Does anyone else’s shoulders and neck get super stiff/tired within a day of working? I stretch, foam roll everyday and have an ergonomic chair with my monitors at eye level. Not sure what else to do.

Sadly the only answer here is to work out and move more during the day. Run and lift (compound movements).

There’s gotta be more to it, I’ve seen plenty of people grind for days without nearly as much tightness as I get within a day.

I use a pair of lacrosse balls inside a little net so that they don't separate (you can also use a sock hah), lie on the floor with my head over it, and just do little chin tucks to massage out the kinks. It doesn't cure the pain (the same way a foam roller wouldn't) but it's a useful way to self massage

Great idea, I have a racketball I use for the same purpose. But I feel it’s more a remedy than a preventative measure.

Hows your posture? I find when I start hunching my neck/shoulders she’s really sore.

Posture’s so-so. In the beginning I’m fine but a few hours in I begin to tire out and can’t keep my body aligned as much.

Standing desk

I have one. It’s the same issue, get tired after a while.

My first prenatal visit was billed as “absence of menstruation” instead of “prenatal visit”, therefore my insurance is not covering it (insurance only covers prenatal visits). Is this normal? Did the doctor make a mistake with coding?

Rant: I finally got a baby registry started and sent the link to family... and immediately was told all the things I need on there that I don't have (including things I'm opting to just NOT GET, like an electric pump - why is my nursing preference up for debate????).

My first therapy appointment tomorrow! I’ve never dealt with depression before having my second kid and my PPD was/is rough! Filling out the intake form I basically had to list out all the things I’ve dealt with - rape, mom issues, death in family during pandemic, kid hit by car, ppd, and a slew of over things… looking forward to working through these things over time, whatever that might look like.

PwC 🐠: Whats covered under gym/health fees on travel days? Classpass?

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

I terminated a former employee for consistently missing deadlines, v. poor quality of work (basic spelling mistakes), costed me $500k in errors and subsequently called him a “bottom-tier performer” to my girlfriend. Girlfriend thinks I’m being mean and not kind by calling people that because she thinks I’m putting them down. Note: never called any other team members that because they do good work. I don’t think I’ve said anything out of line - am I in the wrong here?

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*
