Ok, so I'm seeing colleagues for the first time in two years and I have gained a little weight. (At least 3 dress sizes). I'm a confident cool person but there's a little bit of me that dies wondering if they notice and think worse of me.

Nope. They're too busy worrying about how much weight they gained. We're all in the same boat here.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
