Starting Over

I was talking to a recruiter the other day and the first thing she asked me was; are you willing to start over? I don't know, I said it so quickly, maybe to quickly making me realize I don't know if I am willing to start over. New job, yes I want that, but to begin again, not sure if that is what I am looking for. To be paid less, to be the low man on the totem pole and to worry about layoffs. There is always the possibility of layoffs at my current job but I have been there so long, it is usually last in first out.

Starting over? Doesn't sound great unless I am moving to a Caribbean island to actually live and start that part of my life over again, but my career? I am not sure.

All these questions started rolling through my head and to be honest I don't even know where to begin...what am I going to do? Stay unhappy? Move on? Make less money but be happy?



Anxiety

I constantly have stress and anxiety in the workplace.
Sometimes I get chest pains, I don't want to eat and my anxiety is so high I have to take a few minutes to walk around and just breath.

Here are some tips I follow to help with reducing my stress and anxiety.

Pregnant Co-Worker

I have had a child. I know what it's like to be pregnant. I know what it's like to give birth and I know what it's like to be a mom.
Now a co-worker is pregnant with her first child and she is driving me FUCKING CRAZY.

HEADS UP, THIS POST IS MEAN, I KNOW!

First of all, stop referring to your fetus as the baby in every damn situation. Oh the baby is hungry, the baby wants to go for a walk, the baby went to dinner with daddy and I this weekend. Seriously? That shit creeps me out.

Secondly, we all ate weird shit when we were pregnant and we were all hungry all the time. I get it! I craved certain things, but I didn't eat shit everyday, and really you shouldn't either. You are eating VERY BADLY and it will start to show. Oh wait, it already has...onto Thirdly!

Thirdly your clothes are oh so tight! You are trying to fit a turkey in a Pringles can and it's not working! You need to buy new clothes! All that bad food you are eating is starting to show and it doesn't look good. I don't need to see your underwear lines or your back fat. Cover that shit up!

And lastly, please stop talking about how tired you are. I am tired too, I have a child (a crazy boy at that) and I seriously didn't even know what tired was until that kid popped out of my vagina. So shut the fuck up!

I realize that this post might offend people, it's really not meant to. I have been there, I was pregnant and hope to be pregnant again. I just can't stand these people I work with anymore and this one is really driving me nuts lately. She is definitely going to be that girl that registers for shit you don't need....like a wipes warmer. WTF!

The Truth


There are some truths about Corporate America that I wish I knew before starting my job...

1. Butt Kissing - When I was younger I always thought that my talent would carry me to a great career, and that if I just produced, I would be promoted. However, talent only gets you so far, and you really have to kiss some major ass to get ahead in corporate America. In fact, I would argue that you don't even have to be talented to get ahead, if you're a really good ass kisser. I was passed over for a promotion one time for a guy who was not half as smart, or dedicated, or had numbers to support his promotion. However, he was a good butt kisser. I was shocked but no one else was, in fact one of my best friends at the company said, "I saw that coming. He had his head so far up the VP's ass, he could have performed a colonoscopy. "

You're A Bitch

Do you ever look at someone and just think, how do you get through life?
I have several people I know like this and there is that one at work that I would like shake and say, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU ARE A BITCH. 
This person has a horrible personality, one that is fake and changes at the first site of management. This person talks highly to your face but is then nasty behind your back  (bitch we sit in cubes, I can hear you). This person thinks he/she is better than you, when in reality they are such a bad person you think they crawled up from hell and rode satan in to work that day. These people are bitches. Little fucking bitches that I can't stand. I don't know how you get through life and I don't know how the hell you have kept your fucking job all these years. 
Rant over.

MomLife
#momlife is real. It is the craziest life I could have ever imagined. I love my baby boy but damn he wears me out. I go to bed tired and wake up tired. I haven't gotten a good nights sleep since he was born. My husband says it is my own fault. That he is fine, sleeps in his crib and only cries if he actually needs something. He is a good baby, but #momlife actually means that I wake up regardless if he is okay, I hear him sneeze, I wake up, I hear a cough, I wake up. I sometimes even get up to make sure he is breathing. Anyone else?
Crazy how just a few years ago I was staying out till 2am at the bars, hanging out at brunch drinking mimosas for hours and now I can't even stay up past ten! All about that #momlife. Hope I am not the only one! (and yes, I am drinking wine right now while writing this!).
