My coworkers know what I look like on a daily basis. I don’t really care to get dolled up to hang out with them again just because there’s free food/booze in a different venue. But I get the excitement of wearing party clothes and I did that when I was younger. To each their own.

I personally miss the formality and wish men would put on suits and women cocktail party attire. Feel for everything we’ve resorted to comfort. Weddings and funerals (and official black tie events) are the only times we seem dress for the occasion/moment.

I just wear something a little bit nicer/festive than I usually do to work though and touch up my make up. Casual dress or a cozy sweater jeans and heels. Desk to dinner vibes all around.

Took my first vacation (1 week) in over a year to visit family. Was bombarded by emails from one partner asking me to complete non-time sensitive motions, which he hasn’t even bothered to review. This is my third firm in three years (first I left as I was severely underpaid, second I left for a 100k increase in salary), but this lack of respect for my boundaries has made me want to move again once I’ve completed 18 mos. Bad? They don’t do this to the other associates (all male).

Hi! I'm a GedEd Middle School ELA teacher in Texas. This year I'm teaching 3 sections of coteach ELA and it's been a nightmare.
