There was a time in my life when my version of a worst job ever was a 9-5 job.
I rather have a fun, casual working environment where we can go to work in t-shirts and jeans (even shorts sometimes!), throw paper airplanes (or just job requisitions squished up into a ball) at people or race around the office seating in office chairs (the ones with the wheels).
I could not work if it wasn't in an adrenaline filled, trouble shooting on the fly, never say die, time crisis environment.
But now ..... what I wouldn't give for a stable 9-5 job, with more annual leave (and not have to worry or make / receive calls when away on holiday), dental benefits and a bonus at the end of the year.
Of course with the state of the world, I must be dreaming to even imagine a cushy job.
People are losing their jobs and worrying about their rice bowls.
So no matter how tough it is currently, no matter how much I cry or no matter how much I doubt myself, it's probably still a better situation to be in.
That's what I keep telling myself.
Thank you to friends and readers for all your words of encouragement.
I'll probably emerge stronger after this .... but why put myself thru this shit??!!! It's not worth it!!! No no no wait ... pull back. Breathe ... yes I've been reminding myself to breathe a lot these days.
I'm just taking it one day at a time. Anyway with the unstability of the market, no point planning too far away anyway. Tomorrow is another day and I sure hope it's a good one!
