Hello, I would like to thread for a moment on burnout. I wrote about it, because the word is everywhere and it *seems* everyone is quitting all of a sudden because of it. Here's the deal, though, I think we're dealing with it wrong. source.opennews.org/articles/burno… I've been burned out a few times, to the point where my late husband put his foot down and said you are going to the hospital, or you are changing something about work and you are doing it now. (He was great that way).

Every time I took time off, it helps, but it's a bandaid.

I finally have a moment to breathe, so let me talk a bi about my life with trauma, journalism, and management. I've been managing for a few years now, but I still occasionally report. This week, I stepped in and did ops and work around #Dayton and #ElPaso The USAToday network had more than 150 people (possibly 200) working on these stories in some way, shape or form. Our newsroom alone sent eight people to help, some of whom are still there. It was a monumental task and everyone took it in stride.
