Work-Life Balance in my 20s | navigating 9-5 stress, social life, weekend reset

Hi, I'm here to pick up my new badge. No, I lost my badge. Yeah, so this is a replacement. So I finally got my new badge, and I'm going to go get my flu shot at a different Amazon office. Let's go. Good morning and happy Friday. It's 9.27 right now. I had to come into the office very early or earlier than usual because my senior manager had to reschedule our one-on-one to 9.30 today. So yeah, I have a lot of meetings today. I have four, including this one. So even though it's a Friday, I figured let's just come to the office since I'll probably be more productive here, especially because it's Friday. So yeah. So I just finished my third and last meeting of the morning. I have one more in the afternoon, but I think I'm just going to have an early lunch and meet up with my friend, Tana. Channel. Wait, isn't that what you do? Yeah, like that. Cheers. I just finished work, and I have a Liguri class at 4pm, so I'm going to head home real quick. Alright, so I got home a few hours ago, and I actually ended up canceling my Liguri class. I never made it because as I was wrapping things up at work, I got some news that really upset me and stressed me out a lot. I don't want to go too into it, but basically I found out that the scope of ownership that I had in this upcoming project was dramatically reduced, and it left me in a situation where I wouldn't have any growth opportunity from it, and I was hoping that it would be like a growth opportunity for me. I honestly don't know what happened, but the past two weeks, I was involved in all the meetings in assumption that I'm going to have full ownership of this component, and that's not the case now. And I just feel like I wasted two weeks of my time looking into that issue, and so I need to learn how to let these type of things go, but honestly, I know that this is going to bother me throughout the entire weekend and stress me out until I get some kind of resolution from it, and that won't happen until Monday, obviously, so it's just like not the perfect way to end my week. Anyway, I'm just going to like try to keep my mind off of it, probably just do some editing or watch Netflix. I was like playing with Howl earlier as I came back home, but he's like sleeping after he ate dinner now, so, yeah. Howl, where'd you go? Why are you over there? Come here. No kisses? Okay. He doesn't want kisses. Look at him trying to push me away. Oh my god, okay. Okay. Bye. I'll see you later. So after I got back from my breakfast plan, I literally did nothing. I just laid in bed for hours watching Netflix. Also, I think I fell asleep. I'm not sure, but I was just like so tired for whatever reason. Wow, my hair looks so bad. I think it's obvious I've been laying in bed for the past few hours, but yeah, I actually need to get on a call real quick with Lucy. Some of you guys may know her, Tech with Lucy. We're meeting up in Vegas towards the end of the month. One of her friends from Australia is coming with her as well. Her name is Annie, so I'll be meeting Annie, and then we're going to finalize some Vegas trip details, so I'm excited for that. They said that Seven Magic Mountains is good, but I think it's more like a landmark than anything, so I'll just put it at the bottom. Seven Magic Mountains. Have you heard of it yet? I feel like I have. No idea what it is, though. Oh, I know, I know. This is such a famous landmark. Yeah, but what type of travelers are you guys? Are you guys like, you want to write every single day the exact things we're going to go to? Good morning. I have yoga at 10 a.m. today. I'm actually bringing Hannah with me as my monthly guest, so I'm excited to go with her for the first time. I'm just excited to have a buddy at yoga because usually I'm one of those girls that just goes to all of their workouts alone, so I think it'd be fun to have a friend with me, and we already have post-yoga lunch plans, so it'll be a cute girls' day morning. I was just in a war room meeting for our N2N testing, and I just dropped because they're not at the part of the testing where I'm necessarily needed, so instead of staying on the call for another two hours, I just wanted to see how things were going, and then just dropped from it after 45 minutes, so yeah, I think I need to rest my eyes, though, because I've been staring at the screen since 9 a.m. I think in my previous vlogs, I mentioned how I had a sty on my left eye, and I've just been having a lot of eye issues the past couple months, and I think it's mainly because I spend so much time on my computer, so I recently started using my blue light filters, blue light filtered glasses. These are from Karen, they're a South Korean brand, and I really love them. I think they look good, goes with anything, and more importantly, they protect my eyes. So in addition to these blue light filtered glasses, oh, sorry, that was loud, I also got this one. These ones are really cute, too. I feel like this gives me Harry Potter vibes, but I kind of like it. I honestly love that I have more than one blue light filtered glasses now, because I could have one in my commuting backpack, and have one at my desk, at home, or in the office, just because I spend all my time in front of a computer, so I think I need to take better care of my eye health in general. They also sent me some sunglasses, and these are from their new jeans collection, and I thought that was really cool, because I really love all of new jeans songs. This is one, this is another one, another one that they sent. These ones kind of remind me of the Ray-Ban circled glasses, and I always wanted this Ray-Ban circled one, so I like that this is another similar style. I also think that the packaging for the sunglass cases are so cute. I actually owned only one pair of sunglasses before Karen sent me some from their new jeans collection, and honestly, I think having more than one is always better, because now I leave my old ones in my car as emergency sunglasses, because in Seattle, it'll randomly be cloudy, then it'll be sunny again. Right now, it's raining. The weather is just very unpredictable during the winter and fall season, so quick shout-out to Karen. I'll link all of their sunglasses that I got down below in my description box.
