May 26, 2023, 7:13am, pacific standard time, hotel in Bakersfield, California, USA. I am not going into the office this morning. I will do my morning calls from the hotel then head to Orange County. If I don’t set boundaries for myself no one will. Going into the office for two hours on Friday causes me stress, and it generally is not productive. The interview yesterday went alright. There are a couple things I could have articulated better but, overall it was fine. Fact is, they need me in the role more than I need the promotion. That is such a unique way to feel. Usually when I interview the desire for a steady paycheck supersedes all other concerns.
