i exceeded my billable hours requirement by late October so other than taking care of necessary/emergent tasks, I have been just trying to wrap things up and enjoy some needed (and earned imo) downtime. still putting in some hours though because bonus is dependent on performance!

Good for you!

Perfection is the enemy of progress is a view held by too many in large corporations. It’s difficult to hear for those of us whose parents and coaches told us to be ready to give 110% or don’t bother showing up.

I'm starting new stuff and just trying to get to break. Friday is my last day till Jan 5

My last coworkers didn't get this memo because nothing was done well or done at all lmao

Yes. I can tell people are frazzled with the holidays so I’m a little bit more gentle.

Done is more often better than not done, but unfortunately I have trouble putting this knowledge into practice - I am always striving for perfection, and it’s a battle I can never win. Damn my brain!
