I've gone from billing 60-75 hrs a week regularly to about 20 so far this week. Part of it is that I'm just not doing the IMMEDIATELY ON FIRE assignments but mostly it's that email traffic has gone down considerably.

I’ve gotten work done, but only because the election news gives me *so much* anxiety I have to ignore it.

This makes me feel good knowing it’s not just me who is stressing out because of the election.

Billed 30 hours this week and was at the computer from 930-630 every day 😫 (which aren’t bad hours, I know, but you’d think I would have billed more).

As a manager of a restaurant, how is it best to address parents with screaming babies/children given that it is not a kid-encouraged establishment?

My mom bought a second property and it went up by 200 K so she’s now looking to refinance it. She’s asked to put my name on the mortgage as my dads credit is not the best. She has and still will be paying the mortgage payments. Also, when I do plan on buying my first house years from now she said she will remove my name from the mortgage so it doesn’t affect my credit and sell the property if I need help for the down payment. I trust my mom and I do want to support her but is this a good idea?
