Hey, ya'll. Not entirely sure why I'm updating on this side today; I guess I wanted somewhere to talk and not feel 100% alone as I did so. I'm in one of those moments in my life where I've realized that I let things go to shit, but I want them resolved, but the realization that I can't resolve things immediately kills me. My combination of

I'm sorry things have been so rough. I didn't last as long at it, but your description sounds a lot like me when I first graduated college and I was working at Target, trying to stay in the town I went to school in. I called out a lot and it was only rarely because I actually was sick; it was because I was miserable and didn't want to do it. I didn't want to move home, but in the long run, it helped me a lot. I feel like I'm ready to get out on my own again, but even though financially I can't afford that right now, I think I'll be ready for it emotionally once I've saved enough.

I've heard this about so many of my friends who have worked with Disney, and that sucks. :-/ Hang in there, though. As soon as you can, I think you'll feel much better once you get away. When you're in the right job, you know it. When I was working my teaching job, I only called out when I was pretty much dying of illness, I think only 3 days the entire time. When you're in a job you love, you want to go. I think the reason you've been having these issues is

Thank you. :) I definitely think the fact that I want to turn the Disney-part of my brain off is a big part of why I have such a struggle going. The fact that I'm looking to go home is a big frightening for me, given that I've never really missed the place, but a "second chance" might just be what I need.

Oh, my dear Samantha, we really should catch up as it sounds like we're in the same vicinity.

[salukfan]

Ha, absolutely! Nothing quite like mutual misery to bring people back together, I say!

[princealia]

Such an uplifting note to start off with!

[salukfan]

We are awesome!

Hey you lovely thing. <3 I'd love to catch up with you too. Now and again I'll spot you logging onto skype for moments at a time -- I should totally try to trap you into chatting with me when I see you.

Miss you bb and I'd love to talk about these things with you!

[salukfan]

Yes, let's catch up too! Let's ALL catch up! Skype kept trying to start itself up when I booted up the computer, even when I told it not to, so that's why that keeps happening! Let's have a chat sometime!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to see this post. (And now our conversation from Monday makes so much more sense.)

This is probably a lame suggestion, but what about just brainstorming/free writing where you'd like to see yourself going over the next few years? (And then I'm gonna steal you & bring you back to Austin with me/us. Yep.)

P.S. Have a digital hug.
