Smoke a blunt

Hell yeah. I’m abstinent right now because I’m job hunting and worried about pre employment tests. 😑

It used to be a tall glass of wine on a Friday night to kick it off, but my husband and I challenged ourselves to one year alcohol-free. So, to replace it, we started making Friday our date-night in and we cook together, listen to music, and hopefully eat some tasty food (some recipes have been duds, so we have our favorite DoorDash order ready at our fingertips at all times). Then Saturday we play pickleball and clean, and on Sunday we just relax and prep for the week.

That sounds so nice! What’s been your favorite recipe?

Love to get outdoors. Walking trails or going to a park. At the age when birds are fascinating. Just found out there is a bird watching guided hike, so big news for next weekend!

Believe it or not... either working later on a Friday night or using Friday night for chores and cleaning my apartment. Making sure I have my ducks in a row after a hectic week allows me to actually disconnect Saturday and Sunday and not have to think about work.

Honestly yes! I’ve been doing my chores on Fridays too, and it’s made such a difference for the rest of my weekend.

Working out, followed by some serious couch time, either watching Netflix or sports, or reading. I'd love to bypass the first step, but I can't seem to unwind until I've physically exhausted myself. Going to hit the gym after work, then head up, fire up a documentary and order Indian for delivery.

I’ve never related to something more. That sounds like the best evening!

We usually have lots of sports on the weekend. But being busy with that helps me unwind and disconnect from work.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here.

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Happy weekend everyone

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?
