'I buy food to prepare salads, stuffed peppers, chicken and brussels sprouts, and sausage, potatoes, and broccolini. A typical grocery run usually lasts us anywhere from one to two weeks. $142.69'
We didn't have formal money conversations, which looking back surprises me a bit. My parents were both very financially literate but didn't pass much of that financial responsibility to their kids. Both my mom and dad were not well off financially growing up so it would make sense that they didn't want their kids to have to stress about or focus on that, but unfortunately that meant not discussing money much at all.
11:30 a.m. — Woof, I'm exhausted. I can feel myself hitting a productivity wall and decide to take a walk/coffee break. I walk over to a nearby coffee shop and pick up a latte for myself and one for M. as well. It costs $10.50 with tip, but I use a gift card we received a few months ago to pay. I walk back home and heat up leftovers for lunch and M. joins me. After lunch, I finish up my work for the day.
5 p.m. — M. and I have been waiting for a year and a half to see a bluegrass show at Red Rocks, as it was postponed soon after COVID hit. We grab some drinks and snacks from the grocery store on the way and we tailgate before the concert with our friends . Our friends introduce us to Grillo's pickles and I swear I eat almost the entire jar before we head into the concert.7 p.m. — The opener is pretty awful; we make jokes about how it sounds like insurance hold music.
11 a.m. — Ugh, Mondays. My boss is in some kind of mood today and calls some of my teammates out multiple times over the course of a few meetings. I finally have a break for lunch and eat some very old leftover chicken fried rice. I take some time and sit outside in the sun over my break before heading back online to a meeting at 12:30.3 p.m.
10 a.m. — I cannot take one more second of my boss. I started in my current role about three months ago, having left my last job due to a toxic boss. I was incredibly excited about my boss at my new job, but she ended up leaving two weeks after I started. Unfortunately, her replacement is the spitting image of my toxic boss. He spends the better part of our meeting telling me I'm focused on the wrong things and not moving fast enough or making a big enough impact.
11 a.m. — I take my lunch break before a string of back-to-back meetings. I'm really dreading my meeting later today with my team, as my manager will be sitting in. After yesterday's terrible meeting, I can only imagine what he'll say or do to my teammates. I scarf down a stuffed pepper and watch the minutes fly by.
