After being out of power for the past 36 hours, I realize how uncomfortable with silence. I am so used to having music or the TV on. Even if I am not watching it, I usually have it on for background noise. If it is not the TV or music, I have podcasts or audio books playing. At night, I always have the fans running. When it is totally quiet, I feel like all I hear is my ears ringing. How do you handle the quiet?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.
