Work has been... crazy. And stressful. More layoffs last week. One person in our department is gone and we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off to make sure the work load is taken care of. I think we were (and still are) in shock. I work in the Replacement Parts division which is BUSY right now. But as busy as we are, our company is still trying to get through tough times.
Most days (or so it seems, lately) I am exhausted by the time I get home work (or the gym). I vent to M on a regular basis about how I can't stand it any longer. I posted this. There have been tears. I swore I would spend every minute I can in the evenings looking for a new job... you know, one where I will actually be appreciated.
I have no patience. When I want something, I want it NOW. I have been realizing that I need to accept that not everything will happen at the pace I want it to. While I have come to the conclusion that my job is just that... a job. Until something else - that I actually WANT to do - comes a long, I need my job.
I have been searching for opportunities, but for one thing, there are not a lot of jobs out there. Second, the last thing I want to do is take the first job available only to end up in the same predicament I am in now. For now, I'm just trying to focus on the positive and doing whatever I can to de-stress.
On a happier note, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
I will post tomorrow about the gift that I received in the mail from Melissa's Valentine's Day swap.
