Of course I know nobody here can give a concrete answer but wanted to get ideas. On a meeting this morning, my boss announced one of my colleagues is pregnant and will
be going on maternity leave in 4 months. She said that over the next few months they are going to start training me to take over her role when she goes on leave.

We’re technically under the same department but different sub departments. I’m business banking and she’s government banking so an entirely different role. My company has done “temporary assignments” for people in different departments when they have extended leave and someone will take over their role entirely with a title change and everything until they come back.

I’m just wondering what to expect. The temporary role is something I really like, much better than my current role.

M24, I currently work as a cash management specialist at a smaller bank. Essentially I’m the guy who sets up ACH, Wire, etc for business clients. I also do some minor customer support for business clients and take on average 5-10 calls per day. All in all it’s a decent gig, I’m WFH 3 days per week and good benefits. It’s a small enough company of 1,000 employees and I work at the HQ, so I know people including C Suites from every department, I could pivot to where I want to be some day.

Fidelity just opened a job for a Financial Services Representative at an investor center near me and I was looking at it. It seems to be a relatively entry level job. I would get a couple dollar an hour pay cut and lose the ability to work from home, and seems it would be a lot more phone calls. However I would get my FINRA licenses. And Fidelity has been a dream company of mine to work at for a long time, I presumably could start here and move up to an operations role outside of the branches.

Staying in Santa Monica, CA this summer. I booked a hotel that is about 1.2 miles (20 minute) walk from Santa Monica pier and that general area. As the trip gets closer I am starting to wonder if it’s worth spending an extra $1000 on top of what I paid for this hotel to get one right on the beach?

I’m no millionaire by any means so this is from a financial standpoint, is it better value to uber/walk and spend $1000 less or spend more to get right in the beach?

25M and 24F. Been dating my current partner for over a year. She has a great personality and is honestly my best friend. However, since we started dated for a lack of better words she's begin to let herself go. When we met she was fit and took care of her body playing sports. She's since stopped exercising and started eating junk every day, no protein of any kind just fast food and sugar. She weighs 10 pounds less than me and I'm a whole foot taller than her. I'm no bodybuilder by any means but I eat whole foods and lift 5 days a week.

She's frequently making comments about her body but every time I try to encourage her to work out with me it goes nowhere. Once a week she'll come "work out" with me, she doesn't like weights and just walks on the treadmill for 10 minutes then sits in the gym lobby until I'm done. Then she goes home and stuffs her face full of junk.

At the end of the day I'm in no position to tell somehow how to take care of their body, but it's getting to a point where it's affecting my sexual attraction. We maybe have sex once a month if that, if we do anything else it's just me helping her out. I've told her my reason for never being in the mood is low testosterone but that's not true; when I go in public or to the gym I'm incredibly horny seeing women who take care of their bodies. I've cut out porn and masturbating period in hopes it would help but it hasn't yet.

I'm just looking for input on how to navigate. Everything else aside she is one of the best things that has happened to me. We've made so many memories and been on many adventures in just 18 months and I'd love to continue. I've just been finding myself struggling with the sexual attraction aspect and I would love to get it back.
