3-hanky session at T's office today

Let me just say that I hate crying and avoid it at all costs, but today in my session I broke down and cried (I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've cried in a session) and used 3 Kleenexes when I told her about not getting the job. So now my face is lovely and red and I still feel like crying. I'm stuck at work the rest of the afternoon and will have to work late tonight. If it gets really bad, I'll fake illness and leave. It is really hard sitting here when I know I didn't get that other job.


It was a good session, though. She was very concerned about me and how upset I was. She's not used to seeing me like that.

Once again, I know how disappointed you are, Laura, about not getting the job. I am really sorry. Tears are a great way to reduce stress & a great healer for us women. I am so thankful you could get this out to your *T.* I know that you haven't always found it easy to show your true emotions. I personally think this was a real breakthrough for you. Wear your red face like a badge of honor. For what you've been through, you deserve it! I hope you feel better soon. (((hugs))) jan

Awww, thanks Jan. I'm still pretty down sometimes, but I'm slowly trying to do things to cheer myself up. I've decided that doing unexpected nice things for people is a good way to go, so I've gotten back into the bookcrossing.com site (it's a book exchange site).


And--drum roll please--my ultimate fantasy dream job has opened up at my alma mater. I worked for my college for 3 years after graduation and loved it. The only reason I left is that I needed a better paying job. Well, this job is much higher up the food chain and even if they were to pay me at the minimum salary range for the position, it would still be a lot more than I make now. I am perfect for it. I know I said that about the other job, but I really am perfect for this one. So I'm working on my application and I hope to send it out this week. It's a small college, and jobs don't open up there very often. I've had my eye on this job for *years.*


*T* is off this week, but that's okay. I needed a break anyway. There's kind of an ebb and flow where sometimes I feel like it's really helping, and other times when I just end up getting annoyed.

That is great news, Laura! I may have to come up there & help with that application. It's making me anxious that you don't have it in yet. LOL Good luck! (((hugs))) jan
