I took the day off today just to have a break.
Went for a 20k run, had a donut and took a nap. Best day ever. You should take some time for yourself

I feel like as an associate it’s hard to take a day off so easily. It’s a small team of 4 and if I’m not there to develop the decks - then it just falls on me more. My C and M just review what I work on and “sprinkle” their thoughts. I just can’t wait for this project to end

Imagine you got hit by or a bus or won the powerball. The firm would figure out a way to replace you in an instant. Take a day off. It’s good for your mental health.

Yeah I hear ya on this. Definitely look into taking some time off. Work will always be there. Book a trip, you work hard, enjoy yourself

I feel you on this. Haven't taken a day off aside from firm wide holidays. I feel like I'll add more to my plate if I take time off just given how this project is scoped with myself leading the workstream and responsible for getting deliverables complete.

*Work from home

I have another one week to go to join EY GDS. But I haven't got tagged any counselor yet, and no onboarding procedure intimation. The HR with whome I used to talk during interview, is not picking up the call. What is happening? It feels like I didn't get the offer. Very bad.

Has anyone tried getting out of their lease and been successful? I’ve been isolating out of the city for 3mo and will be here at least another 3mo, if not more.

Any successful angles/negotiation tactics/DC laws that worked in your favor (relative to the public health crisis/pandemic) would be greatly appreciated. For context, lease technically ends Dec 9, but am looking to get out before then
