In my primary field of expertise, which encompasses computers and finance, I have experienced significant stress in the past due to allowing people's comments to affect me on a personal level.

Having attended a prestigious private Ivy-league institution and the Microsoft Academy, as well as receiving personal training from a Microsoft MVP, I faced immense pressure in my professional role and consulting endeavors.

Several years later, I encountered an audit that nearly led to my disbarment, prompting me to resort to serving and stripping as a means of livelihood. This transition presented its own set of challenges, particularly when I found myself performing at various Ladies Nights events on weekends.

Sometimes the personalities involved in legal disputes aren't the nicest or most cordial. That said, I've met a number of lawyers who are fantastic, empathetic people.

Also, dealing with regular conflict in general can be exhausting, even if you have the good fortune of dealing with pleasant people.

The trick to being happy in most professions is to have boundaries to separate work from your personal life.

A particular manager that’s there. She’ll get on the female employees, but not the male employees. A female employee can do something wrong and she will get chastised immediately by this manager. A male employee can do the same thing, but this manager won’t say a word to him. It’s favoritism. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

Too much to do, too much being requested, and the bad system structure with not enough time in the day to do everything for an 8 hours shift and management not wanting to pay staff for OT if they’re staying extra to finish documentation that’s required. I do find myself mentally or emotionally exhausted once I clocked out. Other than that I do love what I do, my co-workers, & director.

Time away from family. The virtual assurance of a nice case of PTSD. The front row seats to human suffering, idiocy, and cruelty.
