Bad day, I need chocolate!
| Wed, 05-05-2004 - 9:14pm |
Hey there everyone. I have an entire day worth of posts to read and catch up from this morning. Went off to work with a smile and came home crying. My boss, Steve told me this morning he and his family are going to sell their house and relocate to an area right outside Richmond, Virginia. He goes to to tell me that he and his wife have been talking about moving for several months and in Feb he actually started sending out resumes. Remember 2 weeks ago I ran the office while he was "out of town"? Well he was down there, I guess interviewing. They must have offered him the job on Monday. So it looks like my perfecjob is going to be over before it really began. He told me he will be starting his new job on August 2nd and I was welcome to work right through July for him. I have such mixed feelings. Part of me is upset and angry.......someone forgot to tell this man its all about "ME". The other part of me understands and wishes him and his family well. Bill and I discussed the situation and more then likely I will work through July, take off August to be home for the rest of the summer with the kids and then look for work again in August to hopefully start something in Sept. Bill is very optimistic about how things will work out. But its still upsetting. So that is my news.......my tummy hurts, I did not exercise, nor do I feel like it. I want some chocolate and that last Easter bunny is calling my name. But do not worry I do not want that 1.4 pounds back that I lost from last week. Thanks for listening to my whining!

Look on the bright side hon...you've got some great experience in and I'm sure your boss will give you a great reference. See it through and I'll just bet there's something better waiting at the end!!
Have a nice cup of tea, a hot bath and relax!!
Love ya my friend,

I'm so sorry to hear about developments with your job. If I were you, I'd take it easy and give yourself some soothing time, then jump back on the wagon.
Hugs,

It's not unreasonable at all. You were pretty much misled by someone you trusted, which makes it all that much more painful. I often feel I'm just getting on the band wagon only to fall off again, and it's extremely frustrating. It looks as though I may need to go back to work to help boost Tim's co. (long story), and I'm not looking forward to it at all. I'm a bit nervous about it after being off 3 1/2 years and have no desire to go back to a high stress, major responsibility, game playing atmosphere. I'll be looking for something lower paying, but much more emotionally friendly.
Hang in there and hugs to you!

Bill seems to be upbeat, and he was there for you. Lean on him during this, give him a hug and a "thanks for listening, hon". It'll make you feel better, too.

Sounds like a good journaling opportunity - an emotional reaction, a stressful situation, your first reaction was to demolish the bunny, but you didn't. Think about why you didn't, and put it on paper to read the next time you hit a bump in your professional road.
Huggss,
