It’s been pointed out to me by a couple of friends that I come across as pretty sad lately on this blog. I think I mainly have been inspired to blog when I’m worried or upset or sad about something, so the emotional balance here is skewed. Anyway, it just occurred to me as I was walking to my car after work today that I’m so happy right now. I love my job. Yes, the job I’ve been desperately trying to get away from. That’s right. Because all of a sudden I have more than enough to do, I have a new coworker who looks up to me and thinks I’m nice and funny and smart. I really like being the senior person and not having to hide that I’m better at our job than the person who taught me. And we have a nice new office with really big desks. So I’m feeling recognized and appreciated and no longer bored. It’s making a big difference.
And I also feel like I’m suddenly making some friends. Maybe I reached the tipping point, maybe I started making more of an effort, or maybe the Universe heard my request. And vacation is only days away. And W and I had a really nice relationship talk last night. Don’t worry, no big crisis or anything, just one of those ‘Where are we now?’ talks that brought us to some nice conclusions and felt affirming and good. So, don’t worry about me, I’m doing great.
At the same time, there was sad news today, too. Big love to Jen and Jen. Sam was a great dog.
