Every so often I come across a reminder that we’re all out there still. Video calls to friends, biking with friends, celebrating a roommates birthday by making a cake and having a fire since we couldn’t invite people over. But I’m still not feeling whole.

I think it’s work and relationship related? And Covid, duh. Works got me in a place right now where I’m being asked to be both an individual contributor and focus on managing my four employees while recruiting for a 5th...the scales will tip in two weeks but it’s kind of hellish trying to do both. Which in turn results in having to go in on night shift and explain to your girlfriend why you can’t spend time together watching a movie like we had planned. That conversation never seems to go well
