Just talked to the DC Covid Trace Force. I am unexpectedly impressed. I had contact with someone who tested positive, and the Trace Force guy was like, “Can we send you food?

I’m usually pretty good about getting going, but I’m stalled out. Send me some tough love to get me going today.

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Took PTO starting last Monday for a family trip (got canceled bc of covid but kept the days). I’ve worked 8 hours ever day and will Monday and Tuesday of this week.

I’m in the final rounds with a small consulting firm based in TX, but unsure if jumping would be the wisest choice given the current economic conditions — of course, staying at Accenture does not mean I’m not at risk of being laid off if things take a turn for the worst.
