Epiphany
I hate my job. I hate my boss. 40 days to election day. He’s a good legislator, but lousy in human relations, especially when it comes to his staff. I used to get bunched up with anxiety. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t relax. I couldn’t be happy. I am so ready to quit and I am NOT a quitter. But I realize that this man needs me far more than I need him. It would not serve him at all to make me so mad with his baseless personal attacks that I walk out the door. He needs me. I don’t need him. 40 days. Win or lose, my job here is done. HALLE-freakin-LUJAH!
I sent my resume to a friend of mine yesterday. She works in human resources and has some phenomenal contacts. I’m hitting the ground running. I’m spending part of my days scouring the internet. Tomorrow I start posting my resume.
Realizing that I can walk away without a care in the world really energizes me. I am not a quitter. I am not a bridge burner. I can honestly look at the man with no malice or remorse and just say, "Thank you and good bye".
If you are in the Philadelphia area and need a highly accomplished planner, organizer, problem solver, trainer, team builder, dot-connector, just let me know. I’m going to be available sooner, rather than later. And I’m entertaining. : )
I’m sorry. RYN: I know, shame on us. We don’t recycle. We should. Actually we do sometimes. But Tom continued to throw his recycled crap in the regular trash and I just gave the crap up. Ugh.

RYN: He does. And I do exercises with him too. I practice throwing a ball and things like that but he’s still very awkward. He’s better than he was but he just isn’t as good as his friends and that frustrates him. He asks me all the time, “Mommy, why won’t my legs run fast too?”

Gosh, I must have been away longer than I thought. How are you doing with your job search? I hope the job market in Philadelphia is better than it is in NC. So many people are losing their jobs. Good luck in your search!

RYN: Quinine might have helped with leg cramps if I had leg cramps at the time. But I didn’t. I had never had leg cramps so I didn’t know what was happening. I actually had severe nerve pain due to a ruptured disc in my lower back that caused leg pain. The doctor insisted it was just leg cramps. He wasn’t a very good listener. NOW I know what leg cramps are! Not fun either but not nearly as bad!

RYN: I do wash our sheets every few days it seems because I swear they stink. Tom thinks I’m nuts. And I usually wash my pillowcase every other night because I DO drool. It’s embarrassing, really..
