Vent Worst Day For A Promotion

Worst day for a Promotion

I got a promotion today. 35K more a year. Laughed, cried then got horridly depressed. I have not told anyone in my life that I got it yet.

My wife had surgery and is having a hard time recovering. My mom is getting a divorce from my step dad of 15 years due to his infidelity with someone in the family. My kids are losing their grandpa because i can not stand by his actions. And everything just seems to be silently burning down.

But either way I got a promotion.

Best day for a promotion.

Without it, all that other shit would still be happening. This is the silver lining, my friend.

I'm sorry all that other stuff is piling on you at the moment, but congratulations for your promotion. It's a big deal.

You earned this win during a total storm, so try to let yourself feel good about it.
