Humiliated

Abstract

One of my mantras is to never let people or circumstances keep me from pursuing my goals. This has served me well in the past when facing professional challenges. I usually go running to relieve the stress and anger of a particularly difficult day. So after the blowup with rick, I went home and put my running clothes on. Since Heidi’s close encounter with that truck, we have limited our running to neighborhoods and the city center, especially where they have sidewalks. Because it is dark outside after work, I would not have run out by the cornfields anyway. I ran for an hour, and felt much better—calmer even. During the run, my mind turned away from rick to my big day tomorrow, when I will be launching the $5 billion initiative to the global procurement team. I am hopeful that the team will get behind the goal and that we can work together to make it happen. Things are never as bad as they seem at first glance.
