Just got told that I'll be staying out of town an extra week to finish up this audit. Gf was not pleased to hear, as it's already been a month. How do y'all do it??

Make sure you have some sort of plan that you work out with resource manager. Your career and is just one piece of your life - if you are willing to put in the work because you think it will pay off later, then maybe it's worth it. I'll say that there are always other jobs out there. Other GFs too for that matter if she isn't supportive of your life plan.

No no no. She's definitely someone you want to hold onto. It's concerning when you s/o stops caring when you come around.

Missing and controlling are two very different things. That can be through getting angry. Making him feel guilty etc. move on if she is anything other than just bummed she won't see you.

Thanks - needed to hear that. Probably time to move on to a new girl then. I'm doing nothing close to 120 nights/year. More like 50 max.

Figure out priorities. If GF is a keeper, come up with a plan, try to travel less, talk to her and show her you are doing what you can to travel less.
If GF is just a GF and easily replaceable, focus on your work.
You will know when things matter.

All about being able to explain to your gf. Be like "baby, I know you like to be in bed with me every night, but my career is also important. You are also important to me too, that's why I got you this dildo for those nights where you are thinking of me". That's all u gotta do

After doing freelance for the last two years, I’ve decided to go back to the corporate world. I’ve been applying a ton of places but keep getting turned down immediately - not even a first interview and I can’t figure out why.

I feel like I have a lot of good accolades as far as awards, a graduate certificate program board I’m on, really good stats from my previous work, etc.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
