A year ago...

This morning I woke up and realized that one year ago today, I was fired from a job I had been in for almost 4 years. It was a job that I loved; a job that I thought I was going to make a career out of and most importantly, it was a job that I believed I was good at. But nothing could’ve ever prepared me for sitting in my branch manager’s office that morning ( I hadn’t even made it to my desk before I was ushered into his office), being slid an envelope from across his desk and being told that “ your position with this company has been terminated. Effective immediately.” I was walked out of the office and I spent prolly 15 mins in my car bawling my eyes out, before calling my parents and spending the day at their place.

A year later, I look back and yes, I did love my job, but the stress was making me unbelievably unhappy. I wasn’t sleeping, I was anxious and tightly wound up all the time ( mostly because I couldn’t relax around our district manager) and extremely paranoid to make ANY kind of mistake. Looking back, the stress wasn’t worth it. Even after I moved on to a different office doing the same job I thought things would get better. Unfortunately, it made things worse. I was even MORE stressed at the new office because they operated differently and had COMPLETELY different client base than I was used to. I only lasted there 3 months before they let me go ( I was on much better terms with the managers there so I was able to get job references out of it), but this time around I saw the termination coming.

So after being fired twice in one year, I went back to what I knew, which is retail. I wasn’t thrilled with the decision, but in order to keep a roof over my head and food in my fridge, a girl’s gotta do what she has to do ( and in a sucky economy). Sure, I miss having more financial freedom that I had with my registries job, but I’m much happier now AND more relaxed. So money isn’t everything! And yeah, there are some times that things are a bit lean and I need to cut back and save more instead of spending, but it’s an ebb and flow. I’ve also learned to be more grateful for the simple things and to live more in the moment. I have to STOP focusing on what i don’t have (lots of money, a spouse, kids, a big house, etc.) and instead, look at what i DO have and be okay with it! I have a safe place to live, I have clothes and food, a job & a car. I have people around me in my life who like and love me. And that’s what’s important in life.

FF14 Job Guide Updated!

FINAL FANTASY XIV Job Guide

In FINAL FANTASY XIV, sufficient mastery of a class will open up the path to one or more related jobs and their respective actions. To learn

Patch notes/changes for the next expansion have dropped!

I've been following the media tour pretty closely, so nothing is really surprising me here. I'm definitely going through the expansion as Picto, maybe I'll go back to AST later. Looking through the healer changes, I'm taking the salty feedback of "just play another class". So I will for now.

It is funny seeing a lot of people who were formerly making fun of the Healer Strike going "Oh I kinda see what they're talking about" now. People who like Sage lost the ability to have 2 dots that was shown during the media tour. White Mage has no new animation upgrades or changes. Scholar mains still divided on the cosmetic of Seraphism. Not even gonna go into Astrologian and how the devs have no idea what to do with that class. The entire role is pretty stale, but I've accepted that's how the devs are managing it.

Still hype for Dawntrail, I will probably just be a gremiln in my cave playing for the next week or so.

I don’t like that I’ll sometimes go six months thinking an idea is good and beneficial for me on multiple fronts before acting it out

[youreastargirl]

Just found out that for the past eight years my husband has been secretly deeply unhappy, has gone through stages of being mad at me for years, said he had a two year deep depression triggered by me, and only made it through that by talking to another woman who made him feel like he mattered.

He could never tell me one word about his unhappiness because he said I am so emotionally unstable I would have had a meltdown.

The worst part is this whole time I still treated him as my best friend partner and confidant. I would tell him everything trusted him with all my thoughts and feelings. Like he felt this way about me and I’m just like hey guess what happened in class today. Somehow this casual daily betrayal feels worse than the other woman. I feel like a fucking fool.
