Happy Sunday to you April</p><p><strong>Track 1:</strong> likewise, </p><p><strong>wd_1_04-14-2024_082623:</strong> Man, I know I say this all the time on all the shows a majority of the shows man. Time is Flying sir,</p><p><strong>Track 1:</strong> no doubt. Yeah, no doubt. Yes. It's just yeah.</p><p><strong>wd_1_04-14-2024_082623:</strong> up. It's gonna be time to do w 2s [00:01:00] again next year</p><p><strong>Track 1:</strong> Yeah. Yeah No, it goes. Yeah exact. Oh gosh. Yeah, I can't even I don't even know where yeah. Yeah, absolutely right. It'll be yeah I had to hit my CPA up cuz I was like Hey, did you extend my personal stuff too? Cause she told me she extended our stuff, business wise and I was like, wait, I gotta make sure she did it for personal, cause I'm not ready.</p><p>I'm not ready. Yeah, I wasn't ready. Yeah, thank God she did. Shout out to JC. But yeah, man, it's just going so quickly. I'm just I'm kinda Been panicking about time, and just making, not panicking in a good, at the end of the day, I'm like, okay, it is okay, I'm good, but I'm like, just very concerned about time, just oh my gosh, will work now, is, talking about it with the team this, the fact that this, oh, we could work forever is the fact that you have to balance out because if not, you're going to burn out, so balance out to avoid burnout um, just being mindful of all that stuff and everything else going on, you gotta [00:02:00] still kinda keep time for the fam, the family's feeling it, my little one doesn't let me forget, thank you, shout out to my boss, man, let me bring in, he's gonna let me do a little take your child to work day is coming up,</p><p><strong>wd_1_04-14-2024_082623:</strong> Yes, nice.</p><p><strong>Track 1:</strong> and my little one's always been too young to do it it's just so I haven't done it I haven't taken her in prior years, and I've been home for four years, so it's like, what, take you to work, you stay home from school</p><p>finally, but even still, she's no, you have an office.</p><p>I want to go to your office. And she, cause she knows I have a even as a remote, she knew I had an office, we had, I had an office to go to in Miami. And so I had already planned it, but with the job change, I was like, Oh man, what am I going to do now? So</p><p><strong>wd_1_04-14-2024_082623:</strong> Yeah.</p><p><strong>Track 1:</strong> again, shout out to my boss.</p><p>Let me do it, bring her in and whatnot. And then it was a good opportunity to frame it for folks. If you are trying to do a take your child to work thing there is a formal way to do it like your HR department or some usually HR that helps [00:03:00] organize a an event for it.</p><p>Um, what you do is you take two or three hours out of the day. You say, okay, you can have your kids, they can come for this event. So bring your kids to workday, da here. Here's the how can I say, organized event for them. It's only a certain age group, right? You shouldn't bring infants in.</p><p>That's not bring your kid to workday. Like infants aren't gonna experience anything. It should, and I think it was like I don't know when this event that I'm thinking of, and then the rules, and I like the rules, it's eight or six, I guess you could go probably as low as five or six and up I would maybe say six and up, or seven and up and not even like seven to eight, seventeen, because at eighteen, is it, you bringing your adult to work at that point it's a different story. Give them a job, but anyway, I just my point is that I like It should be a organized and thoughtful and planned event. It shouldn't be just everybody bringing their kids to work On this day and having no organization around it because kids can't last the whole day.</p><p>[00:04:00] You know what I mean?
