Is it normal to document every hour of what you're doing at work? One hour of writing test scripts, 2 hours of meetings, etc, etc. Thinking this is too granular. Anyone else having this issue?

Is it a government client? That's typically where I've heard of that happening.

lawyers count time in 6min intervals. its a billable hours thing. so on one hand, hourly isnt weird. on the other hand, prob not super necessary for consulting

Not a government client either. I see no value in it.

We had to do it on a weekly basis for one client.

My goodness i had an SM like that. It was such micro management. And none of the other teams were doing this. But he wanted to try and impress his manager. It was dumb

Daily is more appropriate if you have an engagement where you are doing a lot of coordination work and/or your manager/client loves micromanagement.

Depends on the client. Acn typically doesn't require this

That isn't how Accenture does it, you on a performance plan?

No

BAH does it in 15 min increments depending on contract. By the minute in DC

Depends on client and industry, just be detailed and do it

This is from Accenture not client.

Sounds like you got a control freak for your Engagement Director or Partner

Is anyone living on different floors with ~1 year old? Does it work, PROs, CONs? Our master bedroom is upstairs.

And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

I have a lot of student debt from law school. I’ve refinanced a couple of times and received the best fixed rate available, but I’ve seen others refinance with a variable rate which of course is lower. I’ve read some other comments of people refinancing at a super low variable rate....isn’t this risky? Of course I am afraid of going variable and then the interest rates going up a lot. Am I missing something?
