While nighttime me is like "you dirty rat, did you really sigh us up for 5 hour leadership seminar?! and agree to co-chair a diversity virtual event?!!!

It's 8pm and we still have work to review that was due yesterday, we've only had a granola bar (ok it was a snickers) and a handful of pretzels, a gallon of coffee, and are probably completely out of food but will somehow have to stay up until these last deliverables are complete.

It must be contagious. I celebrate 25 years with the firm tomorrow and the best advice I can give is to be aware those are your tendencies and check yourself. Try not to be impulsive in your replies and instead put aside some time to intentionally assess whether saying yes is the right answer. Good luck. It’s not easy. But glad to have someone like you at the firm who has energy and best intentions.
