Well, after dealing with getting over an ex and making sure he's paying joint bills, I decide to just focus on my job for awhile. I know it well, and I'm good at it. Should mean a little less stress while I get me and my life back into focus.

We had a meeting today, and the portion of the company that I'm a part of has been sold. Luckily, it will be in Springfield. Unluckily, there are only so many spots available at the new company. While I know that I will still have a job, I don't know what I'll be doing or if I'll have to take a subtantial paycut.

So much for less stress.

UPDATE: I just got offered a new position with the original company. I'll be able to stay where I'm at!! I'm now part of the technical support group. I'll be learning how to import and export data, etc. Kinda nervous, but so thankful for the opportunity.

Head up luv. The sun will come up tomorrow. Then you can begin to take over the world.

**cdcox** · 08-12-2008, 09:49 PM

Best wishes, luv. Sorry you are going though this difficult time. From my experience, life is full of these cycles where things are going your way and then not so much. You'll pull through this rough patch.

When I get down, i remind myself, I google "how to get rid of the blues" then I look at what I have, health, how good I phyiscally feel, and that I live in America where you can do most the stuff you want. Then I remind myself that I will die at some point, and I don't want to be like, wow I was so ****ing moopy.... now I am dead

Yeah - you don't have it too bad, Luv. One of my workers fell off a ladder today. She'll be out for a long time. In this industry, if you aren't workin you aren't eatin. I'll do what I can to help her but she'll probably get evicted.

Nah - we had one show up late and we picked up a scrub from another team. That second game was the best of the season. We came from 6 down, tied it to force extra innings, and then held on for the win. Great times.

Luv, you should look around for something else. That company is just too schizo. Call headhunters and look for something similar to what you are doing. Put the ball back in their court and start playing offense instead of defense.

Yes, I share about my life, but not all of it. Anything else that's none of your business knowing or sharing that you'd like to put out there for discussion?

I'm glad you're able to laugh at someone else having a hard time whenever you boohoo about yours.

Way to stand up for yourself.

I really don't understand what you going to Vegas with an old friend has to do with some asshole trying to ruin your credit, and worrying about your job.

Seems like a ****ing lame attempt to say you deserved such things.
