Hi Davit: Hope you won't have to go to the hospital. Praying that the infection will take a hike real soon! You mentioned you found your tea still sitting there - I had to smile, I've done that too. This dog I have now is too polite to take a sip, but Charlie would have helped himself, unless he didn't like the taste. He was so funny.
Hi Teebs: I can see how after mustering the courage to go to work and calling and they say they don't need you afterall - a huge weight is off your shoulders and you can have a good cry 'cause you might be feeling relieved. (?) A good cry is a great stress reliever. I remember a job like that, always glad to hear when I didn't have to go in. I knew the job caused stress for me but didn't want to quit either. Good for you getting some work done towards your photography future.
After a short cry (gotta let it out!), I've taken Shari's advice and used this dragon to light a fire under me instead. This is just another sign that this job isn't right for me - I keep trying to prove to myself I can do it but I know I need to move on, and the lack of compassion from some of my co-workers is something I'm tired of dealing with. Instead I'm taking this afternoon to reorganize my digital photo library - a huge task I've been putting off but a necessary one if I'm serious about doing more as a photographer! That way I'll still feel productive about the afternoon.
I am glad you made the call, that is definitely good exposure and I can understand that after all that you feel deflated. You can definitely enjoy the afternoon off knowing that you made the effort and look forward to the next time you go into work.
Ugh, so I just called in (they had told me the could use me any time for a half shift in the afternoon) and the girl there told me they would rather manage without me today because it's a slow day. I know other people probably want the hours but after getting up my courage to call this just really deflated me and now I'm in tears! I guess just another dragon to deal with.
I also love the dragon analogy. I will join you all in becoming a dragon slayer! The comments you have all made here about banishing dragons today has been an inspiration to me. I was planning to go in for a 4 hour work shift this afternoon but hadn't called yet because the dragon was starting to rear it's ugly head. Now my positive self-talk voice is stronger and I'm going to make that call and go in for that shift!
It was great to read this thread, you are all supporting each other and it is really encouraging to see! I love the dragon analogy that is being used here. In one sense, all the sessions of the program are tools or "weapons" to help slay those dragons. The better equipped you are and the more ammo you have on you (the more sessions and homework you work through), the better you can slay those dragons.
What sessions have been most helpful to you? What resources do you continue to use each day?
I'm going along peacefully writing my book, but there is some pain and it is getting pretty hard to walk from the infection. One of Shari's dragons has come to visit. I've started to think about going back to the hospital in a negative way. What's the Big deal, I've been there before. I can do this again if I have too. Another roar from the dragon which I side step. I know better than to pay attention but I can't concentrate so I might just as well put the work aside till tomorrow. 4:30 in the morning and I start to "what if". I get a cup of mint tea and take the calcium I forgot to take earlier, and go back to bed. Nothing here to get excited about, just a stray dragon and not even a big one. I guess I just went back to sleep, cause there is a cold cup of tea here and the cat never even drank it. Even more pain this morning and harder to walk, but no dragons.
What will be will be. The computer is a lap top, I'll take it with me.
Here for you,
Sword in hand.
Bring on your dragons.
Davit.
Ps My antibiotic is one of those meds that hatch dragons.
