Whew... what a day. What a past couple of days. Right now I'm blogging at the library. I went to work this morning after having a bad day there yesterday, only to be once more confronted by my jerk of a boss, in our morning meeting, in front of everyone. I sucked it up as best I could for the remainder of the meeting and then when it was over, got my purse and my cell phone and left. I literally was not going to take it for one more minute. I'm sick and tired of the double standard for people at that place. Those who are imcompetent or ass-kissers are left to their own devices while those of us who honestly try to do a good job are ridiculed in front of others and held to an impossibly high standard. It's been quite some time since I have allowed my job to stress me out to the point of physical impairment, but it happened yesterday and now once again today I feel as though my stomach has been kicked in.
I just do not want to go back there. After 30+ years of working I simply don't want to take that kind of abuse any more. And yet, I have nothing. No monetary reserves, no family back-up to carry me through the luxury of quiting and trying to find something better. I guess my only alternative is to try and calm myself down, try and convince myself that I've survived far worse than this and get back there. I need to keep thinking of my son's smiling face and know that nothing can overcome how much I love him and how much life we have to live.
Don't let the bastards grind you down. Don't let the bastards grind you down. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
