Happy December everyone! Do you have a little something special that’s on your Christmas list? If you could ask for one thing for Christmas what would that be? Or perhaps you’re working a little extra for yourself or a little treat! I hope you all have a fabulous Monday. It’s always difficult after a holiday weekend, but we can do this.

I struggled a lot getting out of bed this morning! Overcoming that hurdle though, everything else has been going well today. I’m always stuck on a bunch of practical stuff for Christmas, but that just isn’t really fun! I might splurge on some self-care things, bubble bath, that sort of stuff. What about anyone else? I could use some ideas! 😂

Oh me too it was not easy this morning ! Idk for me I really don’t know I’m going to say maybe some nice perfume or some new adidas sambas. Nothing too crazy !

My Christmas wish came true.

At least one insurance company saw how harmful limiting anesthesia would be to patients and reversed their decision.

Granted, there was that murder that happened the day before, but I reckon that was coincidence. 🤔

Wow ! I had no idea this was a thing ! Limiting anesthesia?! Are these people losing their minds !!!!!

OP if I could ask for anything, anything at all it would be a Celine handbag. I have been eyeing one for quite some time but I just can't fathom spending that much money on a bag. Its nice to dream though, maybe santa will bring it to me this year hahahaha.

Maybe it's because I'm in tax, but I've never dealt with these unreasonable Partners people speak of. I've never been told I can't go on vacation, or I've never been yelled at for not being in the office long enough. I've also never been iced out because of one mistake here or there.

During my first year, I struggled, and the partners I worked with went out of their way to take their time with me to help me learn, as did some of the senior-level Associates.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
