I'm always trying to keep it so positive.

But...dammit. These past three months have been TOUGH.

A job in my field is for shit now...marketing and PR is the first, well one of the first to go in budgets. So I have a really numbing and sometimes patronizing job that pays shit (this is what 6 years of college was for?)

We have everything ready to go for the house we have been in the process of buying. EVERYTHING is lined up, but we made a mistake...first time home buyers assistance - the gov't is wiped out. So although everything is in line and ready, we cannot close until they get the $$$. So...the apt is full of boxes. After two months of this, the boxes are driving me insane. I so should have kept our shitty washer n dryer, kept the ratty furniture and used my money for the down payment.

First quarter is supposed to get worse. SHIT. I guess if anything I can put a halt to the household stuff n get my money back....

This happens to everyone, shitty shit. I know at the moment when you feel a shred of discouragement you are supposed to kick the positivity up.

But fuck that, I'm having a drink and looking for that Imago Sound of Music photo shop pic. It's good for a laugh!

i feel your pain! my commission is almost nonexistant anymore... and i can barely get by on my base

I feel a little better....

It's not easy when things get tough,
I try to be positive but that is not always easy too.
The way I deal with things is to keep putting one foot in front of the other, pretty soon you'll be so far from where you were before.

And it's good to laugh once in awhile too. Laughter is medicine.

You are right. I need to get back on the path. I have really just stopped looking for anything. Just go to work, gym, and come home and org!

KatSkrizzle said:

You can do it!

Glad I could help.







I hope you're ok, Kat
Times are really strange right now.
I've got a masters too and this is the first time ever that I don't think it helps right now.. not in this economy anyways.
Things will get better. It's all a matter of perserverence.


You're thread is really great by the way...


































FOR ME TO POOP ON!

That just made me giggle out loud! I've never seen this shit.

Kat

Have a drink and throw your hands up and believe that it's got to get better at some point. It will.

I've officially been pooped on by Imago!

Thanx! It has to!

KatSkrizzle said:

Girrrlllll..... that is not a good thing.



Seriously... I hope it all gets better soon.
You always seem to be so strong and positive, so keep doing what you are doing. It will all come together.
