When You Dread Being Asked, "How's Work?"

Has this happened to you? Over the holidays, while gathered with family and friends, you were asked the dreaded question:

"How’s work?"

If you didn't have a great answer to that question, here's something to try next time:

"It’s…uh, is that the dog eating the New Year mochi*?"

And hope your diversion works as you slink behind the trimmed tree.

🐕🎄

Now fast forward and imagine the 2024 family summer barbecue.

😎 🌭

Imagine the same pesky Aunt Perlina asking again, "How’s work?"

And this time, you stay calmly rooted and respond:

"Thanks for asking. It’s going really well. The CEO stopped by my desk the other day to tell me I’m a valued member of his team."**

"I’m up for a promotion, and I got the okay to add a new hire to my team, which is exciting."

You might get caught up in the "Can you help your bum cousin Mike?" situation…

But it’s so much better than yet another lecture about how you should've gone to med school like your other cousin Carmen, the Cardiologist.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Though summer feels far away, especially on the last few days of December, Memorial Day is only 5 months away (and we all know how fast time flies).
