Feeling Hopeful
So Much, So Little Time...
Not that anyone actually missed more or anything, I just figured I would write because I am going through a lot right now.
It has been almost 2 months since my last entry, that is the longest I have ever gone without writing an entry. I do have to admit, this past year I haven't really been writing in my journal much.
In the past 2 months soooooooo much has happened, my mom was rushed to the hospital, she is ok now. She has been seeing all kinds of doctors and what not. No real answers yet.
Joe has been away a lot for work, which was sucking because we were NEVER able to see each other. But that is all changing now, I will tell you why in a minute, just gotta wait.
A lot has been going on at work, so much crap and it just doesn't seem to be getting any better, actually it seems like it was just getting worse. I had a four day weekend this past weekend. When I went back in on Monday I just couldn't handle it anymore, and I quit.
I didn't give notice or anything, and the reason for that is because I know they would talk me out of it, they always do. I just can't take the stress anymore, I don't want the stress of being the boss of a job I have come to hate.
When Joe came home from work on Monday, I was afraid to tell him I thought he was going to be mad at me. He wasn't, I was actually kind of surprised by his reaction. The first thing that came out of his mouth was, go get a part time job and maybe now we will be able to spend more time together. That sounds good to me :)
I have been at a crossroads for the past couple of days, because I quit our financial situation isn't going to be what it was. I made really good money, and now we won't have that nice income coming in. Don't worry we won't be poor, just not as much money as before, and that is going to put a strain on us for a while.
I have been avoiding calls from work, I just don't want to let them down. I know that by me leaving it is going to put them in a really bad bind, but I have to do it for me, and for my relationship with Joe. Not to mention I think I may have an ulcer, for the past month I have been getting heartburn a lot, but only when I am at work. Strange huh??
I have only talked about this with a few people, I am afraid if I let everyone know I quit they will think of me as a quitter. I had to do this though, there are a million reasons why, reasons that no one really needs to know, if you think I am a quitter so be it, I know the real truth.
I don't know what the future holds for me, but for now I am going to go look for a part-time job and maybe look into going back to school. I never had that chance if I stayed at KFC.
I look at this as a good thing, a new beginning I feel good things will come!!
Until Later
Cindy

Cindy,
A job that makes you unhappy is not a job
worth keeping. You did the right thing, and
an even better job will come!
Love,
Connie -
You have to do what is best for you...You havent been happy with that job in a long time...so no worries! What is suppose to happen, will happen! It is a good time for you to get to go back to school.
I know what you mean about ulcers...the last couple of days @ work, each time I would hear 2 particular peoples' voices, my stomach would wrench like it was in knots....so I think that I am getting one too...I totally feel ya!!
hugs,

Hey Cindy - I have been here waiting for you and I have missed you. :-) I'm glad that you are doing things for YOU. It's about time that one of us does it! ;-) Maybe I can follow suit. . I'm scared to do things for ME. What if I let them down? But I'm soooo glad that you have taken a stand for yourself. Good for you.
I'm proud of you. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story and details.
Hugs,
Holly
