Stuck in Envy

I know I shouldn't envy others...

People have a lot going on under the surface and while it may look like others have it MUCH better, they probably don't in all aspects.

But... I envy...

- people who can go into work late without repercussion
- people who can leave work early on a whim
- people who get Federal holidays off
- people who are not an admin biotch and have a REAL career
- people who win 100k in the lottery like my co-worker did yesterday
- people who were smart enough not to get into credit card debt
- people who don't work 3 jobs just to scrape by
- people who have more than 2 weeks vacation for an entire 52 weeks
- people who truly have a passion for their work
- people who work from home full time or can sometimes

I could go on and on. I am hoping and praying for an open position with a local animal help group. Again. I talked with R and even if it's less money (which it will be) he said we would work something out to make it work because it would be an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I called them at lunch today and got voicemail so I am hoping and praying that they call me back.

I am feeling stuck. Per usual. Stuck in this hellascious job. Stuck in this EXPENSIVE area cuz of the condo and R's barn. Stuck working 9-5:30 without the possibility of parole.

Stuck Stuck Stuck. Envious Envious Envious.

I need some of Mary's positivity to rub off on me.

At least tonight is wine night with SB. I need it. I truly do.

I believe we all go through what your going through now, and I know hearing that doesn't make it any easier for you. But remember what
doesn't kill you does make you stronger, and in the long run you will
look back at these times and appreciate even more what you have

I know the feeling. Just be glad you don't have a couple of kids to throw into that mix.

It will be ok-I promise

Just keep focusing all your energy on what you want (and not what you don't want) and things will start turning around. They have to. I hope the animal help group calls you back. They'd be lucky to have you!

I completely understand.

Sometimes we feel like we are in a trap but keep trying to escape. If the dream job pops up, it will be a lot easier to kick the smoking. I smoked for twenty years and quit cold turkey because I got tired of coughing all the time and burning holes in my clothes. Not to mention the money you save.

Well don't envy me because I didn't win $100,000...as for the rest....
comment by strider333 on Oct 22, 2008 8:17 PM ()
maybe we shouldn't, but it's definitely a natural feeling
comment by firststarisee on Oct 22, 2008 6:58 PM ()
I do not fit into all these categories... but I do resemble some of them. Sorry. Good things are a foot. I feel it.

SMOKING

Both drinking and smoking take money

3 Nov is coming soon

shoot girl, I work at walmart! but I have been where you are, and I know the extreme unfunness of it all. I hope (and pray) you get the job you want and need. I too was once a sort of admin biotch but I was called an accounting clerk. I could not go back to that type of job no matter the pay. just think, I will be working holidays you will probably have off. what is it mrs stu says, chin up tits out!

Have some granola with the wine, that will make you feel better Yeah

Sadie has a good idea. What outlet(s) do you have?
comment by stiva on Oct 22, 2008 1:16 PM ()
I feel ya, girl. I'm using running as an outlet for my life. And I have to say, it's working. I'm less miserable at work. If you had animals to help, I know you'd be a lot happier too even if it meant being broke all the time.
