Lately I have felt myself losing motivation at work and approaching my projects with a bad attitude (not excited, low energy, kinda negative). This isn’t like me, but idk how to fix it. Any tips?

I feel you on this one!
I’ve worked on the same accounts with the same people going on four years now. I’m guessing I just need a change of scenery but also don’t want to leave the account because I do enjoy the client and the work we do for them... also working at a small agency doesn’t leave much for options. Sorry this isn’t helpful advice but maybe it’s nice to hear it’s not just you?

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?

So about 5 years ago I met this guy at a networking event in my current city. We both discovered we had lived in NYC at the same time. He’s super cute, so kind of formed a crush on him. At the time we helped each other with job leads, etc. because we were both unemployed off and on. I invited him to industry events. Then our communication fell off around 2017 when we both found steady work. Also it seemed I was reaching out more than him, so I started reaching out less and stopped the invites.

It’s not the amount he sent (I would have preferred 50$). But it’s the fact that he didn’t consult me in the amount. He apologized but I am now wondering if I am too cheap.
