Benefits

I’m a senior with dreams of going in-house. The maternity leave at the firm is great so the plan was to have a kid before I leave, but of course we’re struggling to conceive. My matters are stale and I feel very disconnected from my group. I can see my mid-levels getting ready to step into my shoes. I guess I just feel like I should be gone, but I’m not, and it’s really hard I’m struggling with depression and burn out and going off birth control didn’t help. (cont)

My uncle always makes fun of hospitals/healthcare saying they’re mostly in the dark ages with technology and it is the least advanced/productive industry. It’s making me think I should move into engineering/tech like him or another more productive area of the economy. It also seems to pay mediocre compared to other fields.

Lara Mangeshkar RIP. Epic woman!

I have been substituting in an ESY program this summer and last week I worked in a room with three paras who were just so disrespectful and uncooperative. It created such a stressful and uncomfortable day for me. I have been asked to cover the room again this week. Although I have spoken to the administrator interns, I feel anxious about the situation because I feel they will again try to sabotage situations and put me in embarrassing and risky situations with the students. Any suggestions ?
