Out of Normal: Happy Humpday.....

June 04, 2003

Happy Humpday.....

Most of you are over the "Hump" of the week at somewhere around Noon on Wednesday. Well, my workweek is just beginning. I am none too fond of that. I am unsure of where to go with my life right now. Whats new, right? I really am at a crossroads, and all directions are appearing bleak and unfulfilling.

After taking a few minutes to reflect on where things started to go south, I found that I was really happy, career wise, until the company where I am on contract decided to start jerking my schedule around. This has caused me a load of grief, as I am on complete opposite schedules from those who I spent the majority of my time with. I can barely see any of my friends anymore, and it REALLY sucks. I have invested the last five and a half years of my life with this place, and I get no consideration in return. It is quite a kick to the ego to realize that I am just another cog in the wheel.

I have been considering several different options, and as of right now, none of them seem to be viable. I really need to decide what I am going to do soon.

Sounds like the company is becoming a parent figure thing - maybe the company doesn't like your friends. Seriously, I know where you are right now - I, too, am standing at a crossroad with a sign pointing in about eight directions. Sucks, doesn't it? Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm. Maybe we need to meditate...sometimes no action is the best action to take in the moment. Namaste', dear friend.

I agree, sometimes no action is the best within the moment itself, because usually as humans we allow emotions to rule choices. Remove emotions and we realize.....we can cope until.. Could be like my situation, work escorts or runs people out the door, then allows others to work overtime to meet contractual obligations. Being the team player, sucker and human who wants to pay bills. I'm the lucky one working 6 days a week instead of 4, which could change any minute. Hey I could be in the unemployment line.

Thanks ladies, the wonderful inspiration is always appreciated. Unemployment isn't really an option, but the thought actually brings a smile for a moment. I guess that it is more of a comfortable thought as I am currently financially stable. If I were not so, the thought might be scarier. I guess that my work gripes are compounded by other decisions needing to be made, and what direction those will take me in as well. Fall will be a wonderful time, and Im looking forward to it getting here soon!
