Having no work, and no work out there to get is so annoying. Basically sitting online for 8 hours to show that you’re “available”

Ask if you could help with business development or firm initiatives, pick up the phone to connect with directors or partners, learn a new skill for your engagements, read up on your industry or global news, etc etc. Boom, that’s a couple hours right there

Up to you to make the most of your time no matter what the business environment is. Be grateful you have a job that currently pays you to sit around waiting for work and for you to actually feel annoyed about it. Periodically make sure your computer remains in “active mode” while you...Read a book. Watch Netflix. Work out. Call up a friend or family member. Paint. Build a shelf. Foster a dog. Learn how to roast a duck. Seriously there are endless possibilities.

I’ve actually been cooking a lot more! Made homemade enchiladas last week and meatballs this week. Just saying I like helping the team out and hate the sidelines is all!

I’m sorry. That must feel demoralizing. Wanna trade places? I have way too much work and they expect everything done yesterday.

You all really just go straight for the throat. Happy to have a job obviously. I’d rather be working busy season hours. I’m just saying it’s frustrating that projects got pushed and I can’t help out. That is it. Not a woah is me, just would rather be helping than sitting the sidelines. Stay safe everyone
