Philly airport still the worst by far in my book. After they hold you past midnight for your flight and all the customer service people go home and all the car rental agencies are sold out and hotels are fully booked... they can then cancel the flight. After that, they hand out the silver "blankets" so that you don't freeze when you sleep on the floor or the benches in the airport. The next day, the terminals look like a colony of migrating metamorphosing metallic butterflies left their silver casings littered all over the floors.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
