My head feels clouded and heavy. Nothing has really happened I'm just tired from work (at least that's what I think). You know, like so tired that it's even harder to sleep? I do sleep though, but it doesn't feel like that refreshing sleep. I slept early yesterday and lying in but still don't feel good. Anyone experience this? What do you do?

December feels like a country song. Two dogs died on the 1st. A hard rain exposed latent roof damage and collapsed ceiling in two rooms. Stove, fridge and water heater all went out on the same day last week. Yesterday my spouse said they needed a break from the chaos through the holidays and left. Today a positive covid test. And 7 deals trying to close before year end requiring my full attention so none of the aforementioned can get any attention.

Associates, don’t let this become you.

I started working out and cleaned up my diet with the main goal being weight loss, but I'm really frustrated.

How do I find the motivation to keep going when I feel like the progress is so minimal?

He got offended and told me God told him to find a new job that’s less toxic. I could go on, but I’m sure we all experienced someone this dense.

Anyone else deal with this?

For those who lived in SF and/or NY before, do you have a preference? NY is great for finance opportunities but heard it's super cut throat. SF is great for tech opportunities and it seems more likely for females to find a relationship here compared to NY because more males than females here. Just by looking online, both places are comparable for rent and are small in apartment sizes. I applied to both finance companies and tech companies doing finance and can't decide what location is better
