this morning #1721.
this morning, at 11:55am exactly, we friggin’ did it. monthly goal reached. my team had come through for me. i wanted to jump up & hoot & holler but had to play it cool. act like, deep down, i knew that they had it in the bag the entire time. i gave them a calm “well done, everyone” but let the chili’s gift cards i’d bought for them do the talking. really shouldn’t have spent so much money on them but here we are. definitely not trying to make gift giving at work a habit. it’s their job, after all. i sent my girl a text. DRINKS TONIGHT? MY TREAT. can’t afford that either. i’m feeling celebratory though. ready to reward myself. went & got sushi for lunch. even ordered a beer. coasted for the last half of the day. hell…i’d earned it.
