This year’s holiday season seemed to hit me like a freight train feeling so overwhelmed with wrapping up work, getting ready for Christmas, and just solo parenting this week with my partner out of town. Cherry on top partner wants us to go on trip next weekend a trip which is actually the last thing I want - only adding to that feeling of more things to do with less and less time. Sigh anyone else?

Yes, thanksgiving being at the end of November reallllyyy rushed everything in december. And yikes to your partner wanting to take a trip after you’ve been dealt the brunt of solo parenting and Christmas prep.

You’re totally in the right to say this isn’t the time for a getaway— oh btw honey here’s a list of things I need you to help with during this hectic season! Give them a list and tell them to get to it!

Thank you for helping me feel like I’m not I’m crazy 💛

Why not just tell your partner exactly what you wrote here?

You are right- I needed to get my thoughts organized (writing here) so I didn’t get emo or po’ed when we talk . I know he really wants to do this trip so might just send him solo

Thoughts on unlimited PTO?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I have 60 days to elect COBRA under employer A, which leaves me with 2 days where I wouldn’t have coverage (Jan30/31). What would you do in this situation? (Cont)
