I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have been seriously struggling to stay alert and focused at work. It's a desk job, so I've been trying to get up and walk around every 15 minutes, which does help wake me up, but it completely disrupts my focus and makes me feel so inefficient. What are some other ways I can battle this fatigue while working full-time?

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)
