Y’all have time to eat?

At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?

That wasn’t my schedule, that was the one proposed by your post (roughly)

7-11:59pm if you add the third round of work that starts after the 6pm coffee

I have a 1 year old and don’t know how people do it if both parents are working and commuting. I’d be losing 90 minutes a day to a commute and this doesn’t even factor in all the extra prep time (pack lunch/coffee, more time to get ready, etc)

like

Just wait until that 1 year old is 10 years old and has a sibling and school starts anywhere between 7:30-8:30am, gets out by 3pm, and then there’s various sports and other youth activities they want to be involved with in the evening. Work from home quickly becomes a requirement.

Ok but really. Consulting was never a commuting job to begin with

BC1, when I was working in DC, I lived in Arlington a whopping 6 miles away from the client office. 45 minute commute with DC traffic. 1.5 hours on a bad day. Not to mention the time getting ready for work. If you’re suggesting I should have bought a new condo in the center of the city to cut down my commute, no thanks. We change projects every few months.

WFH is 645AM to 945PM if you include all the free extra IT hours you put in, calls with Europe and Asia bc we are so happy to team with you over Video

Think that’s uniquely your experience. I worked with international clients and working from home was a godsend. Can’t imagine doing it all in the office

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
