Feeling kinda crappy...

[missymaya]

I know there are those who have much larger prolems on their plates of life right now, but currently I feel pretty down and I make an effort to see the good things in life.

Today while commuting to work, the sky looked slightly cloudy and it was a little chilly. But as I neared my work, the clouds got darker and then it started to pour along with the temp dropping.

I get to work and still looked up on the day because it was just a rainy start. Now, my job isn't something to call home about, I'm just an office assistant who deals with catering at a university, but it pays the bills and for a grad student, it's ten times better than working at a fast food chain. The semester is ending and in turn I can pick more hours, so I go and ask my boss thinking 'hey I'm here longer to do all the dirty work for ya'll'. The response: "well, we loved having you here, but we're letting people go and your last day is at the end of April." Apparently, the new director is trying to "clean" up the place and I'm one of those that needs to be cut for accounting purposes And the thing that gets me is, if I didn't ask for extending my hours, when would they have told me that I was being let go.

So, now my day looks crappy. And to cap things off, I had to ride home and guess what, it started to rain on my way home I knew it would rain, but it wasn't supposed to rain for another 4-5 hours.

I know this sounds like a pitty party but I just feel a little crappy today. I'm looking for jobs right now and fortunately there are some positions open. I just need a little boost.

Damn. I think you are allowed to have your pity party - what a sucky day! Wallow away for the rest of today, maybe a little bit of tomorrow. Then put it away and look to the future. A better job is out there, just waiting for you.

Sounds like you need to look at the bicycle crashes drift. Will put a smile on your dial.

Sorry to hear about your crappy day. They happen, and it's OK to be bummed out. I'm assuming you know you're going to be OK, and that you might even land into something way better. So, given that you know things will turn out OK, go for it and just be bummed out for an evening! No need to pretend! You have people here who are willing to listen!

Hang in there.

Sorry you had a bad day. I wish I knew what to say...but I think Starfish said it well.

I'm sorry you're having such a crappy day. I hope things look better tomorrow. Tell yourself you were too good for them anyways and as Scarlett O'Hara said "Tomorrow is another day" (note to self: try to remember that yourself MARY!! )

Thanks ya'll for the helpful comments. So,I bummed out yesterday and today Im back up doing what I need to do and feeling much more positive. I have some time left before my job officially ends,so Im spending it looking around, trying to find something that peaks my interest and can go towards my eventual goal as a city planner. Fortunately, Im in the right city for that.
As for the riding, it looks like it will be a trainer day (which has been a long time comin) b/c there's some nasty rain. But, hey, as long as I get to ride, I know Im doin ok.
Again, thanks and hope everyone is doin ok!
