Q: I am currently an intern at a school, and woke up this morning feeling exhausted and really unprepared. I texted my supervisor early this morning to let her know I wasn't feeling well (even though I'm not sick), and it's afternoon, and I haven't heard back from her.
I am worried she will find a text unacceptable, and I don't know how to proceed at this point.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sending a text to your supervisor was not a formal, respectful way of communicating. It's not just the way how business communication is done.
With texting, you can never be sure that your supervisor read the text- but by calling her and speaking to her, you are directly giving her the information of why you were not able to be at work at the school.
You should telephone your supervisor right away so you can tell her your reason personally. Do not forget to apologize anbout the text. Tell her that you realized that texting her was not an appropriate way of handling the situation and you will not do it again.

Q: My brother's friend who is about 20 years old just lost a significant amount of weight. However, he never expressed a desire to lose weight to any of us, so I'm wondering...would it be appropriate to tell him he looks good??? How would I even word that?

There is nothing wrong with giving a kind, sincere compliment, and telling a young man, who worked hard to lose that excess pounds that he looks good. But without having to point out your observation of his weight loss. He knows that he had excess weight, so it would probably make his day. Perhaps he will be the one to first mention that it's due to his weight loss. But you don't have to point out the reason why you think he looks good.
