I'm thankful for the opportunities we have, for the kindness in the air, and for the society that made stuffing my face today possible. Wishing everyone the same :)

Happy holiday season to all in the US!

Just hit the 1 year mark a couple months ago and I'm at my limit. I haven't been able to focus at work to the point that I'm getting nothing done despite taking time off. Who here has been in this situation before? I'm thinking of making more drastic changes like rolling off of my project if I decide that this isn't sustainable.

One year ago this weekend my mother was dying of Covid 2000 miles away from me. On Mother's Day we were told to make a decision to either consent to an invasive surgery that may do nothing or put her on hospice. She died on her own while my siblings and I tried to decide. I need to crawl into a cave this weekend until this holiday passes.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).
