Had a breakdown in the office bathroom today. It wasn't even a particularly tough day, just that straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back feeling. Anyone else hitting their limit?

You can always quit and go work for legal aid or teach or some shit. This career isn't for bathroom cryers...

This career isn’t for people who don’t know how to have empathy for others.

Soooo how are we feeling about booking flights to Europe for early spring? Less so worried about getting covid as I’m boosted but more so about worsening restrictions. I’m looking at countries that have already announced they aren’t changing restrictions BUT the flights have layovers in countries that are (ie UK, France, Germany). Also wondering when to book as prices for those flights seem to be skyrocketing.
