I used to be so eager to work and I was extremely diligent before moving firms. Now I don't want to do anything and I slack off to the point where I hate myself. How do I get back into the grind? I want to contribute more to my team and do better but my mind wanders so easily...

I'm in tax so I did already take a break-- work is slowly starting to pick up now and I know there are things I can be doing right now but I can't get myself into it 😥 If my first-year self saw me he would probably say "suck it up you lazy crap, what's wrong with you?"

You want to perform well...you may just need a break. It's perfect time to take your PTO to relax.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?
