How do I handle busy season with a minimum weekly requirement of 55 hours in my first trimester and I’m only 5.5 weeks pregnant. So tired and don’t feel like myself and no one at work knows bc it’s so early

You’re doing it wrong. Need to get pregnant right after busy season and then take maternity leave at during the next busy season.

I would definitely see about getting some sort of reduced schedule because that would be exhuasting for anyone but especially if you are pregnant.

Push through, get as much sleep as you can

Pack snacks to help with the nausea. Get as much sleep after work as possible. It sucks. I've done 1st trimester during busy season twice (my other was third trimester during busy season, which wasn't much better, but at least I wasn't nauseous). Don't be afraid to tell someone if you need to. I always waited til 10 weeks, but being a decade away from my pregnancies, I really think most women would feel more supported in their first trimester if it wasn't such a secret.

Cell E2= 'plm' Cell F2 = 'y1'
Cell G2= 'mhn' Cell H2 = 'z1'

The combination of the 'W','X','Y' and 'Z' codes identity a specific trend

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌

Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
