Not all, but I was pretty aggressive, so I'm happy with the results. I'll just tack the others onto next year and hopefully finish stronger.

That’s a great way to look at things. “Be proud of the progress that you did make.” I’m definitely going to use that

Not quite, but frankly I accomplished more than I thought I would, so I'm calling it a win. 100% better than last year, which is always the goal. In competition with myself is how I try to think about it.

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting.

Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well
