🎄 Merry Christmas from my chaotic work-life balance! 🎄
My current "bowl" looks a little something like this:
Base: Endless emails and Slack pings (even on holidays 😩)
Protein: Coffee, coffee, and more coffee to power through
Veggies: Those "quick" Zoom calls that turn into hour-long meetings
Toppings: Holiday stress, last-minute deadlines, and a sprinkle of family obligations
Dressing: Pure exhaustion with a dash of forced cheer

Working on a regular desk and my laptop has been killing my back and neck for last few years. Finally spent a couple hundred dollars on a standing desk, wireless keyboard, and back/neck heating pad to alleviate the pain. Very hopeful working will be much better now.
