Some changes must be made. Although I am grateful for the income it has provided me, I've come to the conclusion that my current work situation is not to my benefit. I'm no longer making progress; I'm backsliding. I'm even more grateful that my temp position gives me the flexibility to change all this. But the fact that I just don't like my job that much is pushing me onward.
But like most people, I'm scared.
See, I was fired.
I made a stupid mistake, at a job I really loved, and I'm scared of what any potential employer will do with that when they have a sea of eager, over-qualified applicants in a recession that has either put hair on the chest of men, or sent them crying to their mommas.
But I have dreams. And I'm not getting closer to them. In fact, I'm losing ground.
Something has got to change.
I guess maybe it's me.
