the ugly truth

I’m not in the mood for sugar coating. I traded yesterday’s work day for Saturday and then spent 1/3rd of the day sleeping, 1/3rd of the day sobbing and 1/3rd of the day suffering the worst headache I’ve had in ages. No paintings were hung, no show was participated in. I e-mailed the club and informed that this month was bad for me. I feel awful about that. I feel awful, in general.
Deep regrets for signing a year-long contract with a job that puts me into a bad mood every day that I’m there. I did it for the money, I did it for the future child, and currently the job is stressing me out so badly I don’t even want the child, how’s that for some “Gift of the Magi” shit, eh?
Today’s inspirational quote, courtesy of Alcoholics Anonymous: “Fake it ’til you make it“.
hey, I GET THIS completely. I’m afraid I have no special advice because I don’t know myself. Doing something just for the money sucks, I know… I do it too. Every morning I get up and think “here goes another groundhog day…” and man… that depresses me. God, I don’t think I’m very good at being supportive because I don’t think I have one of those cheery ass personalities… sometimes stuff sucks and sadly we need to experience that. Maybe I’m too realistic?
Fake it ’til you make it…good quote… sometimes hard to do though isn’t it…
Play that pink sparkly ukelele and sing some sort of angry song.
Awww… :( Every day is bad? Were the film conversations with the Goth kid at work? I hope today somehow is not so bad for you. *hug*
I definitely hope today is a better day for you; I’m in a job “for the money” right now so you have my sympathy and understanding.
Just try to do your best to disassociate yourself from your work, leave it there as much as possible once you turn off your computer or walk out of the buliding. I find it really helps.
Big hugs.
I used to be super stressed at work too. I made some friends at the dog park one day that mentioned needing a dog walker, and one thing lead to another and here I am. I quit a corporate job 3 years ago, and I’ve never been happier. I walk my dog everyday anyways, now I just get paid for it. Dogs are much easier to work with than people. I have way less anxiety, and way more free time. Maybe you could look into something like that? You seem like you’re good with animals.
OH MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
shit.
SHIT, man.
let’s switch jobs!
let’s be co-workers!!
heh.
job misery is SO. NOT. worth it!
gah.
Oh thanks blogfriends, it’s just one of my bi/tri/multi annual meltdowns where I say I HATE MY LIFE AND EVERYTHING IN IT and then the next day/week/month I say, what was that all about? Shit!
I don’t have words for you, but I have a huge hug. ((( Liz)))
