Life's too short...

Ever get the idea the universe is trying to tell you something? Today was one of those days. Slept in, and was nearly late for work; annoying, but all good. Get to work, get stuck into things... and get pulled aside by the manager. Have the usual moment of paranoia, but turns out I had it all wrong; one of the girls I work with had three cardiac

It's always an eye-opener when someone dies or is dying young, especially when most of us expect to live to at least 80! I hope, if she doesn't make it, her husband and child can still carry on and have good lives.
For my part, I'm not afraid of death, whenever it happens to me. I think it's going to be fascinating. My only concern would be for my family and my cats, who'd have to go on without me.

I had to laugh at your boss. It sucks that you didn't get the promotion, but what a ridiculous reason! As far as I can remember, you've always spoken very well, so I highly doubt that you'd have put anything on! I'd also have thought an eloquent speaker would make a better employee, especially if it was anything to do with sales, customer service or dealing with other companies.

You might get where you want to be faster working for somebody else.

Possibly. I borked this one bigtime - nowhere near enough prep - but I'm ready fir the next. Time will tell - we'll re-evaluate if I miss the next one.

Enduring isn't so much the issue; I like my job, and in all honesty, I'm progressing a hell of a lot faster than I probably 'should' be. Just bad news piled on top of bad news that day.

As far as moving/support/etc; changing one's environment is never a cureall for anything. It may be good or bad; I dunno. I do think in a lot of respects I glorify the old days up north, and when I do go up I only get to see the good stuff, with none of the politics and crap to distract from it - people always put their best foot forward and bury grudges for special events, and that's what my visits are... And as far as moving... the longer I'm here, the more I like it. Six months ago I would left in a heartbeat. Now... it's actually getting to be a hard call. Cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess... unless you and your house o' mad bastards wanna move with me? *grin*
