Am very proud of myself because this terribly unlucky day ended with me spilling an entire cup of coffee on me and my laptop and somehow managed not to yell a very loud bad word out in front of my 2nd graders! Does anyone else get surprised by their self-control/professionalism in these moments? LOL

Yep. Once had a huge spider crawl over my leg !!!! (I don't do spiders. Like had to call my mother to come to pick me up if I felt like there were spiders at a friend's house as a kid don't do spiders) and I wanted so badly to freak out and abandon my kids to the disgusting thing. I did push it off me with a book rather quickly but other than that I held my cool until the spider was gone and my kids were at lunch... then I freaked the f out lol.

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
