stupid office luncheon

My *T* sessions have been going amazingly well for the past couple of weeks. We hit a rough patch there for awhile, but things got worked out and I've been more relaxed and willing to open up in there (that was the issue--I had started clamming up again). And I *need* those once a week sessions. But next week my office is going out to lunch to welcome a new coworker, and wouldn't you know they picked my *T* day even though it is on the office calendar that I have an appointment then. So yesterday when I was at my session I had to cancel next week because she didn't have any openings for a different day and/or time. I wouldn't have cared so much, say, last month when things were kind of tense but now that things are going better I actually look forward to the sessions and I hate that I have to miss it. I knew it would look really bad if I skipped the lunch, so I felt like I had no choice but to cancel my appointment.

I can see your point, Laura. Knowing that you made it through your *T's* vacation a couple months ago, I am sure you'll do the same. In your posistion, I think I would be a bit miffed that the luncheon was scheduled when they KNEW I was booked. I am sensitive to things like that. I hope you don't sit & stew like me. LOL If you need any support without that appointment, lean on the board. Good luck & have a good weekend:) (((hugs))) jan

Well, in all fairness the lunch was originally scheduled for 12:30 and my session ends at 12:00--so it would have been a tight squeeze, but still workable--but my incredibly annoying boss changed it to 12 p.m. And even though the lunch was 2 weeks away at the time, my *T* was already booked solid.

Thanks as always. I'm not really feeling better, but the sessions seem to be helping. I'm kind of in a holding pattern as far as my job goes. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do for a living (it sure isn't what I'm doing now! haha), so I'm at a loss about what kinds of jobs to apply for. And I don't seem to have the right kind of experience, yet nobody will hire me so I can gain the experience. And I've done some career counseling, but it hasn't helped. I think my depression has clouded my career aptitude/interest test results. I didn't score highly on any careers and the ones that scored even remotely above average for me (translator, college professor, attorney) hold no interest for me at all.
