Cancelled flights in New England, now driving to Western MI; nothing like a 15 hour road trip... "You'll see the country," they said, and they were right. Living the dream 😎😎😎

Who is making you drive 15hrs to a client site? I can only hope you are inflicting this punishment on yourself. Otherwise this is nonsense and you should have refused

Self-inflicted, for sure. Also happens to be close to home for me ;-)... In addition client was very grateful, and "...appreciates the level of dedication and commitment we bring to our work, and to keeping schedules on track." Did I mention we're pitching three other projects to them?

Seeing the country at this time?

Going through Canada?

Wasn't bad after getting out of MA, took a more "southern" route to avoid lake effect snow. Should have kept RWD Cadillac CTS, rather than trading for AWD Santa Fe... Got to OH at 2:00 AM, taking a break. Driving rest of the way today,, will go to client site first thing Thursday. All the glamor of consulting in a week's work.

If planes aren't moving neither am I. The client should understand that I'm not a long haul truck driver. Nothing wrong with being a long haul truck driver but it isn't what I do.

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.

After 18 years, I lost my art room to a classroom this year in order to spread out kids due to Covit19. They said we can’t hand out papers.. kinda thinking art is remote for all. I will do lessons on google classroom with live lesson to classrooms and home. I was told special area teachers may be “repurposed”. We will be used like a TA. One class will be spread out two rooms.Aday teacher in one room, I help in other room. B day teachers switch 😳😷☹️.. I know I’m lucky to have a job but.

Does anyone actually wake up refreshed and if so can you share your secrets? It doesn’t matter how much or how little sleep I get I wake up feeling like I got hit by a train. I run 3-4x per week and have lost ~20lbs in the past few months so I should be getting enough vitamin D and have a healthy diet. Don’t drink coffee or other caffeine (unless herbal tea on occasion counts). I wear an eye mask to block out light. Tried melatonin but it gave me nightmares. I feel like I’m losing hope on sleep
