It's Monday and National Banana day! I like to start the week with confidence and good intentions. I also like to take on one thing at a time to not get overwhelmed, but things may turn with just one call or one nasty interaction.

After a situation turns sour and if I can, I walk away from my work area, take in a deep breath, and try to let it go. Sometimes it works and sometimes it takes a little longer. How do you recover from a less than desirable event at work?

I go through a little process. Acknowledge it, analyze, and act. Sometimes there is something I could have done differently, sometimes not. But giving me that time to quickly go through makes it easier to move on. How often do you find yourself having those? I could have multiple a day or none for weeks.

Thank you - that method sounds awesome. I find that it's quite cyclical and most likely related to the phases of the moon.

Either walking away for a mental reset, or throwing myself wholly into a task that will distract me from whatever went sideways. Neither is a magic bullet, but just doing SOMETHING always seems to help. If give myself the time to ruminate on it, I'll just end up wasting the entire day.

I agree! The worst thing you can do is re-live it over and over rather than letting it go. I try to walk away, but if the phones are crazy, I can't. What would you do?

I like to take a day of PTO to reset mentally.

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?

Just got back from a week long trade show. I am a very young adult. And from everything I saw, it honestly looks likes every adult gets bored later in their relationship and cheats. What I saw during my time there was insane and honestly kind of scarred me a little.

I've submitted my latest paper to the largest journal in my field, but it's taking forever for them to review it. I feel like they're just stalling me because they don't want to publish it. But if they don't publish it, then who will? And what happens if someone else finds out about my findings before they're published?
