You are right Nate. I am a survivor. I always land on my feet. I am like the Phoenix that burns up in it's own flames only to rebuild from the ashes.....enough? :) The people that know me know I WILL reach my goals even if they sound crazy! :)
Oh I'll find something. I was just frustrated. The second interview I went on for this snotty restaurant really irritated me when the owners brother came over to interview me , nearly knocking me out with the booze on his breath and drunk at 2pm. Then I was told by the GM that I had met a few days earlier that "We got our wires crossed" and he dismissed me seconds later. I'm not sure exactly what he meant by that, except that he must have already made his choice before I made the 45 min drive back up there. Phooey on them. I have a hard time taking anyone serious that would dump $100 for a "cheap" meal for two. The meals up there usually run in the $300 range for two for dinner. That's just stupid IMO. It's a hunk of dead cow on your plate! However I'd be happy to serve you and take that 20% tip.
I regretted sending that last one as soon as I hit send...you know how that goes. Just venting today. Being off work is OK for a while. But I've always worked 2 jobs even when I had that six figure income. Not greed. I love being busy. I also love being able to pay my bills on time, buy toothpaste when I need it, or splurge on a hot fudge sundae. Kevin went to the movies the other night and I thought "Good!" (Now I don't have to suffer through that movie at home!) I can't remember the last time either of us went OUT to the movies. The universe doesn't like a vacuum we can't just work, work, work. There has to be some fun in there too.
Things really are great. I drive a Mercedes! I am super healthy. I love it when Kevin who is 2 yrs 2 weeks younger gets asked "So how much younger is your wife than you?" Or "Really? She just turned 51? I thought she was in her early thirties!" Not that I care what I look like to others, it's just cool to have proof that what I am doing to take care of myself works! I have loads of love in my life. I have a roof over my head, even though the tax office is trying to tell me it's worth far more than what it is..can't wait to show them the 50 or so pictures I've taken.
Hang in there Trish ;
Out parents made it through this sort of deep depression too , I view you as a survivor like me .
