How are you doing? How’s your work load? I am pushing through. Trying to keep up with the rapid changes and emergency asks while being grateful to have a job.

I feel that. Things have been nonstop lately and it’s hard to find breathing room, but I’m trying to stay grounded and focus on what I can control. Definitely grateful to be employed, even if it’s a bit overwhelming right now.

When things are non stop I try to have gratitude w. The fact that I have billable hours 🥳

Taking a bit of a step back next week, hopefully anyways. Has been a crazy week, so many last minute things, other people are getting way behind which skews the whole project timeline. We’ve actually had some meetings about that and think some people are going to be seeing consequences over it.

What does a step back look like? Yea.. last minute things are exhausting. I’m glad they’ll be seeing consequences for it. You don’t deserve the stress as a result of their actions.

Things have actually been pretty chill for me the past couple of weeks. My boss has been out on vacation, so it's been business as usual. Nothing really exciting, nothing too challenging. I've just been working on my job and my own personal side business.

It’s always a double edged sword. Too much down time isn’t good either. But enjoy this time that you have a couple of weeks isn’t that bad. Last year when I had a few months of down time I was getting worried

That's a funny meme, but, in fairness, it's possible to meet every deadline and still appreciate sunsets. It's just a matter of deciding what matters and then making time for it. And when I get to the point where I feel like I don't have time for things I enjoy, I remind myself that being busy is a good way to be. I can remember being broke and having lots of time on my hands. But having time when you can't afford to do anything is not such a sweet deal.

I felt that image, in my soul. I often find myself working around the clock and I don’t know why I don’t know what I’m working for and I feel like I’m missing so much of life. Just take it on all the projects I can trying to grow a career and is it worth it

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.
