Currently commuting from Newport Beach to Beverly Hills 4x a week for work. I thought I could last till lease expiration (May) but it's really getting to me. Any recs on neighborhoods with sub 1.2k rent? This will be the max I can afford while still paying for my Newport apartment

I had to return an item today (last day), rembrd at 5pm. Drove to the store before I'd forget. There was "rush hour traffic".... As I was sitting there waiting in traffic, I wondered why would I want to go back to office every day and rush to leave at like 5 to beat the traffic and get to my kids school on time? Then a rushed dinner, bed, more work at home later, followed up early morn waking up getting ready to again drive for an hr...
I miss interactions bt the alternative is such rushed life!

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD. I'm 31 and found this only because b school and post mba consulting job was/is much more challenging than anything I did before. What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since. I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

Now that the craziness of 2021 is firmly in the mirror, what is your class year and when do you normally stop working at night, on average? For me 6 to 7 is the average. Have to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. one or two days a week to make that happen though and it may not last through Q4..

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?
