Wow, today is one of those days where I had zero focus on anything. Couldn’t get any work done. I feel ashamed of myself. Anyone been in my shoes before?

Yes. Don't be ashamed. You're human.

This is me regularly right now. Usually it means I need some time off. Lately it means that reality has sapped most of my optimism.

Usually when this happens I realize at about 10am that I need a “do nothing” day, and I just tell my partners that I’m feeling under the weather and need to take the day. If I don’t give myself permission to just embrace the slump, it usually drags out the whole week and I just feel like crap. Better to get it out of my system and come back the next day a bit refreshed.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. I could barely even focus enough to send an email. Take care of yourself; it will pass.

I recently started a job, about 3 months ago… I'm dealing with a coworker whose comments come across as passive-aggressive. I'm unsure if my race is part of the intention of these comments.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
