I’ve gotten to the point that if I’m not completely slammed busy with work sweating my ass off, I feel bored and have caught myself before asking for more work, trying to remember to enjoy the lulls

If you’re like me, it’s bc they’ve trained you - gotten you into a groove where you’ve now streamlined your personal life, did away with hobbies and mainly take social outings in singular extreme chunks. Make sure you allow yourself time to take up space beyond the office. Even if it sometimes seeps into the office.

Consider relaxation as an essential part of honing your craft. Your brain needs time to reboot! And if you're having a hard time negotiating that idea, do some research. Watch some pop culture videos. Thumb through some ads. Read some news. This will help inform your future work! Take it easy, OP. ♥️

Enjoy the downtime as they come. No one needs that constant workload.

Everyone says enjoy the downtime. Unless I'm on vacay or coming off a pitch, I hate downtime unless the alternative is busy work that has no chance of being a portfolio piece.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.
