What are some ways to stop dreading work everyday? I’m beyond grateful that I have a job and have a source of income but I feel so drained every single day that I just dread having to do it all over again the next day.

Try to find sources of happiness outside of work- family, friends, the outdoors, exercise, hobbies. Make time for those people and things.

When I feel like that I know it’s time for me to find a new job. I don’t think anyone should feel this way regularly. Everyone should have the opportunity to work a job they enjoy, are good at, and that pays a livable wage. Everyone that’s not independently wealthy has to work so we all might as well be happy while doing it. It’s a matter of putting yourself first and knowing what works best for you and your skill set.

In the meantime while you still are at the current job I would do the bare minimum. If possible, take some time off or see a doc that provide whatever documentation is needed for extended leave. And make the most of the time you are not on the clock. Do whatever it is that brings you the greatest joy or relaxation, whichever you need at the time.

Specific question regarding cases: I’m realizing while practicing that there is no “correct” structure in any given case (i.e., it seems to me that your structure can be different to the solution, without being “wrong”). So how should I know that my structure is good/detailed enough? Any indicators?

Hi Everyone,
I hope life is treating you well.
I recently moved to Ottawa from Louisville, Kentucky, and I am looking for an accounting job in Ontario or Quebec. I have work experience in Tax& Finance and an MBA in Accounting. I was wondering if any of you could refer me for an open position in your company ( after we’ve had a chance to talk, of course) or put me in contact with a member of your hiring team.
Please let me know if any of you would be comfortable doing so.

Thanks,
Sarah

I think my brother is an idiot when it comes to his dating life. He recently started dating someone that the whole family loves - really down to earth, great personality, educated, hot and has a career. I just found out my bro is cheating on her with his ex (who is toxic/manipulative, stole money from my mother & doesn’t have a job or trying to get one). From a personality, values & looks perspective, the new girlfriend is what every guy would dream of. Im jealous &wish I could date her instead
