I SERIOUSLY need any and all words of encouragement and wisdom.
I am backed into a corner, at this moment (with employment, of course). I feel like I am being screwed for political purposes,...and, am coping and investigating alternatives and doing the best I can,...but, none of my actions are ever enough. That's how I feel,...never enough,...and that's a lie but I am being kicked in the ass,...again, for something not involving me.

I just really need some encouragement and words of wisdom, reminders of human worth, anything,...to help me regain focus and strength through these difficult times. I need help to keep strong.

:cry:

1. You have my strongest, best thoughts this evening.
I'm sorry for your hard time. I wish I could help. I have no words of wisdom, beyond this: speak your mind, be honest, and remember: you are not responsible for others' reactions to what you say and do.

:hug: Best wishes.

Hope things get better soon. You don't need those bastards who are messing up your career, and you'll probably find something better. :hug:

8. Should you? Well, my brain says no, but......
my hatred of the CIA says yeah.
Then my brain says, "Hey, she wasn't evil!"
And H.O.T.C. replies, "Quiet, you! Or I'll poke you with a Q-tip again! Hasta la Revolucion Siempre!"

See, this causes me that "moment" of peace. It's a "crazier than the insane reality" moment.

Thank you. (((bowing)))

5. Been there, I know what you are going through
I solved it by quitting. It was a bad mistake. I should have stuck with it. Do your best, try to brush it off, if you have family or beloved pets, put them on your desk and realize they need you to be strong. We are ALL loved by someone who needs us, and this community will always love and support you.:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :yourock:

9. I am investigating every means possible ASIDE from quitting.
If I quit, I don't even get a few months of unemployment. I can't do that.

Problem I face, this "forced in a corner" proposition forces me to either leave my community or commute 4-5 hours each working day.

I love where I am, right now. My son loves where he is, right now (in spite of pubescent ups and downs).

I love the light and support you're offering ((((wrapping around that))).

Life is a persistence test. My persistence is being tested,....and, at the moment, I have no desire to persist. Just be,....as aweful as it feels,...just be.

Your hugs makes me move forward.

Thank you, so kindly. :pals:

7. Something HR can help
you with? You may have gone that route already without any results. Hope your situation improves. Just do your best, and be honest as stated above; always take the high road, is my motto. Sending you

13. HR has been doing "interesting" things,...
,...cautiously, 'cause HR has a position at risk, too.

My relationships in this job are wonderful, though "distant". We work so damn hard together to be the best we can be, doing the best we can.

I still work MAO, maintain positive working relationships while simultaneously exploring options and alternatives. I am still in shock at the situation, punitive in nature, when I successfully advanced the objectives of,....well, admirable goals.
