I go hiking (hard trails with a lot of elevation gain, I’ve found that if my body is fully engaged, my mind “turns off”), boxing, weightlifting and tactical training. I’m female so I get a lot of surprised looks when I’m asked what my hobbies are lol

I highly recommend @dating.intentionally and @alittlenudge on Instagram - they both totally changed my perspective on dating for the better in a matter of weeks. I started communicating more clearly, efficiently, and going on more dates with people I actually liked. They both also offer feedback on how to get comfortable with trying to talk to strangers IRL. I'm a few weeks away from celebrating two years with my partner now.

I’m learning how to play hockey with the goal of joining my husband’s beer league in the fall. It has already had the nice side effect of also bringing us closer. I took up custom cookie decorating a few years ago - some of it is just for the art of it (for me) and some is for orders I take through my side business.

I play a ton of board games and run some TTRPG campaigns with friends. Regular game nights with friends and a regular date night with my spouse keep me sane.

I started scrapbooking/ creating photo albums which I have really enjoyed when wanting to relax but also keep my brain focused on something other than tv. I’ve been going on walks regularly as well as being more active about updating landscaping.

I am taking up stand up comedy. It doesn't even matter if I am good at it. I want to try something very much out of my comfort zone that is so different than my up tight lawyer job

Dance classes! The studio I go to offers workshops where you learn choreography over a few weeks and then film.

All I want from an Account person is some kind of acknowledgement that what you’re asking me to do sucks. What would be GREAT is if you said “I tried to make it suck less.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
