Need prayer. I’m stretched very thin between work and home. If I stay late, I get crap from my spouse. If I go home on time, I get crap at work and things blow up. I can’t do this anymore.

I’ve been there too. Its tough knowing you’re always disappointing someone no matter what you do. I did some soul searching to figure out what or who was most important for me to be happy in the long run. Praying for you.

Same boat. Something needs to give. All I can do it prioritize and talk to my spouse so they understand in more detail what’s pulling me in at work. I don’t have the answer. Just in the same boat

🙏🙏🙏 it’s not easy. Keep praying and receiving prayer. Work to manage people’s expectations. That’s the only thing you can continue to tangibly do. You’re doing great. Hang in there

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.

I’m a first generation professional and have been in this industry for only a few years. Anyone have an suggestions for dealing with discouragement and burnout?
