cut myself a break

And sometimes I forget to do smart things… like pay the gas bill. I totally spaced. It has been a hectic week, and I did not look at the mail.

So I started a new job today, came home all sweaty and hungry, and there is no hot water, no stove or oven. Luckily it is 71 degrees outside.

Oy, do I feel silly! Oh well, guess I need to cut myself a break. That is a nice thing about being in this organization. The self forgiveness!

So what…?

What is your “so what” of the day?

My hair is turning silver… so what?

I actually need to give notice at one of my jobs. It is so hard because every time I screw up the courage to tell one of my bosses that I am quitting, they manage to tell me how wonderful they think I am and how much they appreciate my being there. Truthfully, it isn’t a horrible job by any stretch of the imagination… it is just that I was offered a higher paying, benefitted, fulltime permanent job in a field I would really like to be in… things that my current job doesn’t really offer. I wrote a letter, and am thinking of mailing it or taking it over there on Monday (I work Tuesday thru Thursday). I think that if I mail it, I can’t chicken out! Any advice for giving notice?

... AND I went to an interview without fixing them.

SO WHAT?

(Thanks to Tyra Banks and the “SO WHAT?” moment.)

There simply isn’t room enough for all 6 billion of us to work in an office… or even a series of offices. Some of us need to do other things. I am going to pledge to write. I am making it my job. I’m HIRED!

God bless me!

Coming up. I am sick and I am weak. I don’t have a job right now, and finding one at this point seems hopeless. I’m not going to fall of the edge of the world. I am not going to give in to feeling sorry for myself. On the other hand, what is is what is.

Oh
I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh

To put your whole life in perspective.

I have been very stubborn about my health. I keep telling myself that I eat right, and take walks, and drink good stuff, and don’t smoke or get drunk and that is that… I’m healthy. But I have 3 conditions which are just me… not my diet or habits, and I need to see my doctor more regularly, because they are not going to just go away.

So on with the treatment! I got a lot to live for… and living is when you are not in constant pain.

Guess what? I don’t have to be!
