It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

PM here also but I've been on vacation for the last two weeks. Your comment made me curious about my unread email count. I am anal about a clean inbox so when I left, there were only three unread emails I left as a reminder for something I wanted to take care of. As of now I am sitting at 2,347 unread mails. Figure I'll be around 2,600-2,700 by the time I decide to do actual work on Monday which is of course the obligatory 6-10hrs of meetings.

Turn off your JIRA email notifications. Godspeed.

Jira? He's using excel for EVERYTHING -, such a power tool! No, the emails are requests to change password and join meetings about prepping for other meetings.

Ha! My company makes me update JIRA and Excel for everything just because. Definitely not confusing maintaining backlogs on different programs.
