Was working late this evening and I accidentally spilled water on my laptop.

I’m currently traveling - so I’m heading to target to buy a keyboard to finish the job.

What’s your “oh shit” moment?

Missed my flight to my interview at D. All other flights were full and was like 22 on standby for the last flight out so I bit the bullet and bought a ticket on another airline with my own money.

Made it to my interview and got the job 🙃

Get onsite to image a custodian’s iPhone. Start the process and realize I forgot the charger for the forensic laptop. End up having to leave it with client’s counsel imaging while I ran to the (luckily) Walmart next door to buy a universal charger so I could plug it in and finish the collection. Real nail biter

Was seated in bulkhead, slipped my laptop under the seat at takeoff to do some work. Flying to Orlando, got diverted to Tampa, figured it was easier to just rent a car and drive the rest. Popped up, grabbed my bag from the overhead and walked off the plane.... Didn’t realize I’d left my laptop til the next morning

Red eye for final interview from SFO to Newark delays by 5 hrs. Stressed and in hives in the flight as we wait to take off. Land in Newark at 7, interview at 8. Ran through airport, taxi into Manhattan to arrive at Rockefeller in my pajamas along with the other interviewees right at 8. Was given 5 minute grace to fix myself and brush my teeth, walked in and killed my interview, and the rest is history. 😤😌

I just started a new job. I left my previous job because the environment wasn’t healthy and almost all of my colleagues left. The team at my new job is nice but the nature of the work doesn’t align with my interests/is not as unexpected and I’m struggling to stay motivated. I realize I made a poor decision. How bad would it be to quit after only 2-4 weeks? Or, instead of quitting should I ask if I can move internally?

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
