That's A Monday Me Problem

This Week's Work Problem: Should I keep waiting for the promotion?

After more than 20 years with one company, how do you know when your history is holding you back?

Should I stay or should I go? That is the question…

So, I started working on my thoughts on this from the airport in ATL and am finishing it the next day… also at the airport, but Philly this time.

My flight was diverted to Philly, so I spent the night in the City of Brotherly Love. This reminds me why I hate traveling for work. I know sh*t happens, you can’t predict the weather, and it’s show biz — but damn!

Every yes is a no to something else. And for me, that was spending the night in a random hotel I took an Uber to and prayed they had a room (because NO one answers the phone anymore!!) instead of tucking my baby in. Mom guilt is so real.

I did, however, meet someone on the way to ATL from Dayton who follows my content. I love running into people who enjoy my stuff out in the wild. It reminds me there are real people on the other side of the screen. Hey, teahmugsdraws on IG! 👋🏾
