A lot of people seem to have very different personas when it comes to their work and personal lives. Having two different personas isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s very useful and keeps your life in balance. You can be super-professional and ambitious at work while kicking back and relaxing when you’re with your family and friends. It’s a Yin and Yang kind of situation.
Just wait til' you've been together 39.5......It's even more confusing ;-)
According to Timothy Sykes on Entrepreneur, it’s very easy to create a professional persona for yourself. The first step is deciding what kind of person you want to be at work and then following through by acting, dressing, and changing your attitude to fit your new character.
Sykes explains that if you “make a concentrated effort to conduct yourself with the professionalism of a manager or CEO,” then you’re more likely to get that promotion you’ve been angling for. In other words, fake it till you make it.
Well it's great that you still chose to have him despite that!
You should also think about what qualities make you indispensable. Are you the kind of person who always finishes their work before a deadline? Are you dependable? Good. Turn those features into a core part of your professional identity and you’ll be valued more by your coworkers and your boss.
What’s more, you should also avoid a casual attitude while at work, otherwise, you won’t be taken as seriously. You can still have fun, but remember that you’re a professional. Just remember to switch back to your carefree and joyful persona when you’re done working from home for the day!
If you need to ask another question it will often turn out that many others had the same question but were too shy to ask.
I had that in college. Different school system, but I can compare it to college. Another girl and in my class and I would always ask questions. Others were or pretended to be annoyed by it. But if we asked them before asking our teacher, they didn't know. And we did that a lot, to test it if they did know it, because they seemed annoyed by it. Apparently they were fine with not knowing what most of our classes were about, because we asked multiple questions each class most of the time. It seemed like they just didn't care? But we didn't care about asking questions. We wanted to understand our classes. In high school, (at least where I went) most people were fine with a (I'll also compare, different grading systems too) B- or even C? They were fine with whatever was enough to pass each class. I was too. But at college, I really wanted to understand what we were studying for! I guess I would be like this at work too. But I am chronically sick and can’t work. So I don’t know for sure.

if you need to ask another question, at least wait until everyone else has left so you can ask privately!
But what if the person who has the answer leaves? This is fine in a lecture or presentation, but meetings are supposed to be collaborative. Asking a question now could reveal something others have missed and save everyone time and effort in the long run. Don't be afraid to do your job thoroughly because others are bored or impatient.

Work life is different from personal life. Some just have their own characteristics or personality when it comes to work that doesn't apply to their non-work life.
That's me, but never publicly. I use headphones in public and speakerphone in private, but I can't hear from speakers very well, and I'm tone deaf so I can't quite hear how I sound
@FLCatLady you may also notice that she has a massive smile and her username is that name as well, something that shows that she DOESN'T CARE and is perfectly happy the way she is.
I am actually quite worried about being in isolation. I am already seriously struggling with my mental health and being stuck at home, no break away from my kids and hubby. Don’t get me wrong I love them dearly but both my kids have disabilities and do not get along and my hubby will get cabin fever from not being able to go fishing. We will drive each other cray cray. But we have been through so much so I believe we will survive this.
Do you like to read? If you can't get out, maybe you can travel in your mind? I spent A LOT of time in Middle Earth during a difficult period of my life. Even 10 min why you are in the bathroom could help x

I figure this quarantine will lead to two things in the next year: A lot of divorces, and/or a lot of newborn babies.
I just found out we both drink a lot. And I don't mean alcohol. He frequently emerges from the office with two mugs (coffee and tea), two empty cans of seltzer, a water bottle, and an energy drink. My work desk is the same, but my home desk is too small to accumulate. 🤣
I found out this a while ago, but my dad was working at home for a bit. He was usually the quietest person in the house, but on a phone call, you can hear clearly everything he says from out on our street, and all our windows/doors are closed. I was shook....
My partner calls everyone 'mate' on the phone, sometimes it's the friendly kind of 'mate' and sometimes it's the warning kind of 'Mate'.
My husband and I met at work. We then worked together for a few years at different places so I cannot comprehend being surprised about how a spouse acts at work. Lol, we loved working together too.
I've been working on a nonfiction book, and self-isolation has helped me make a lot of progress.
I live alone, but my mother walked down to my home the other day, (it is a three minute walk between houses) and I was on the phone when she walked in. When I hung up, she said, "Wow. I am impressed. You sounded really smart on the phone." Um...Thanks Mom. I am am the top of my field.
I've been accused of having a 'phone voice ' but I can't very well call and say " Hey Fartface , your order is in " now could I ?
It shows that we have characters to fit different roles. However, some of these sound like they are being fake and acing in the way that business people are supposed to, with their jinogistic language.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one with a separate work personality... phew
The end of this pandemic will be "I LOVE YOU-I HATE YOU" Figure what works better for you..
Hello, Is any one here suffering from any kind of STD or STI ? , Now this is to everyone out there with different health challenges, as I know there are still a lot of people suffering from different health issues and are therefore looking for solution. I bring you Good news. There is a man called Dr. Tokubo a herbal practitioner who helped cure me from Genital herpes, this i had suffered from for the past 2years and have spent so much money trying to survive from it. I got my healing by taking the herbal medicine he sent to me to drink for about 9days . 3days after completion of the dosage, I went for a medical checkup and I was tested Genital Herpes NEGATIVE. I'm sharing this so that other people can know of this great healer called Dr Tokubo because I got to know him through a friend he cured from HIV. I was made to understand that he can cure several other deadly diseases and infections. Don't die in ignorance and don't let that illness take your life. Contact Dr. Tokubo through: d
My girlfriend ex had herpes and didn't tell her. Then she had a breakout, but we didn't know what it was until after it went away. We had sex a few days after that. I was itching all the time. I went to the doctor to find out I had herpes. My herbal doctor (DR JOE) gave me HSV HERBAL REMEDY, and I took two teaspoon daily for good one month and three weeks just as instructed. I haven't had a breakout yet, and My last test came out Negative. For more information about this remedy, visit: ww w. besthealthherbalcentre .c om
