How I did it: When the question came I did not back and said it directly. I felt that there is no way to save the relationship than to say what I feel and I did not care anymore if the relationship would be saved or not. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend told me that there is a free full-time position at the Institute where he is working part time. So when my former boss told me that she is not going to extend my contract, I applied for the position, met with the Director and both sides agreed with the conditions and that was basically it.What is best about it is that I did not have to worry about where to go and I know people working there already. Bonus is that it is much bette… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had to realize what I really did not want to do and whether resons I did it were reasonable enough. And if it was just social conventions, lazyness or fear, I tried to stay firm.Sometimes helps that I talk about it so much that then it feels stupid to yield to external pressure and it helps me to keep my boundaries.And the most important is maybe to realize what things really are important and why and keep rechecking the list. Read how I did it…
I think I will content with the fact that I am at last able to turn down some requests from some people. And I realized that usually I genuinely feel sorry that I am not able (or willing, for that matter) to help. So I do not care about the apologizing thing anymore and consider as success that I can say no.
I got one paper rejected; there is no chance to do the norm this year. i will have to explain it to the boss.
things are moving much slower than i was used to and this takes away my enthusiasm. i am not even sure anymore if i am suited for the kind of work that is expected from me. time is clicking fast, but i do not seem to see any great results behind me but scraps.
I expressed my negative feelings (not so much anger as also dissappointment) to my former friend and it was like a weight lifting from my chest. things does not need to change (I do not think she will start to behave in other way, especially related to the issue that makes me so angry and disgusted), but I do not care anymore – it does not make me feel angry anymore.
it was the first time I spoke to someone really directly, not trying to soften the things or saying only part of the real feeling, and it really worked.
moral: next time I will have to prevent building up of so much anger by directly expressing of my discomfort.
