I haven’t opened my laptop in a week. And I’m not on vacation.

Wow. I can’t even fathom this. The dummies I work with need to have everything checked even after 4 eye review has been done. I try to scare them and say it must come client ready because I don’t have time to check it and it will still be wrong. Ugh

I just got divorced, and didn’t want to make it harder on my kids, so I took all the debt and agreed to a generous child support payment so my kids are taken care of. I make good money, but am buried under student debt, child support, medical debt, and other debt. I live paycheck to paycheck. I use my points to stay in a hotel during the weekends so I can see my kids because I can’t qualify for a decent rental due to my crushing debt. Most friends and family think I’m rich because of my salary, but the reality is I’m closer to bankruptcy than anything. On good days, I know things will be better in 10 years. On bad days, I think about how my kids would be better off financially if I wasn’t here and my life insurance paid out. Then I get to talk to them before bed for a few minutes, and I remember they are the greatest thing I will ever achieve; I don’t want them to think I selfishly took the easy way out instead of fighting for them. I have another 6 or 7 drinks, head to bed, and wake up 4 hours later to go to work and do it all again.

Ass 5 - no one asked you to believe or post. I don’t want to be mean to you or dismiss you, like you did to this person who opened up, but live and learn my friend.

The key is to not think everything is equally important, and become close with your clients so you know their perspective. Only work on what the clients think is important and don’t get sucked into internal consulting drama

Nice try, FBI.
