Let me be clear, because people get this wrong.
I’m not telling you to quit. I’m not saying a woman with a career is doing it wrong. I loved parts of that job and I was good at it.
What I couldn’t do anymore was find out about my daughter’s life from a text message.
She rolled over for the first time and I watched it on my phone in my cubicle, between projects. Somebody else saw it live. I saw the replay.
That’s the part I’m against. Not work. Not ambition. Not women making money, I want more of that, not less.
Just the part where someone else gets the firsts and you get the footage.
If you’re still in it and you’re tired of watching the replay, tell me. I was there.
