The Drama Queen ContinuesSealed

 

Why is it not everyone's priority that make sure I am employed?  I am excited about a new opportunity with the Fed, where the IT is and I just want it to happen.  Finish the back ground checks and let me know when my first day is.  I have an irrational fear that all will fall apart and I'll be back with nothing when my 60 day notice ends. I am astonished how my  sense of self and confidence is wrapped up in being employeed.  I am a victim of this American culture that force us to live to work for meaningless material consumption (mostly).   I want to be comfortable in my own skin just being terriann from moment to moment.

 

I know I have alot to offer in the right environment.  Please God, help me to be kind, gentle and patient with myself.  It will happen.Surprised

Moving On from Job Loss Mood
Monday, February 9, 2009 | A Breaking News story

Over the last few days, I interviewed for a new job and received a tentative offer.  This new opportunity will better use my skill and allow me to contribute in a positive way.

 

I do have fear of the potential stress levels and personalities that await me.  But I know that I am a  hard worker that strives to do my best.

Paper Soothes the Savage Beast Mood
Thursday, February 5, 2009 | A Venting story

While I knew it was time to move on from my current job and was looking, the layoff happened before I found something else..My ego so identifies with my job because there lacks a balance between who I am at work and in my personal life.  I live to work, not so much by choice but by habit.  At times, the job was an escape from the real pain and chaos of my personal life, now it is a way to have a life...this is a lesson to build strength of soul and character.

 

Life moves on, the sound of life happening, its just the way it goes and at the end of the day.  I'm afraid of the stess buckets out there waiting for me, will there be another "stress bucket" to jump into?  Is this the doorway to something better?  It must be?  I have control of making it better.  Of being valued, accepted, creative in all aspects of my life  Cut out the drama, its just a job.  I was looking for one when I got this..

    Oh aren't we all so dramatic...I get a little problem in my life and I turn it into disaster in my head.We need to try to look at the positive side of life,even when thinking about positive things seems sarcastic! (lol).
    I always laugh at the tragic comedy that is my life.That helps...laughing at yourself.
