Career: My new manager and tech lead actually asked for my feedback on how the team is running, and more importantly my tech lead implemented some of my suggestions so I'm happy with how much influence I seem to have. I need to model more mature behaviors like communicating what I'm actually working on rather than what sounds nice to say, and also on putting in a consistent number of hours at work.
Life: My sister started a new job in our city so she's been staying with us for a couple weeks. I was taking her to apartment showings earlier and she signed a lease this week. I'm really happy for her to be nearby, she's one of the few people in the world who I can really be secure around because she's seen me grow from the awkward teenage years to where I am today.
Financial: A lot of my stock holdings are in company stock, and it didn't bother me when the amount was under 200K. But now I'm starting to think about balancing diversification with the FOMO of having to sell the tech stocks that have helped me build wealth.
Health & wellness: I started a strength training program and, to my surprise, my mom started doing the same program when I told her about it! I'm happy my mom is keeping tabs on her health, and wish my dad would do the same. I've been missing workouts for the past few days because I was busy hanging out with my sister and with friends, so I need to get back to it. |
