Is anyone working the full week this week? I feel like everyone is off and I am picking up the slack. Why is it so busy when there are only a few weeks left of the year?

Month end is always busy dealing with finances, definitely year end. It’s common for me to work more. It’s tough when others don’t realize we all may want to celebrate the holiday too.

I’m so ready to be done for the year but I’m definitely working until the end of the week… can’t wait for the holiday break!

Working through this week and off next completely. It’s not totally dead here, but enough people are off so that I have had to pick up a tiny bit more than I expected to, nothing crazy though. Next year I’ll just have to remember to get out of dodge before everyone else!

It's better to take days off earlier and start the new year earlier, learned hard way.

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
