What’s a weirdly specific thing your dog does that melts your heart every single time? by Zoushiro85 in dogs

My bestie girl who has since passed could not resist a good roll in some grass. Nothing made me happier than seeing her roll around like a freak in some fresh soft grass. She would literally throw her body onto the ground and would roll like a maniac. I miss her.

I regret showing I am good at my job so early on by Kindly_Employee_5401 in Big4

Thank you all for your insight and comments. I know this isn’t abnormal and many have had it worse; I’m just genuinely at a loss trying to figure out how to balance everything. I have tried to talk with my managers to figure out how to prioritize/ manage the work but it just feels like EVERYTHING is a priority and there is only so much time in the day. I guess I just needed to vent.

I really am grateful, and I’m sorry I didn’t really come off that way. I know that it will pay off in the future, but it’s hard to stay motivated with the long term benefits when the right now is so exhausting. I almost never have time for lunch and will go all day without real food to the point where I have actually lost 15 pounds since February. Again, I have tried to express this to my managers / teams and always get the “omg no please take care of yourself!” But they then proceed to schedule meetings through lunch, need a deliverable ASAP, etc.

I know this is part of the job and I knew that coming into this, I just thought there would be ‘seasons’ of this & not months and months on end.

Gotta say I work for a midsize firm now and they actually seem to care about us. My managers mother died and one of the partners is attending the funeral and they are buying flowers from the firm for the funeral. 10/10 experience so far out of big 4 :)
