Any point going to the office M-Th?

Dunno about you, but I like to talk to people in the office about projects.

Half office half home

Slopes ⛷⛷⛷

Look through bills and photos from vacation. Stay close communication with staffer. Reach out to people via emails and send up phone call. Read books and PD. Look for training for the upcoming year.

Working from home on internal initiatives..start new project on Monday. I have no intentions of going into the office this week.

Anyone else feel like family law is toxic and detrimental to the attorney’s health/quality of life? My client was served w/ an order of protection against her—her ex is abusive and is gearing up for a custody battle. Of course the OP was filled with outrageous lies. My home-office phone and cell were ringing from 9:00pm- 12 am after she was served…..I am in my first trimester of pregnancy with my 2nd kid and suddenly feel like I don’t want to/cannot handle this type of toxicity.…continued….

Is anyone living on different floors with ~1 year old? Does it work, PROs, CONs? Our master bedroom is upstairs. There are two bedrooms downstairs so I always thought we’d use one of those rooms as our bedroom so we’re on the same floor with baby but it seems husband wants to stay upstairs. And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?
