The higher up I get the more it sucks. I wanted to be "senior" but I feel like I'm failing. I assume this is everyone's experience? Or am I just bad at my job? At this level I am constantly dealing with crises, internal and external, and on the hook with problems daily. Everything is my fault and there is so much ... drama. I guess that's what the money is for? This is normal when you're senior right?!

Yes, that’s what the money is for. 9 to 5 and then some is to manage one dysfunctional team or project after another. Don’t let it phase you!

Ive been using botox fairly consistently for 10 yrs and m happy with the results. However, for financial reasons Im thinking of taking a break for 12 months to save the extra money.

Will stopping botox for 12 moths undo all the progress I've made? (I am afraid of rapidly aging like the Nazi from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - nightmare fule).

Also, any adfordable akincare products I should use during the 12 months?

Note taking is not something I was ever particularly good at. Shorthand, symbols, abbreviations, multiple colors - they're all things I use haphazardly, and without consistency.

Anyone else spend time intentionally building this skill? Any good resources that helped you becoming a better note taker?

I need help. I'm dealing with multiple losses in the same week and having a hard time... I took some time off from work but I have no motivation to do anything. I don't want to go back to work and don't care about my work right now. I want to quit but I don't want to make a rash decision but need a long break. It's also not fair to my team that I can't give it my 100%. What can I do?
