I’m just kinda feeling lost, a bit like a failure , and maybe tired . I’m 30 f, single, moved to a new town, studying for the cpa, had falling out with the first two friends I made in new town, deeply missing my friends from back home, work has been a lot - job hopping . The partner was so excited and quick to give me an offer. I feel like I’m 💯 at this point just disappointing him. Idk what advice someone could give me , but has anyone else gone through “just surviving period”

I’m excited to marry my SO in a few months but I have severe stage fright and do not like being the center of attention. Any advice on how to reduce the anxiety and just enjoy the day?

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Does anyone manage without having a nanny? Kids age 0-10

Just need to vent.

My SO was going through some issues over a year ago and decided to use the counselor services provided through her workplace. She mentioned that her plan only covered some sessions so she was trying to figure how she could continue counseling. That was that.

We've been trying to better our savings now that we have a baby and I've been trying to figure out our expenses for months now but I'm always off. I finally realized a few months ago that she continued counseling. More..

Any ideas on how to keep kids social distanced while walking in line? Teaching personal space in line is difficult in normal years, but I'm not sure how I'll teach them to stay 6ft. apart as they walk or wait in line...

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

Best thing to watch to bring in the new year? My family is drunk/exhausted and will def not make it past 11pm.

Dropped off my kids to school this morning and just felt unsettled. It’s so hard to concentrate on work today.

How do you deal with trying to live and establish a life of your own but also making sure to grateful and aware of the sacrifices your family has made to get you to where you are now?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I have recovered from Corona Virus. Its 6 weeks now and I can tell you that the after effects are real. I have anxiety that I will never get over the fatigue, brain fog, inability to form sentences and words and headaches which make my work days very difficult to get thru.

Calling September "suicide prevention month" will not reduce the number of suicides. In fact, it might increase it, given the frequency of suicide posts on social media.

Do we have leave encashment policy in PWC at the end of every year.
If yes up to how many leaves we can encash?

Anyone else get frustrated when the partner brags about their billable hour amount for the month? Like congrats, you get to bill .2 for each piece of mail. You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.

Are text message breakups acceptable? Better than complete ghosting right

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Hi interviewing for risk advisory role (senior) next week , any tips or advices ? Salary expectations ? 📍australia

Minor confession

I hate when I respond to a post and people keep responding to it by NOT “replying” but adding another comment. 🤡

It sucks when you see a photo of a recent ex with someone else. Heart raced for a few mins and felt adrenaline. Guess I really liked her a lot 😔

This guy Elon is hilarious. Trolls everyone, sleeps with people's wives.
When I grow up I wanna be just like him.
Even roasting other billionaires like Bezos and Gates.
I always thought to reach to the top you'd have to act a certain way, but this guy simply does what he wants and does not care.

Is it bad luck to pawn a promise ring?

Why is Legacy status accepted as a reasonable part of the application process yet Affirmative Action isn’t? Both are the result of things you had no control over. . .

My Senior Manager quit on us a couple of months ago, now my manager just did as well yesterday.

I'm in a small firm, where there is no one with tenure anymore. The new Senior Manager just started and does not know the clients either.

Last busy season was hell because we were short staffed (only 3 of us), and I fear that next one will be even worse because we are in a market where we do not have a ton of people we could hire.

This feels like a new job and I'm not liking it at all.

After ~20-30 min on a call, I stop paying attention.
