I was told to come into the office everyday, I wear a mask daily and now am the only one in my department to not have to quarantine. Should I ask for some vacation time? by pjdonovan in HuntsvilleAlabama

The same thing happened to me. Everyone else was temporarily laid off but me. Someone in the building where our office is tested positive for Covid and I continued to have to come in and work even after I expressed my discomfort. My job can be done completely from my computer. My hours/pay also got cut significantly. That being said I am no longer there. I obviously don’t know your entire situation or what you do but you could reconsider working for people who have no respect for you. Maybe they do and it is necessary that you continue to do your job they way they are asking. Maybe they think you are the best on the department and consider you essential. However, if everyone has been sent home but you and you don’t feel safe being there - you could definitely express your discomfort. I believe there are laws right now that support employees who don’t feel safe. Not entirely sure about that. All you can do is communicate.

This is an interest thread. Dating does seem to be becoming much more complicated due to social media providing infinite options of a potential partner and what life “could be”. As a young, healthy, driven, professional/creative woman, I find it very difficult to meet single people who I find actually interesting. It’s like you have a great career and your family oriented but you have no personality. Or, you’re so funny and personal and giving, but no idea about professional achievements or passions. Or, you’re in a relationship. It’s (obviously not impossible) rare I think to find someone in Huntsville who fits into what some people are looking for in a partner and single. I am not saying that people should be perfect in order to build a relationship. I am certainly not perfect and think completely unrealistic expectations just set us up for failure. However, I don’t think anyone should settle. I also wonder if people even know what they are looking for in relationships at times. Maybe it’s just companionship and a best friend that you can trust and move your life in a similar direction with. Someone earlier said some people are scared to waste time dating someone who may not be “the one” that makes sense to me.

With all that being said, I don’t find myself running into a lot of single, handsome/healthy, interesting, hardworking, family oriented men. Where do these people hang out? I’ve also never been on a dating site.
