Monday Check-In

 So had an 8a meeting. Since I've been doing the sleep whenever routine, I woke up quite groggy. But after my first meeting, I'm mostly awake. I got the trash ready for pick-up. So that's a win. A lot of people on the call this morning had wild amounts of experience. So I need to stop feeling like I don't deserve my title. 

I tried to speak up more, but I forgot this isn't the right audience. But my grandboss was on the call, so I felt a little motivated. 

But the star of the morning was I moved forward for the job I applied for! Yay! It was in my inbox before 8 a.m. after a phone screen on Friday. So that's awesome! I'd almost forgotten about it.

I won't get too excited because I've done many a phone screen before. But it is pretty cool.

I feel nervous for some reason.

I need to book my ticket for my work trip but I am hemming and hawing to use my miles because the redemption is pretty poor. So I'm conflicted between just using it and moving on (a new mentality I'm trying to adopt) and waiting to see if I can get better redemption. 

I looked yesterday for a flight to Miami in December and it was only 11k miles.  But because I have to wait until pretty much November to book lodging, it's unlikely I'll be able to get that sweet, sweet redemption. So part of me feels like I should just go ahead and use these points and can restart the travel hacking process when I'm more focused. 

Well my interview is scheduled for Wednesday. So that's exciting! 

Last night my recurring thought was to cover the items in my car with the sheet so it's less visible. We shall see.
