You might not believe this but the marriage thing is about the only thing that makes any sense right now. It just feels like every decision I'm making is a big one and fraught with pitfalls. Whenever I glance into the future it just scares the hell out of me.
I have to quit my job but consequences are terrifying. I'm already overpaid for what I do and at the moment my confidence is so low I feel almost unemployable. At 44 that's not likely to get better unless something really radical happens. I have a laptop and iPhone supplied by work and they pay my transport costs so I have a lot to lose. I even get a bonus at Christmas but the way things are going there's not much chance of that.
I honestly do feel that I could just walk away from the job but what about the bills? As it stands I have £11 till payday on Tuesday so if I can't manage on what I've got how can I do it when I'm paid even less?
This is what I mean about standing around and watching - I have to take action but I just don't know how. Every option seems to involve more difficulties and more humiliation.
Ode Pal.
Do you really have to quit your job or is it the moment to say 'f**k 'em' they're not going to get to me?
I'm like that at work at the moment. I go in, I do what I have to do and then I leave.
It's so easy to let all the strands get entangled. Try to deal with one at a time.
Sorry if I'm bordering on platitudes but you get my drift?
I live life by three words 'It will pass.' At the moment I'm struggling to believe that myself but I know it to be true and that's what keeps me going.
Take care Ode Pal.
Kiss, kiss.
OR.
