My first reaction to any new work that comes my way is anxiety, fear and a flight response to try and get out of it. Then things are usually ok, but it’s a stressful way to work! Anyone else like me?

I always get super overwhelmed with a new assignment, feeling like I’m never going to be able to tackle it, then once I break it down into steps I see that it’s totally doable. I’ve learned to just never give an immediate reaction when someone asks me to do something until I’ve had a chance to think for a bit, and with partners I’ve worked with before I just straight up say ok cool, let me go think about this for a bit and then we’ll come back together to regroup.

I now look forward to new work!

It’s probably overwhelming on top of other responsibilities. I find the grass gets tall and it’s difficult to be innovative when I’m buried in other work but try to find time when you are feeling creative.

I feel the same. I’ve been pacing all day. It’s the newness of a project that is both, desirable and scary.

Same

I get that when I’m about to present esp in front of a large audience

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

If anyone is interested in taking a summer trip to Myrtle Beach from 7/29-8/5, I am renting out my timeshare with Marriott's OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes. This resort is right on the beach and offers many fun activities for the whole family! The two-bed, two-bath condo has a fully furnished kitchen and can fit up to 8 people. I am ideally looking for someone to rent it out for the entire week for about 3K total. Message me for more information!

So my spg points and nights have still not merged with my Marriott account. Anyone else having this issue?

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Curious what your title structure is for roles focused specifically on organic social media (or does it always require paid expertise?).

Any insights and perspectives welcome :)
