Everyone has. You say sorry another meeting ran over or i had to sneak in a bio break and move on. Nobody cares

Sorry the “client” called right before the the mtg

“Sorry, had to take the Browns to the Super Bowl.”

I hate it when people say they have to take a bio break. TMI. Just say you have to step away for a few minutes. Everyone knows what you mean and I don’t get unwanted images of you sitting on the can popping into my head.

Just ping ahead and say you will be few minutes late.

I've been late for a meeting because I hit "dismiss" instead of "remind" and spaced out looking at a wall.

Having bathroom needs is not a big issue...

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

I work in sf and Nyc and have now saved enough where I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy rather than rent an apartment as an investment. Tricky part is I’m still quite young and this wouldn’t be my lifelong/family home. Have also considered buying in less metropolitan areas and renting them out for passive income. Curious if anyone’s gone through this process before and have thoughts ?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.
