I am due in 3 days and still actively working. They had me out my out of office up early, but requests are still non stop and the people who will be covering for me have asked me more questions than I ever could have imagined. I have laid out priorities for Q4 is 5 different ways, have drafted everything I possibly could and have added my coverage to all of my emails. There is nothing more I can do, but somehow I’m still getting questions every 5 minutes.

I took 4 hours of sick time yesterday because I am exhausted and logged in this morning to so many m emails and more questions. We are not doctors, we’re not saving lives. The panic and stress over things that do not matter is insane. We had an office expand and need some new artwork so we selected 3 images to put in the addition and we are required to go through 4 layers of approval… to get photos printed. The office leader should have the final say. They are photos of our projects, work he wants to showcase. Why would they not be approved?

We also have to get this done by next week so there’s a tight turnaround and we still have to go through 4 layers of approval. I got the images and the mockups, I dont know why we can’t just say this looks good and place an order.

Why are people calling and texting me all day long about pictures? Why do I have to be so involved in this that I can’t take a sick day. Why is taking time off like a punishment? I’ve already been frustrated with the way things work here, but I’m so over it now. The bottlenecks make everything impossible to finish in a timely manner, the questions are exhausting. I just don’t have the mental capacity to deal with any of this anymore.

My job has been going through changes and it’s becoming such a miserable place to be. We are being extremely micromanaged and I’m having to work every night after my toddler goes to bed. I’m exhausted and over it. I’m due in October and literally counting down the days until baby is here so I can ignore work for awhile.

I’ve been trying to prep for my absence but even the way I take notes isn’t good enough at this point. Comments on repetitive items and length… a 2 hour meeting will have more than 1 page of notes, especially if it’s for planning purposes… and the action items are going to repeat some of the info in the notes, how else would i get my action items?! I’m just getting so frustrated and I think part of it is because I am so stuck. I can’t get a new job 6 months pregnant, and I am not sure how long I have to stay post maternity leave to ensure I’m not having to payback anything (I can find a clause anywhere in our handbooks, but they are sneaky).

I’m trying to just keep my head down and get my work done, but it’s so hard when it’s so closely examined by others. I am not saving lives, the work I’m doing is not going to save the world. I’m realizing I do not have the corporate drive to work for this company.

Struggling to find the energy to get anything done in our house lately. We haven’t gone grocery shopping, we’ve fallen behind on cleaning and laundry. Once our son is asleep I’m so tired from playing and working I just couch rot and then fall asleep. My day is packed from 6:30am to 8pm (lately 8:30, he’s been tough to get to sleep), we get ready for daycare and work, work all day, get home and try to focus most of my energy on my kiddo. Dinner recently has been whatever I can find to quickly throw together so we can eat. I do a quick tidy every other night when my husband does bathtime, but I still feel so behind. When are things supposed to get done?

Working 45-50 hours a week, sitting in traffic on my way in and my way home and being pregnant while also have a toddler is draining me. I need to get into a more solid routine again, just need to figure it out.

Posted about battery issues awhile ago, but now I have a new problem. It died overnight on me and every time I put it on the charger it instantly says it’s 100% charged. I take it off and put it back on the charger to see if it will resume charging and it still stays at 100. Kept it charging but it isn’t charging after it thinks it has hit 100% and just dies within an hour.
I reached out to customer service but haven’t heard back yet. Has anyone else dealt with this?

As the title says, all of my Facebook events are showing a time an hour and 15 minutes before they actually begin. Party is at 3? It shows 1:45. Party at 1? 11:45 for me. My date and time are set to automatically update in my phone settings, and they are right for everyone else.

Events and marketplace are the only reason I still have a Facebook, there has to be a setting somewhere I can update?

I’ve had my ring just over a year and it was great. I saw the lights blinking yesterday while putting my son to bed, login and I have no data from the last 3 days. I charged it less than 5 days ago. It didn’t notify me that the battery was low, it looked to be working but now it’s completely dead. I’m so frustrated. It went from no issues at all to overnight battery sucks and takes forever to connect to the app.
