Life. It is what it is. Whatever it is, it’s all in how you take it. I’m liking this attitude today:
Crazy how life goes. I was on top of the world just a couple of years ago. I was lookin’ hot and doing well professionally, making a six-figure salary and had a lot of good friends in my daily life who I cared about and who cared about me. I had the support of my co-workers and was doing a great job at what I did. I was also in line to replace my boss when he retired, and did that. What a ‘top of the world’ kinda time it was! And it was…. Awesome. I loved that time in my life.
But life always has a way of smacking you down when you are feeling good, doesn’t it?!
Now, just a few years later, I am no longer lookin’ hot nor am I doing well. Though at long last I have a temporary, part-time job, it’s no six figure salary but then, it’s no six-figure stress and daily crying jag either.
I just wonder sometimes how I’m gonna make it through the next few hours. I feel like such an absolute failure at not having been able to handle things in my former job. Had I perhaps been able to cope a bit better with the Boss From Hell (hereinafter referred to as BFH), maybe life would still be ok. Not great, I’d hate my job and every minute of my day, but at least not where I am now – feeling helpless and defeated.

Not only is the Blackberry still a POS, but now The Hubby is also out of a job and I am once again the primary breadwinner, only this time minimum wage won’t quite cut it!! I have absolutely no idea how I’m going to keep my home and/or my sanity. But at least I have a few hours out of the house once in awhile to earn some $$, meet a few people and have a few laughs. And there are many who have it worse, so (yeah, yeah!) one has to keep perspective on these things.
Had a dream last night that I got a job at a local school board. Maybe that’s a sign that I stand a chance for this one!?
All of the top people who have supported me throughout my working career were in the dream, so maybe it’s a sign. Even some of the people from my new, temporary job. So maybe. Yeah, maybe…
Ciao for now! Rrraaawwhhh!
