Anyone else kind of surprised with the drug culture in federal? I’ve had colleagues (not only at ACN) tell me about them using adderal, weed, etc.

No; adderal barely counts and weed might as well be alcohol at this point

I just found it to be surprising with clearances and what not. It was common at my pervious firm but I didn’t expect the carryover to federal hahah

Yeah I guess with clearances it’s a different story oddly enough though non of my projects have required more than a public trust

Shrug. As long as you’re not an abuser, it doesn’t really matter

@PwC1 some clients require drug trsts

Just wait until the big drugs come out to play...weed is small time to the drugs i saw at ACN

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.
