I know this profession is hard. I knew that coming into it. I have worked hard, graduated 6 years ago, got licensed about 2 years ago and have been working as a project manager now for a medium sized firm for the last year and a half.. on paper I am doing well. But daily I struggle to just get out of bed and make it through the day.

I feel like such a failure. I feel like every project I work on has so many things wrong with it that I should foresee. I don’t think clients/ consultants/ contractors respect me. I’m learning but I don’t think I’m learning fast enough and it’s to the detriment of my clients.

I think I made a mistake choosing this profession. It requires a thick skin and I just don’t think I have what it takes to constantly see all of the things you have done wrong during the CA process. I don’t enjoy constantly babysitting consultants and pestering them to do their jobs. I am sick of the finger point liability game.

I just have a hard time seeing myself getting through another 25 years of this. I know I’m being a baby and I need to suck it up and come at it with an open mind but I’m exhausted and don’t see the joy in this work anymore.

I don’t see much of a way out though- I hate CA so working in construction seems even worse.

Just what the title says- I just got my reception dress in the mail.. and I knew it was going to be short! I’m 6ft tall and these clio peppiatt dresses are not made for people my height. I got a size medium really for the extra length, but when I look at photos online I feel like a lot of brides have the dress more fitted than it is currently fitting on me. Should I get the hips taken in more? Or since it’s so short already should I stick to it being looser?

I’m also wondering honestly if this is flattering on me? I have a really small chest and I’m worried this just highlights that I have no boobs and no curves. It’s a very expensive dress so it should be amazing on.. am I just being overly critical?

I am planning on trying to lose a little bit of weight (like 5lbs) between now and the wedding which is in 3 months- so maybe that will help me with a more defined waist?

Also sorry for the very dirty mirror!

Major regret choosing this profession
