and i received another blow today, one of my key people are leaving and i have not a clue how to replace her
i am feeling defeated. i am trying very hard not to get into the "if work is going good, then my personal life is crap" state of mind. then i think that it is karma for my problem child leaving.
i am just trying to give it to god
interestingly enough i had a guy call me about a job interview, he had seen my resume' on my college website. i have to go see him on monday. i doubt they can pay me what i need, but it would be interesting and less stressful to do something else than what i have done the last two decades of my life.
i talked to my sister today, i guess she has been committed since the day she showed up in Tulsa and i went and got her. she doesn't really remember that day. she sounded good. they have diagnosed her again with schitzophernia and i can say that she does get very paranoid. she is part of a program where someone comes by either daily or a few times a week and makes sure she is taking her meds. she is also taking a three month shot, which should help her not to forget her meds. i don't know what to think and i am really not going to put much thought into it because i am emotionally exhausted from my own personal roller coaster.
i am trying very hard to have a positive attitude about this entire week but it is hard. i had a boss once who told me that my first reaction to change was always to be negative and then after i sat with it awhile, i would calm down and start to see the bright side of things.
lord, i hope so. i could really use the favor.
If the job would be in your college field of study you might ask if they would be willing to pay for the remainder of your school in exchange for a commitment to stay for x amount of time, especially if they can't meet your salary requirement. It might be a way to get more money in the long run. Don't let your job get you down...it doesn't define you as a human being. People come and people go...but you are the same person no matter what.
