Break time hits different when you’ve been on your feet for hours. Everyone’s got that one go-to snack that instantly recharges them. Some people swear by chips or chocolate, others grab an energy drink like it’s liquid gold, and then there are the healthy ones munching on fruit or granola bars. Personally, it feels like that quick bite can make or break the second half of your shift.

What’s your ride-or-die work snack that keeps you going?

I’ve been on a Coke Zero kick, get’s me that little boost of caffeine without too much sugar. I have a huge sweet tooth and would rather eat some brownies than drink it now.

Right? Coke Zero is the perfect balance. Gives that caffeine hit without feeling like you just drank a dessert !

I snag an energy drink and a protein bar from the gas station every morning and slam them during my 2 o'clock break. Current pairing is a Ghost Swedish Fish energy drink with the birthday cake protein pastry from Legendary Labs. Both are full of mystery synthetic ingredients that will probably be linked to cancer within 5 or 10 years, but hey, they get me through the tail end of my shift!

Exactly! I was thinking the same thing Swedish Fish energy drink sounds like something brewed in a lab and a candy shop 😂

It used be a strawberry milk for me and a small bag of chips.

For me it was chocolate milk and brownies haha

For me it’s chocolate—just enough sugar to reset my brain and keep me moving.

Good one!

You are right about that. I used to LONG for my break, especially when I was working a double. Being able to just sit in silence is so nice sometimes.

Sometimes silent times hits harder than caffeine!

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting. Still a blank slate in terms of tax experience, but I honestly do have a slight interest in international tax. Brought it up and I was given some names to find some work opportunities in that area. Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.

I figure if anyone can understand this, it’s you all. I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I have always loved communications, and I’m really good at it. But lately I’m so tired of politics and toxicity that I it’s sent me into a depression tailspin, on top of a pretty severe mid-life crisis. Two and a half weeks ago, I quit my job with nothing lined up. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but I kind of feel like self-preservation was at work here. I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date.

My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.
