Hi everyone!


I need to get something off my chest!


I started this new job back in May....and really felt like this was the one for me.


But I feel like all I've ever done since I've been hired is screw up....


I let some major projects fall through the cracks - ones which I was hired specifically to do.

Hugs to you booklover1212

I understand totally what you are going thru.......Just remember to treat each day as a NEW day, a NEW beginning. Try not to only think of your past, try and think how you can make it better each minute, each hour.

Go to work Monday, start fresh, put in 100% like you said, as if nothing was wrong this week.......Thats how I used to handle these things, I was always in the managers office due to missing work, and being late......I didnt know at the time that I had a sleep disorder and suffered from depression so I just thought I was a lazy good for nothing.....WELL Im NOT, and neither are you,

YOU deserve all the chances YOURE willing to take, Dont give up, Just try and look at it from a new way. The problems you have are NOT self inflicted and you cant expect yourself to just change, but give yourself a break EVERY day,

YOu are doing what you CAN.......I have been unemployed for years now,so broke I cant afford heat...lol am single over forty with a only a cat, no dh,no one to call mine, but happy, happier than I have ever been, because I am giving myself a break, I just look at each problem with.....what can "I" do different?

If I cant do it different, I let it go, and stop beating myself up, If I can see something I can do, then I do it, and feel good that I did.

Im sorry if I rambled, but I mainly just wanted to tell you someone is listening and got out from under

Have a good one,

Hey Jennifer,

I also know you from the Compulsive Spenders board....look like we have allot in common! I honestly thought I was the only one that could sabotage my job the way I have been the last couple of years. In other words...you're not alone! I let things slip through the cracks all the time but somehow dig myself out. I know that I could have been promoted 3 times over if I would just do my job the way that I know that I can....but something always holds me back - me. I'm lucky that I've been the same job for 4 years but things are slipping way too much right now. I've got to do something to get back on top of things.

I know that today you were supposed to go back to work so let me know how it went because I'm pulling for you!
