Got news this morning. I may have a new job.....but in a role I did 15 years ago.....one I ended up hating. However, times have changed.....the job market is quite precarious....and one simply needs to adopt survival mode in the current economic climate.
Who knows, what appears to be three steps back, could be a blessing in disguise. It is hard to tell at the current moment. Again, this whole situation has brought to light that sometimes with age....wisdom and maturity does happen....even for men!!! :-). 10 years ago I would have reacted in a much more negative/drama Queen way. Now at least, it is possible to retain a bit of perspective, and realise that this is just another patch in the quilt of life....that life must go on....that I need to keep the faith as Mr Bon Jovi would say and tell myself....this new job does not have to be my final career....that I have to find a new career path....and the search goes on.
For today.....I will allow myself to feel like crap....best to allow yourself to recognise your feelings, process them.....learn from them.....understand them....and then bury them. Friends and wine also help....and thankfully I have both :-)
You really are a tad oversensitive I think. You live in one of the richest countries in the world, you have a new job, you have friends, family and wine. What else do you need to feel good?

Not over sensitive. How would you feel if you had no other choice, for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, but to do something you hate? Would you be able to brush that emotion immediately aside?
DeleteNo, not brush it aside but play it down. I did exactly that for a couple of years quite recently. You focus on other things in life that are more interesting. Plus the fact that you are free to look for other jobs, while still having an income.
ReplyDeleteBite the bullet this time, and remember how lucky you are after all.

Thanks A. Good advice but believe me when I say that this I have in mind ;-). The news I just found out today, so the feelings are rather raw ;-)
