It's the first day of the summer, need a "feel good hit of the summer?!"
So I'm pissed that my three years working in social services apparently doesn't mean shit and several people who have only been with the office a few months now get a raise and now make more than me due to some change in the rules which excludes me due to a small clause because of when I got hired. In January 2012, when I finally get to the same pay level they are making now, They will be making almost $5K more per annum than yours truly... and they wonder why it's so hard to keep people in this job?!
Well, what can I do?! I knew it was going to be a slow and painful year when I took this road back in December.
Just another test.
Will I ever see a pay off for all my hard work?! I'm trying to do the right thing and swim with the current but it constantly seems to change and work against me. I feel like I'm in a back eddie some times, swirling around and around and around. Will someone damn the river further up so I can get back on course?!
I don't think I'm asking too much am I ?
I just gotta remind myself to focus on the journey before I can enjoy the graduation
Besides, I have it way better than the people I help and I'm thankful for that.
I know some friends right now who are hurting and it's coming up on the anniversary of my uncle's death, on the same weekend we put him to rest last year, we'll be celebrating my cousin's wedding this year. Trading pain for joy. I think it's a good deal, right?!
Don't hide your pain. Feel it. Express it. Get it out. There will be scars but they won't be as deep over time.
Plus, I have an Indian reception to go to this weekend that I'm looking forward too! My friend's mom is putting it on, going to be mad food and if there is one thing that' can put the world right, it's curries and other south asian delicacies!
Peace. Have a good week. Have a great weekend and remember, the going gets tough from the get go!
