I know it is getting into the busier time of the year, but does anyone else feel like people are getting more and more demanding of things that don't really need to be. It's frustrating because all it does is upset everyone and makes working a little bit more miserable.

OMG YES OP. My boss has been driving me literally insane lately with all these requests and demanding that it is time sensitive when it is not. I don't know what is in the air around here but sometimes I want to scream at her to do it herself. I have been thinking lately about finding a new job because it is becoming too much.

It really does feel like everyone is more frantic lately. I don't know if it's the heat, or things are just getting busier, or what. But there really is a lot of tension in the air and it makes just doing day to day tasks more difficult than they need to be. Relax people, it's summer, no need to be totally crazy.

I am glad I am not the only one feeling this way. it's not like we are not going to see the due dates on these things, so we already know it's not time sensitive. I know work isn't supposed to be easy, and I am not looking for pity, but it's like if you keep driving us employees into the ground, that is how you lose good employees.

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!
