Do people still have that feeling of excitement when working in this industry? Or does everything just become normal? I feel like recently I’m not phased by anything but I’m hoping something I’m actually passionate about comes around soon

My excitement has turned into stress and anxiety 😆 I love what I do, but the industry itself can be pretty stressful a lot of the time.

So stressful! I found my first grey hair not long after joining the industry and I fully think they’re related

I still get excited by parts of the job. Some of it has become routine over time, and that's just normal. The work is never really the same every day, however, and when I get up in the morning I'm never really sure what I'll have to know or learn or read about or write about that day. If you're a curious person it's not the worst way to spend your time.

That’s actually a really nice way to view it! I think I need to find enjoyment in the smaller things for sure

I get this. At first everything feels like a rush, then it becomes routine. For me, excitement comes back when I find projects that align with my values, not just deadlines. Maybe passion shows up in waves, not all at once.

Hahah this is how I feel, I’m hoping the tide comes in soon

Passion cannot always come from the work — sometimes you just have to bring your own energy instead of waiting for it.

Yeah I get this, sometimes I just want that excitement for my work too

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?

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.
