2008 is dead, long live 2009!

Jan 01, 2009 12:31

I'm attempting to make this post from my parents' computer, so it may not be quite as indepth or lengthy as I would like for my usual reflection on the past year and hopes for the future. Nonetheless, here goes.

We seem to be in similar spots as far as the job search and waiting for new direction/trying to take steps forward.

I came to the realization that the major reason I was still there was that I had been trying to prove to myself than I could handle a difficult situation.

Pretty much my entire job history. Why I have always felt that I MUST stick it out regardless of the situation is beyond me. That's not to say the solution is to go the opposite extreme of dropping a job every time a difficult situation arises. But when your job is causing you chest pains and seriously contemplating... not living anymore? Yeah, that's a good hint it's time to GO - whether you have another job lined up or not. Commense sense, you'd think. But not so common for Extremely Dedicated People like me. (Extremely dedicated to STUPIDITY, is what it is!)

Anyway, much success to you in 2009. Onward and upward!

Heh. Yeah, what you say right there sounds like the position I was in. :)

Success to you as well! May we both celebrate before long!

*takes a deep breath* Hard for me to welcome what I'm not sure I can see coming, but...may it be so! (Lord, hear our prayer.)

izhilzha January 4 2009, 07:26:19 UTC

Thank you. May your coming year be blessed!

leelust January 4 2009, 10:58:20 UTC

Thanx! Same to you!

WOW. A lot happened in 2008 didn't it? I love that you wrote "2008 is dead" in your subject line. That made me smile.

I don't really know what to say except that of course we're on similar yet very different journies. I am actually quite nervous and feel out of my depth. One good encouragement I got re: nerves about writing was in Russell T's book. I need to read some of that to you or something.

I still think it's a good year that's coming, but feel a bit eerie cos there's so much up in the air floating...

izhilzha January 4 2009, 07:35:02 UTC

Yeah, a lot happened! And yet I'm still waiting. :P

Keep running! I'll email you later, unless you think we should try to chat on Sunday. (I'm about to crash now, and you're about to get up I think, so shoot me email and let me know what's up! Love you, my dear.)
