Well Wednesday would not be a day I'd like to repeat. It was a pretty non-descript day over all until this afternoon. But boy, when 3:30PM hit, all bets were off. Work has just exploded. Let's just leave it at that for now - and suffice it to say I'm so disappointed in people in general that I need to do something to remind myself that, people are good and caring and that the world is a good place to be.
Right now, I feel old, jaded and disjointed. I feel disrespected and naive. I wish I could share with you what happened, but I can't. I can say it wasn't to me personally, it was to our whole company. We're all at a loss for words I think.
So here I am, still waiting to find out if I have a job and really not sure if I want it. I mean, I need it, but I don't know who to trust anymore and it scares me that my hopes are hinged on that. I hope that this is just a rough patch and that things will look up. I hope that the people left in our legacy company will lead well and be people we can trust. I have hope.
It's tough enough to go into work when you're in limbo, but add in knowing this bad news and being worried about your future and bam - makes for a great rest of the week doesn't it? :)
I love the people I work with as I mentioned previously and it breaks my heart to see any of them hurt...so that made today even more difficult. I think the next few weeks will be harder than anything I've ever been through.
I time everything well don't I? We had a reception tonight for the final night of our company - and it was in a location that wasn't air conditioned. I learned that I need air conditioning. I left feeling unwell and got home and collapsed. I swelled up like a little balloon and felt like I'd been through a marathon.
Luckily I had nothing to do, so I crashed for a bit and have rallied for now....lesson learned. Pedro hates the heat. I have been able to eat much more than before thankfully - so my energy is better.
So here I am, pregnant - still haven't heard the heartbeat and still not sure if I have a job....woohoo! I sure know how to time things don't I? I never did do things like everyone else, but I think all of this is testing things - it's a bit much isn't it?
For now, I have no option other than to wait. I'm practicing my 'Darth Vader' breathing and trying to calm my mind and focus only on today. Easier said than done - but I can do this - I'll be in good company as all of my co-workers are in limbo in some shape or form as well.
Pray for all of us - it's a difficult thing to go through at any time, but add in the current state of our economy and job market and it's downright butt clenching scary.
SO the goal for tomorrow is to keep my butt cheeks relaxed and focus on breathing - and eating and drinking. I have control over these things - life is good. Oh and Pedro is now the size of a blueberry! Yay!
Happy Thursday Ya'll.
