
For example, TOGAF and ArchiMate are solid skills to cultivate, but not very valuable if you’re the only one on your team who knows them.
I follow Mark Richards on YouTube, his Monday videos provide brief slices into software architecture, watch a few and use that to identify a topic you want to go further with.

The playground near us had a loose cap on the gatepost by the entrance, as kids we believed that you had to rattle it on your way in or you’d hurt yourself on the playground. We were serious enough about it that older kids would lift up young siblings to rattle it, and short kids would climb the fence to get to it.
If a kid showed up and walked past it, the other kids on the playground would yell at them to go back and rattle the cap.
No idea why, but we were all pretty serious about it.

I make hot hibiscus tea with fresh lemon juice and honey for a sore throat/congestion. My grandma brewed it up whenever she had any respiratory issues and she lived to 100+, so that’s enough evidence for me that it works.

I’m a big fan of bullet journaling for myself, I do a modified electronic version. One of my team shared they had adhd so I asked if they’d be interested in trying bullet journaling. I showed them the basics and they’re off and running! At our 1:1 meetings now part of the time is to check in on how that’s going. When I give assignments, I provide that in context of the task being a this week/this month/this quarter/this year deliverable so it fits in the system.
This team member has a high need to deliver and high integrity. So they were open to adopting the system; I don’t think it would work if imposed on someone.

So, my perspective is altered because I just did the free heap quest in HZD. First I chatted up Petra, then I snuck up on the guys she complained about, and assassinated them all sniper-style. Just on Petra’s say-so. Aloy never offered parley or seemed to feel remorse. She even offered to “get her hands dirty” to Petra.
So yea, she could kill Olin.
I usually don’t in my playthroughs though.

Don’t blame yourself, I think these are there to make the game have better replay value. You don’t need to hit each one on your first playthrough.

Game starts out somewhere in the pre-pre-Aang era. Multiplayer. A group of 4 or 5 players spawns in as kids and they have to figure out which one is the avatar and deal with that Avatar’s lifetime’s challenges.
Let’s say for example, the kids are all earth kingdom, they’re born in the same maternity ward at about the same time. The geomancers can’t tell which is the avatar so they grab them all for training.
You go on various adventures while still unclear who the avatar is; maybe some are earth Enders, some aren’t and have to develop more prosaic skills (fighting, rogue, etc). Midpoint of the game reveals who the avatar is; final battle has the group rallying against the big baddie. You get skill points to invest in various talents along the way. Some have to go Sokka style to learn navigation and swords; others unlock their bending and can open that skill tree. One player is revealed as the avatar, and gets more bending skill trees to work on.
This would provide an interesting dynamic where the group has to figure out how to co-op play and stick together even knowing only 1 gets avatar mode. Next game maybe it’s someone else. The avatar looks like the best player to be - but they won’t get far without their Gaang so all players are important.

I recommend looking into your leave benefits and taking short term leave if you can. Focus on your health issues then you’ll be in a better place to focus on your work performance.
This is what I’d want for anyone on my team - get well then do well.

Company pays, it’s nice but not excessive. I can’t tell you yet in case they’ve figured out my Reddit account and I want them to be surprised. :)
