June 3,2025,Tuesday morning,10:12am, pacific standard time,office in Costa Mesa, California,USA. The weather was slightly drizzly this morning and I got up a little later than usual. As a result, after finishing the walk I worked out at home rather than going to the gym. That gave me more time to relax before heading to the office. On a professional note, I asked for a raise this morning. I had been contemplating the move for a while and I finally reached out to my supervisor. He was supportive. I am not sure what will come of it but money isn’t the biggest factor. I feel good for having the confidence to make the request.
