Honestly yes! Being a nerd just means you're knowledgeable and excited about a topic. The definition hasn't changed but the stigma around it has. it's much "cooler" to be a nerd instead of a case to be made fun of

Might be the wrong bowl but finding it extremely difficult to focus on work post busy season. It’s been 2 weeks since we filed and I’m still taking lots of naps and breaks (I’m talking like 3-4 cumulative hrs worked during the day). Idk if I’m taking longer to recover from busy season bc I’m getting old or if I’m over public accounting (but then where do i go). Tried to schedule time with a therapist but everyone has a months-long waitlist so next step might be trying to find a life/career coach
