Jessica stared at the salary comparison spreadsheet, her jaw dropping. The data analyst, fresh out of school, was earning more than her! More than *her*, who had all the experience! A wave ofโ€ฆ of *something* washed over her. It tingled on her skin, making her feel like a plugged-in wire.

She turned to her computer. The words on the screen suddenly seemed to leap out at her, each one filled with potential. She felt a renewed interest in her work. The projects she'd put off now seemed like exciting prospects, not chores.

She spent the afternoon reorganizing her workstation, discarding the unnecessary, and arranging for her next steps. She had a renewed drive. She was ready.
