I'm a bit of the introverted type and come off to my coworkers in the wrong way. What are the top 3 things I can do to be likeable?

Without wanting to sound mean: don't worry so much about being "likeable". Changing behaviour in a way that one things will make them appeal to others almost invariably leads to cringeworthy awkwardness. If you offend someone, just apologise. But most importantly, be yourself. People will get used to your personality and you'll get more respect by being honest and consistent :)

When someone comes to your desk to talk to you, stop what you're doing and turn to give them your full attention. Have something ready to talk about if you get stuck in an elevator conversation (weekend plans, Olympics, some news story). Go to team happy hours for at least a little while and don't talk only about work.

Agree with this. But to be helpful - be nice at least. Most people like nice people.

How does hourly contract lawyering work? I’m on a contract through a recruiting firm before the company hires me directly. My pay is hourly but I get time and a half for over time. I’m currently a policy atty for a think tank and did prosecution before that so I’ve never “billed.” I regularly check and respond to emails on my phone in the evening after work. Do I include that on my timesheet??

I have issues “delegating” or simply assigning tasks, which as a Manager is a whole thing.

When I assign a task i try to be super clear with instructions, give examples, help them get started…but I still feel bad. Idk. Anyone goes through this?

It's always tough, but this year it has felt impossible to stay on top of grading. Sure, there are online quizzes the computer can grade for you, but that data is so limited. What about the steps they took to get that answer on the math problem? I need to see it to know what they missed... Between submission of blurry photos and going through the process of uploading, downloading, and squinting to see their work, it takes me 20x longer to grade work for my digital kids. #thestruggle

After 6 years as a community manager I feel exhausted. I've noticed my ideas are not innovative anymore. I'm tired of replying to the same inquiries over and over again. I even stopped using social media during my spare time because I can't handle it anymore.
I know burnout is a common thing and you'll tell me to stay away from social media for 5 days or something. But is this a feeling that will one day go away or is this just the end of my career as I know it?
