If you really love your job, then learn to give it some space.
I love my partner. She’s really great. I mean, of course she is, otherwise we wouldn’t still be together after five years. Our anniversary (helpfully) coincides with Valentine’s Day.

In the evening, we attempted not to mess up a Jason Atherton meal kit. In between, we parted ways. She retired to the lounge to play Genshin Impact, and I went to the study to resurrect my childhood via Roller Coaster Tycoon. We arranged a set time in the evening to begin dinner together.

Why did you go back to writing?
I have been a writer for as long as I remember. I learned the alphabet and I started writing. Why? Back when I was a kid, it was "be quiet, you're too young to listen or have an opinion..." Kids were to be seen, not heard. It was the same at school or at home. Sit down, be quiet. So I wrote and wrote and wrote. Because at least the paper wanted to hear my thoughts, my dreams, and my opinions.

Do we still need dress codes in the office?
I've worked in a few different companies all with different approaches to what was acceptable to wear to the office, usually with reference to how likely you were to come into contact with external visitors.

The Trauma After the Trauma
It was my turn on the Trauma rotation in our ER that night. My first patient was from a head-on motor vehicle accident or MVA as we call it. He came in with a serious facial laceration that had hit an artery and with a compound left leg fracture obvious to all by the sideways right angle his lower leg made to the upper.

How To Bounce Back At Work From Failure
1. Failure at Work Isn’t Uncommon The very first thing to know is that failure at work is in no way unusual. Just such as you, everybody else is making errors as effectively. Our work lives are merely transferring too shortly, the requests are piling up one on high of one other, and it looks like we’re by no means capable of catch up—not to mention get forward. These errors, errors, and failures at work are made inevitable by these circumstances.

It’s Okay to Explore in Your Career
"Find out what you like doing best, and get someone to pay you for doing it." — Katharine Whitehorn When you’re in college, it’s pretty common to change your major, especially in your first year or two. Almost 1/3 of all first-time college students change their major at least once within three years, according to a report from the US Education Department’s National Center for Education Statistics.

As we all know and have probably experienced, so many jobs want us to have 5 or more years experience in the field before applying. This can be really daunting even before applying for a position; so daunting in fact it puts us off doing it. I know it has for me.

The Real Tales of an Intern Part 2
“Damn you are too slow. Don’t you remember all those patients we walked past? They are ours and we have not got all day. Very soon, the orderlies and cleaners will stand hounding us as they need to clean up and go home.” Samantha was flustered. In school, the teachers had been very emphatic about taking good histories. In reality, her supervisor said she was wasting time. They hadn’t told her what to expect in a setting of patient overload.
