What a week! I’ve somehow had what felt like a looong work week, though it wasn’t extremely painful nor too stressful just a tad too unpredictable and unstructured. Nonetheless, I’ve survived it thanks to the 40% discounts on my Uber rides to work so I could work out in the mornings and make it to the office early enough to […]

This week has been the first full week of work; and what a long one it’s been. Not particularly tough but definitely long. I did, however, have a week full of great work outfits (thanks to the planning I did – read more below), which made me feel like I am back in the game and ready to kick ass […]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone’s had a happy and healthy start into 2020 and you’re ready to get back into the work groove. I’ve recapped on my 2019 in a blog post, What I learned at work this year and I quite enjoyed taking the time to think about what I’ve learned and enjoyed doing in 2019. The […]

Back to the Weekly Reads schedule. In the past couple of months I slacked with my weekly posts but now that the studies are over, the holidays have passed and I am back in the office – yes, I decided to return to the office for the very last day of the year –  I should really have no excuse […]

This is my last week in the office ahead of the holidays and I am quite excited about the approaching end of the year. It’s been a tough and stressful year at work and I am looking forward to closing it, leaving all the chaos behind and diving into what 2020 brings. While I will be back in the office […]

What a whirlwind November has been. We are starting the last week of the month and I can’t believe it flew by so quickly. We started the count down to Christmas and the winter holidays, and I really don’t know how I will get all the work done in the next three weeks until I will be off. This month […]

Last week I have been working from home most of the time. My neck and back pain have been holding me at home. And there is no other more frustrating feeling than not being able to be productive when you want to be. That, paired with the long hours I had been doing previously, somehow mixed and took a toll […]

This past week has been one of the most unproductive weeks I’ve ever had. A lot of the stress from the previous weeks catched up with me and I strained my neck and upper back muscles bad enough to keep me a couple of days out of the office game. However, this helped as a reminder to finally take care of […]

This week has been quite busy and felt extra long. I’ve carried the load of heavy work weeks for the past month and since it’s barely slowing down, all of the load is catching up with me. While I have achieved quite a few major milestones, I did have to give up most of my free time to work. I […]

Last week has been quite a good one. Even though there were no more Uber rides to/from work – except just a couple of them – we had the Thursday off in Germany to celebrate the German Unity Day and as you would imagine, having a day off in the middle of the week is quite pleasant. I ended up […]

This week has been a crazy work week. A major project had its peak point this Thursday so I ended up doing a 70 hour work week while also working on and submitting a couple of assignments for my Master’s degree. That was definitely not easy and I had to trade off my workouts during the week; luckily I was […]

Welcome to the Weekly Reads, where I highlight articles that I found on the web and that are focused on career advice, lifestyle, beauty or anything I think would round-up as useful for the young, modern, working woman. Just get yourself comfortable, pour a cup of coffee – or tea – and enjoy this week’s reads! What have I been up […]
