Last time I was in chi town, was at howl at the moon with a friend until 2am. He could barely walk, I could still mostly talk. Took a wrong turn and started heading away from the river and went 2 blocks before realizing. Creepy guy encouraged us to follow him into a side street saying it was a shortcut back to our hotel. (We didn’t give our actual hotel name.) Almost got mugged, made it back across the river and into the hotel after “letting” the guy bum a couple cigs, he left us alone.
Slept like the dead without packing first. Missed my alarm. Still made the train in time to get to ohare. Went to the sky club (self serve) and got some breakfast and more drinks. Then headed to board the plane. All in all, good business trip. PS, I highly recommend The Langham

I can’t get out on time either. So it balances out.

Same with PHL for some stupid reason. Maybe it’s just American though...

United or American?

Delta

OP, which airline? I typically fly out of / into ORD and am on time ~90% of the time

Denver too flight delayed two hours . Was stranded in Chicago last week cause delay and missed a connection. Maybe need to really start avoiding these airports!

Yeah my grammar shows how fed up I am of waiting for this flight 😂

Do you know how burned out you are exactly?

According to psychologists Herbert Freudenberger (who invented the term "Burnout") and Gail North, there are 12 stages.

Burnout has a wide range, from "I can't wait for the day to be over" to having a complete mental or physical collapse.

Make sure you pay attention to your symptoms and not lose track of who you are and where you need to be mentally, physically, and emotionally.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office.

I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
