Have a wonderful weekend!<BR/><BR/>This might sound idealistic of me, but at the end of your life, I don't think you're going to care if you billed more hours for your firm. Instead, you'll feel good about leaving behind a wonderful legacy of hope that you extended to people who you helped to create a better life.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1146858019696256572006-05-05T15:40:00.000-04:002006-05-05T15:40:00.000-04:00I learned long ago that if you say "no" to those s...I learned long ago that if you say "no" to those soulless cunts they just go down the line and fine another of your ilk to pressure into doing shit. ultimately you are nothing but a hamster on a wheel to them. it helps a lot if you don't care whether they think you're a good hamster or a bad one.jdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138644775090861195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1146855781369672232006-05-05T15:03:00.000-04:002006-05-05T15:03:00.000-04:00WOW you sound like me two years ago.

Find a yoga class, grab a chai, shower, and watch office space. :) You'll feel better.<BR/><BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1146853634287270922006-05-05T14:27:00.000-04:002006-05-05T14:27:00.000-04:00Thanks Gypsy and Wordnerd!

The She-Beast always inspires me to such action whenever I have the pleasure of her company.<BR/><BR/>Wordnerd, no worries. I didn't think it was preachy at all. It was spot on and an excellent point. I really appreciated your comments. <BR/><BR/>Many thanks to both of you!Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799238720510105530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1146851962854542702006-05-05T13:59:00.000-04:002006-05-05T13:59:00.000-04:00Oh Buttercup, I really didn't want to be right on ...Oh Buttercup, I really didn't want to be right on this one...god I also didn't meant to be preachy or anything. If I came off at all like that, please accept my appology. I am far from having it 100% together on this one, I've just learnt (the hard way) the importance of remembering that everything we do is by choice. Sometimes the choices suck donkey balls and are difficult, but they are still there....right? <BR/><BR/>You just strike as so bright and so "with it" , I really do wish you good things and to find a place where the kind of work you are doing is not "tolerated" but VALUED and REWARDED. Because in the end, we all work for ourselves primarily but it's human nature to want to please others and feel successful.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, I will raise my glass to you tonight for having the balls to stand up for yourself. It sounds like the road ahead might be a bit bumpy....but it sounds like a light went off for you...the light that reminded you that YOU are the driver, not the passenger (ok, end cheesy quote!).<BR/><BR/>Have a godo weekend, hope you get lots of wine, snogging and sunshine!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00041062532779226895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22920054.post-1146851000970550932006-05-05T13:43:00.000-04:002006-05-05T13:43:00.000-04:00That couldn't have been more rousing or inspiring ...That couldn't have been more rousing or inspiring if you'd been Sally Fields as Norma Rae with a "union" sign! <BR/><BR/>Now, while you'd doing all this work, can you squeeze in some job searching and resume sending time?Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327359141716141220noreply@blogger.com
