How do you stay mentally balanced in this job? Very rarely do things go according to plan, but it’s hard not to take that personally. 95% of the time it’s not my doing but it’s our mess to clean

Unfortunately part of the territory - I’m now in strategy but still doing this role. Sounds sadistic but embrace it - the bigger the mess, the bigger the opportunity. I find it you try to break up personal and professional and don’t bring it home with you then it gets much easier. Set a cut off point (ie 6:30pm) where no Work gets done post this then it helps to establish the boundary

I’m such a slut for CVS coupons, and lemme tell u, $5 is not the normal amount! Usually u get around $2-3 back, or a couple years ago they gave out $20 for getting a flu shot in my college town.
