Bright side.
November 22nd, 2007There has to be at least one bright side to the whole thing, and since it’s Thanksgiving, we’ll go ahead and list them out.
1) I still have a job, even if it’s not the one I wanted.
2) I’m still getting my raise (it’s like a consolation prize - do you want money or happiness? Happiness. Ok, you get money. Thanks for playing.)
3) I don’t have to wake up earlier to (3a) take a longer bus ride including a transfer. (3b) Which would have cost more.
4) I’m only just starting to find conversation starters that work with my pseudo-community on the bus. I’m starting to know people’s names and starting to chat with the faces that I see every morning.
5) I really do work with a great group of people and I’m not sorry to remain working with them.
Things I am actually *thankful* for:
1) Finally being able to have a real relationship with my father’s widow.
2) Feeling like Spawn and I are establishing a good relationship that we will be able to continue to build on, and on more of a peer-basis.
3) Supportive friends and family who are ALWAYS there for me and who accept me as I am.
4) I work for a company that treats me very well and has earned my loyalty.
I think that’s good enough for now. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!
