They're backing out

I have to wait until September? September? Pres went on vacation without finalizing a contract with me? That’s just disrespectful. He’s gone all of August, I’m gone three weeks in August… and then what? I come back to find that I will be doing the same thing I’ve been doing here all along? Running reports and entering orders? I thought I was going to work under the Marketing department, but now it sounds like if I do, I’ll be an “order desk”—nothing to do with marketing at all, just orders orders orders. And they tell me the money is not an issue, the issue is what exactly I’ll be doing. Okay, well if you know there IS full-time work with me, couldn’t you finalize a contract so I have ONE thing stable in my life? And so that I know if I’m getting vacation pay while I’m gone, if I have a job to come back to…

I pulled a card today while asking when is someone going to talk to me—told them I had an opportunity to work at a school, and work in the tutoring centre in the evening, and I’d like to do the tutoring in the evening but the possibility of daytime work at the school had also come up. Not really true, but enough to give the suits here a nudge, I thought. And you know what he said to me? Follow your heart. If working in the educational field is really what you want to do...etc. No, they definitely don't feel the need to snap me up before I go off to another job.

I’m tempted to follow Phoe and get the hell out of this place. Way out. This is not my home.

As a runner, I would say that "getting out" is a good idea. But, only if where you are going is going to improve your situation. It's one thing to pack up and move on to better your life, it's another to do it because you're running away.

Now, I am not much one to talk, because I run when I feel "crazy", and I blame it on my surroundings and not how I deal with things.

Basically, if you're going to run, make sure you are running for the right reasons.

I don't even know what the right reasons are anymore.

I don't have any words of wisdome but if my arms would stretch to the far North, I'd give you a hug :)
