Pity, Party of One

I am not proud to admit this, but I am having a self-pity day. And that drives me absolutely insane. I am not the kind of person who will accept this kind of behavior/mood from anyone, and especially not from myself. Is there anything more annoying?

When I attempt to show friends and family who wallow in their pathetic “poor me” attitudes that I am (ahem) understanding, I always tell them to go ahead and take a day to feel sorry for yourself. ONE day. Then put on your big boy or girl panties and go figure your shit out.

Honestly, results were mixed — as I am sure you can tell, as this is the first time I have posted in a week! Yikes! But I am more on track this week than I was last week, and that is progress. I will take it. Continue reading

Change is Good!

It has been one month since my last day at my old job. One month of being “independent”, focusing more on me and a work / life balance. And I have to say … change is good! Even great. When I reflect on the past 30 days (from a personal vs. professional perspective), two things stand out. Continue reading
