Funny how we get encouragement from the most interesting places. I have been unhappy at my job for some time now, not because I don't like what I do or the company I work for, but because my boss can be very difficult. She doesn't know how to talk to people and I think she is a bit of a manipulator, doing what she can to keep information from people so that she is more "important" and would be difficult to replace. And she's a bully. Anyway, it's time to move on but that's often quite frightening and I sometimes think, well, the devil I know is better than the devil I don't.. .blah blah blah. . .even though this devil has made me cry with her nasty tone and insulting remarks. Maybe I should wait. . .maybe I won't find a job. . .maybe no one will hire me. . .what's the use in this economy. . .etc.
So I get this fortune cookie "Delay is the most detrimental form of denial" :D
and I start applying for jobs both within and outside of my company.
So far, no luck and I start to get discouraged. Again I think. . .what's the use. . .I don't have the right skills. . .I'm too old for this nonsense. . .etc
and then I get this fortune cookie "If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten" :D
Think someone's trying to tell me something?
