Well I keep getting billed for this site. Might as well use it.
I think the last we all spoke was when I was between two job offers. I had taken a Faceypages poll amongst the non-tRump voters (because I only wanted folks whose judgment I trust) whether to stay or go.
Overwhelmingly, everyone said RUN LIKE YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE.
One random voice I hadn’t even expected to pipe up said stay. I owe her a thank-you. BIG TIME.
I had presented all this to my boss at the time, for all of the five minutes that I reported to her before SHE left.
And she’s like, ya know. Maybe that lone voice has a point.
I woke up the day I was supposed to confirm I was leaving. I said OK, I’ll stay. I cried the WHOLE DAMN DAY.
But … the crying stopped. It really did turn out OK.
And even if it hadn’t, I’m still better off.
My second suitor just had a layoff.
Read: I would be OUT ON THE STREETS AGAIN had I gone there.
I would love to know whether he feels terrible that I would have given up what turned out to be a pretty great gig, only to be fookayayed up one side and down the other without a trace of lube in sight, had I accepted (and taken him up on) his offer.
This has messed me up seven ways to Sunday.
I mean, I am SO LUCKY and I know it. SO lucky.
But honestly, if not for my friend/neighbor-type Kim planting that wee seed of doubt, I would have frolicked right the fuck into a horrible situation.
And really, if not for my then-boss pounding my worth into their heads where I’m at, I wouldn’t have had the choice in the first place.
Thank God. Just, thank God and the angels and my spirit guides and my ancestors and whoever guided my hand when I sent the email where I said yes to the dress and no to the rest.
Girl power, man.
And Hillary voters.
We know what to do. 🙂
