talk is cheap and pep talks don't work. whats the point of asking us how are we coping when all you want to hear is one word: "ok"
i've been pondering what difference does it make if we say we are all burnt out? will you hire new help? nope.
so just go for your maternity/ paternity leave. because it makes no difference to me.
my motto in life was to be happy. now its just get lost at let me sleep.
