August- Come One, Come All

They did a phone interview today since I would have to drive such a distance. It went well and the $ is excellent, but the job is still 3 hrs away. (I posted details on it on "Spouses who drink.") I am waiting for a call back. Pins and needles, and couldn't leave my baby for a week!

So where is everyone, huh, huh??

Spirit, I'm still sitting on the fence for AF September. I am so chuffed with what I've accomplished this month but I still have a "niggle" to modd.

Cs, sho that is a tough one with the job. My last job I travelled extensively and was away from home a lot (not quite the same I know) but eventually it was my daughter who asked me to please be at home more. I literally quit the next day and became an executive housekeeper until I opened my own company. I leart that it didn't matter that I was earning big bucks if I am missing out on my daughters childhood..... sorry don't want to be a downer - that's just my experience.

T, where do you find such cool penguins? They always put a smile on my dial, thanks!

Nurse, WIP, Sun, More and IndianMike, how are you???

Hi DeeBee and others,
I'm in/out and feeling strong. Just got home from a 2 hour bike ride, then ate some green beans from my garden.

Hey Spirit I'm still here, chewing on problems involving my new Mac computer and trying to get documents done that are Word compatible. Sometimes I hate computers. Mac was supposed to make it all easy, but I have wasted hours today wrestling with this stuff Now heading off to teach first class of the semester. I love teaching.

I'm sorry, Spirit Girl, I haven't found any more skunks in my garage, or created any other excitement.

I think it is aways more fun to begin things than to finish them.. Many of us have unfinished crafts or other projects lying around....

But I am up for finishing August strong, and continuing into September. Today I put my seventh consecutive 0 on Drink Tracker, and counted all the other 0's this month. Success creates more success. Failure is very discouraging, so you have to look inside for some success, which for me is plenty of 0's in spite of an August which was not AF.

Hi everyone,
I didn't get the job. It would have been an almost impossible move/change with baby, hubby and house. But I had started to get excited, and now I just feel down and mentally exhausted. I am tired of chasing after opportunities that never materialize -- been looking for a FT job for 5 yrs (except for when baby was tiny). Guess I'm going to have to wait tables or something to get out of this hole. Sad state of affairs when a well-educated professional is below the poverty line. Hubby's job is OK but not enough, and he is draggin his feet on making "cutbacks" like cable TV, etc. I am so fucking frustrated.

Oh, damn, CS! That hurts. I am sorry. I hope tomorrow you'll have renewed energy to figure out your direction, to get through this really awful time...

Sorry

Sorry, CSO4, about not getting the job. I can understand why you are frustrated. I have this belief, that if one waits long enough, things always turn out the way they are supposed to. I know how difficult it is to feel that way though, when you just feel like crap. But--that job was not meant to be.

I have been having more unsuccessful days in August than successful, but still more AF days than I have in years, so I am going to try to build on that. This site is helping me, and really wanting more "0's" in the drink tracker. I don't want to fail, but I am tired of the battle. I just want to feel like I could care less if I have a drink or not--I can't wait for that feeling!!!!

Maybe I need to try the Drink Tracker - at this point I would be embarrassed, but maybe Sept. I can start fresh with WIP's "renewed energy." I go back to work next week, so I have a lot to do tomorrow and the weekend. If anyone is up for chat, I'm there.
