What do you guys do in your day to day at work and why do you like it? Could you please share without the fluffy language? Like I just read, write, look at excel all day, etc. Going through an existential crisis and trying to figure out my next steps.

I love the problem solving. Basically they send me all of the really difficult issues and I just figure it out using the tools I’ve got. It’s fun, I don’t have to deal with people as much (other than presenting my work occasionally), and I work at my own pace. Best part is job security. Because my role is so niche and specialized, they can’t get rid of me. Yes, they means when I don’t have work (I only work about 10-15 hrs per week), I sleep in, garden, read, watch Netflix, and spend time with my kids.

Data science. I got my masters from a T10 school, so it’s mostly pedigree that got me the job, but school didn’t teach me what I needed to know.

My day to day is fairly boring at this point, I don’t really hate that though. Huge struggle with everything when I first started, in a nice groove now that after a year and some change. A lot of sending out reports and making or fixing financial models. Keep in mind too my responsibilities here may be totally different from another company.

Thank you. Do you feel valued and like the work you do is creating an impact? And what kind of reports?

What do you read and write about? And what kind of excel files do you look at?

Oops. I was giving an example.

I am seeing a guy and having a hard time thinking about him in terms of long term relationship. One thing that bothers me is that he never showers after he comes back from the gym and I told him that I find it nasty. We currently live separately so I don't have to see him after he works out which is a good thing but I can easily see this being a problem in the future. Any tips? And NO I don't want to go to therapy lol

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?
