So I went on Amazon to buy The Partner Track by Helen Wan since I wanted to read the book before the new Netflix tv show based on it comes out and I found another book abt a woman lawyer called Partner Track (no The) by Cat Wynn. I decided to read that first and I must say it’s really good so far! Veryyyyy *spicy* if you know what I mean. Just wanted to share!

Federal Consultant who transferred from PDM to PPD this past PY. Got a 3. S&O General Management. Any guess on what my raise and bonus would be?

So I posted a bit ago about getting IV hydration and vitamins. You guys gave me the courage to try it.

And I kind of wish I could post before/after pics because apparently I was very bloated. I've been focusing on keeping up with my hydration at home. Thx ladies!
