I don’t feel like getting out of bed and working today.
Half my team and most of my client team work offshore so I start each day with 50+ emails. The second I log in and my status turns green, I get multiple teams messages with too many fires to put out. Also have 11 meetings today. I should take a sick day lol.

Update I’ve been logged in for 18 minutes and pinged with 5 issues

I feel like your email situation isn’t that bad if most of the work/questions arise outside of your normal day. I’d suggest trying to prioritize whatever overlap time you have for the legit fires. When I was running offshore teams I usually had an offshore lead(s) or manager that I could leverage for this. Then just handle the emails as you can. As a PO I feel like your job is to be in meetings, though.

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.
