I like having greater field vision. I’m not just running up the gut for short yardage or throwing Hail Mary’s. I know how to orchestrate a scoring drive.

Well said!

Letting go of insecurities I let other people hang on me and just being my best me for me allowed me to be the happiest I have ever been.

That's a lot of "me" and kind of the point.

I couldn't do that when I was younger, not because I messed it up but because the 20s and 30s come with defined expectations. The 40s and beyond are a crapshoot. Make it your crapshoot.

I can’t be brought down. I feel like a beast now. The only downside is people thinking you’re too old to understand digital and social. And that’s bullshit since it’s the easiest thing to get vs learning about leadership or building solid teams for exemple.

With age comes the blessing of seeing the younger people you mentored and coached come of age and be leaders in their own right. Working side by side with them as they rise in the ranks gives me my greatest sense of accomplishment.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me. He also exhibits stalker like behavior by looking up my family online (addresses, emails, phone numbers, FB/Twitter accounts, you name it) and driving by my house and commenting on things I was doing during the weekend or after work. I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..
