About to join KPMG Lighthouse in a couple weeks. Received an email about a KPMG lakehouse on campus event in Orlando. I think it is supposed to be an orientation event. With Omicron looming and unvaxxed toddlers at home, I am wondering if I can say NO to this travel. Any KPMG folks who know if this is avoidable and not going to put me in bad light?

You can absolutely say no. Do what works for you.

No one is compelled to travel. Most travel is not happening now anyway. Lots of events have been cancelled due to the current omicron hysteria.

It’s optional, but the in person orientation at Lakehouse is awesome and worth your time. I’ve been to Lakehouse twice since September, once for new hire orientation, and it was great to start in person and meet a few people. The facility is top notch and vaccinations are required to attend and they test onsite.

You can request the virtual option but I would highly recommend you do the lake house trip. The food is amazing and you get to build friendships and network. I wish I could go!

They cancelled the Lakehouse orientation for January new hires. I could see this continuing since numbers for Covid aren’t changing much.

Do they still make people share rooms lol?

No, since Lakehouse was completed, all training has one person per room.

I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?

I finally broke down and went back on HRT last week. I have been taking gabapentin for a nerve injury which I’ve learned helps hot flashes. I can’t tell a significant difference yet aside from maybe getting a little better sleep. I saw a new doctor (male) to get my prescription refilled and he seems to have a different philosophy than my last doctor (female). He wants me to be on HRT until 51, but after that he doesn’t recommend it. I hope by that age I’ll be off the gabapentin…
