Is anyone else hoping for an insane blizzard to hit mid-next week so they have an excuse not to drive downstate to spend Thanksgiving with their extended family? Some of my family's FB posts since last week's elections tell me it's going to be a long holiday weekend.

Be courages this week. Step out and step up. Be present in all you do. Above all, remember you have what it takes.

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Saw a post about how associates are prevented from discussing salary at Jones Day. How does the firm get away with that? Isn’t that a violation of labor laws?

Will there be any tax implications from Venmo transactions in FY21 given the new fees they introduced earlier this year? Neither I nor any people I have transacted with this past year have noted that anything was for goods/services regardless if that was actually the case so am wondering if there will be any changes as to how things are accounted for or if any new forms are being issued.

Travelling to NYC in November for the first time and there's a reasonably priced airbnb in Central Harlem. Is that a safe area for 4 females to roam around late at night? I also read on Reddit that short term rentals in NYC are illegal...? Is that true? Should I avoid Airbnbs?

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

Anomaly, good move or no?

I promise you, whatever you have to tell me as I sit down with my lunch is not as important as eating my lunch.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Does anyone know any good packaging design companies with experience in lifestyle/beauty/fashion products. NYC or the West Coast? Any recommendations much appreciated. Thanks.

I just want to write one weird/funny commercial. That's it. Then I can quit this business. Why is this so fucking hard?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

I’m feeling drained. Unmotivated, uninspired, & bored. My job takes all of my mental energy, but I can’t start looking for anything new yet. Any advice on how to handle a job that makes you miserable?
