Diagnosed with mild bell’s palsy (nerve on one side of face is damaged - can’t move it) and I have a happy hour tomorrow. Should I skip it? Should I ask to work from home while I recover?

My mom had that! You need to take it seriously or it can have a lasting effect. Please rest and do a lot of facial massages. My mom saw her esthetician nearly every day for a couple months and saw a huge improvement and a year later it was completely gone. I met someone else that didn’t seek any treatment for it and it became permanent. I hope it gets better!

If you don't feel comfortable going, yes.

Sorry to hear that OP. I would ask to work from home for sure. After all your health is the most important thing you have. Think long term. Not to scare you, but you have to treat it well to avoid any complications. Advise with your doctor and work remotely;) good luck. Hope you recover soon enough

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?

Heading into 2023, here are some phrases I'm eliminating:

1. "No worries."
2. "No problem."
3. "Sorry to bother you."
4. "Does this make sense?"
5. "Sorry, I'll fix that right now."

Here's what I'm replacing them with: ⤵
1. My pleasure.
2. Of course, happy to help.
3. When you have a minute, can I get your opinion on ____?
4. Does this help you clarify things?
5. Thank you for catching that!
