Made career decision

Post by m »

Well, I made the decision to stay. It doesn't "feel" right but it's the practical thing to do. It's been hard but I am trying to remain objective about it. Oh, and I have a really good lead on another job. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It means alot to me.

Hi Melissa,

That sounds like the best of both worlds...employed, and having a lead on something else. No one says you have to stay and if this lead doesn't work out, there will be others.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi Melissa!

Sounds like a very wise decision to me. Good luck with the lead. BTW, has Norman hung around through all of this stress?

Love,

Polly

Thanks all. Polly--Norman has more or less stuck around. My stomach has been bothering me but that always happens. Unfortately, I also seem to have some sort of sinus infection going on so I'm feeling bad from that so it's hard to tell if the exhaustion and mental fog is from that or the stress of this situation. Anyway, I'm plodding along.

Sounds like a wise decision! Good luck on the new job prospect. What I found works best when working for a hateful supervisor......show them kindness and love. Its hard but it has worked every time for me. I now have a very good friend who was one of my terrible supervisors.

Hugs
