I am. Just being a lil prudent.

Yes, and trying to shop at small businesses when possible!

Yes, and agree with supporting small businesses where possible. Also, this may not have much impact, but Iā€™m trying to avoid shopping from places that also may need to provide more ā€œessentialā€ goods. E.g. Iā€™ll order my shampoo from Sephora instead of Target. At least makes sense in my head that they may have limited resources and want to dedicate them to delivering essentials, not my shampoo and free weights.

Oof A1 thank you, I shouldā€™ve looked in to that. Will be supporting Ulta first where I can.

I bought drink umbrellas ā˜‚ļø

This is kind of a personal post but I recently had an encounter with someone who told me I had a "typical lawyer personality" aka found me boring or difficult to talk to, I guess. This was someone totally outside of my social circle. Do you think this is true of lawyers? We do have a very different life than most people, but I'm wondering if it's something I should work on.

A startup offered me stock options for my support. Now they want to start paying me part time and also offer me increased stake in the company. I am debating between asking for equity or more stock options. Need help in understanding which one to consider. For context, founder is open to both as they consider me as part of the founding team and long term plans for the company.

Yes, I'm a tragic loser reading this on a sat night. But I love our silly industry and would love other great ad book recommendations.

Please, share your thoughts as am thinking that moving to CBS we will lose some perks.
