a while ago when i was in lousy shape...not too much unlike now(& just in case i should convey the idea that i'm having a good day...lice is in my home again & i think this time i have it.what is this?time # 7 this year?my show opens fri my laundry is all over the floor & i don't have time to battle lice & nits)
anyway..i gave my summer job to someone in the show with me,who is very qualified & very gung ho & didn't make me jealous.
on the flip side she has an air of superiority & is very very slow at returning calls which drives my old boss nuts since its already may.it also makes our show director crazy.
so the guy(boss)calls me to ask what's up.i call her & she says her voice hurts so she's not making any calls.i told her how serious this was & he'd replace her if she didn't at least call him.she got nuts & called him.
turns out he told me he wasn't comfortable with her & would i reconsider.
i love the money & i also felt i had been greatly complimented.so i said ok,but we agreed not to tell her right now.
did i do something worthy of terrible shame & punishment?
tell me the truth.
btw...i also got some amazing compliments at the theater,about how GRATEFUL they are that i'm back & how well i'm doing...from the director & the producer.
am i in the twilite zone?

Suzi - you deserve to feel good about yourself. You have felt so lousy for so long it's high time things started going your way. The lice is a set-back and a pain in the rear one at that. But you will get through it. As for feeling guilty about taking your job back, don't. The other girl chose to blow off the boss - that's on her not you. And apparently your boss likes the work you do so why not? And it sounds as though your theater company is thrilled to have you back. So enjoy this time...you so deserve it!! And you are NOT a terrible person for enjoying it.
Hugs,

I think you did EXACTLY the RIGHT thing. I'm proud of you and amazingly excited for you. THis is what you NEED to be doing, honey...living your life...so what you have lice again...F them...they will come and go forever for at least a year until you finally get rid of them...they do not mean JACK! Just go through the motions, make stupid h help, and LIVE YOUR LIFE!
I'm very very proud of you, SUZI!!!
Love you,
Keli
