Professional

Going back to Thursday....the day when I realized I really messed up on something.....

For whatever reason, we were talking about credit cards....

MOM:  When your salary gets to $100k, you can give me a credit card to use.

ME:  haha...$100k.  Yea.  When I get there.

MOM:  A lot?  Don't look down on yourself.  After all, you are going to be a professional.

ME:  Hm.

Yes.  I do realize that I'm supposed to be on the path to be a professional.  If all goes as planned, a year from now, I'll have passed the CKE and in the process of doing SOA.

But with my epic failure that day, her use of the word "professional" seemed to carry a lot of weight.

All of a sudden, I'm not so sure I can do it anymore.
