Fellow ladies: how do you manage *that time* at work? Been operating all week like I'm either going to explode into tears at any moment or burn the place down.

Exercise. Not just any exercise. High intensity interval training. Yes it is FOCKIN intense, but that is the point. I never have a bad day when I start my morning with a class from Barry's or Shred415. Or even if I do my own circuit at the gym. However, if youve never done HIIT before id suggest a class to whoop your ass the first go around. Not only does it improve your mood for about two days, but it also burns fat up to 36 hours after the workout as well. Win win.

Keep busy. Lots of short breaks to walk outside and have a cig. Try not to talk to anyone. And if it's really not happening, i leave early. There's no point in staying at work if nothing is getting done and you're in pain.

Recognize your need for rest. Your body is speaking to you - take a sick day, rest, nap. I would recommend you read the book Womancode by Alisa Vitti

when possible: sick day. when not possible: put on a fake-ass smile and try not to do either sobbing hysterically or burning it down in public. my emotions are all extra heightened from infertility drugs (woo!) and I definitely needed a totally-out-of-control-really-intense-full-on sob after this week.

haz a sign that says: approach with caution. v. bitey. works a treat.

Take a PM pill that way you don't have to think about it.

*Medical Records Requests / Reducing Expenses / HITECH*
I recently left my corporate paralegal role to return to a small personal injury firm. I was shocked to learn that the HITECH fee no longer applies if a client requests their medical records be sent to a third-party (e.g. attorney). Has anyone had any success modifying their HITECH request template for clients so there IS a fee limitation AND the records are sent directly to their attorney? Paying $100+ for hospital records is sickening.

So, a spot I made (concept to completion) got shelved due to COVID forcing the client’s marketing plan to change. During that time, my partner and I were laid off. Recently, the spot aired, but the agency credits a different team for the work – me, my parter, and my CDs aren’t listed. Do I ask the agency to correct it? Just throw it in my book with explanation? Just take the L and chalk it up to that being how the industry is?
