I know that God takes care of me. I really wanted this promotion I got in September. I deserved the chance but I think it may not be my calling. And that is ok. I didn't necessarily expect it to be permanent but I hoped it would open doors.
The next promotion just came at an awkward time.
I had started to doubt my ability to do my present job to the supervisor's satisfaction. I was afraid of being demoted.
The promotion effective March 1 will be, technically, a promotion as it is a higher salary grade. I was interviewed for the lowest level classification in the job series and offered the second level. But, unbeknownst to me, I am currently being paid at the second grade of the salary range for that position so they are having to get permission to increase my salary by one step so that my money stays equal. So, I won't be getting a raise and the location and parking are not as excellent. It makes no sense in some ways to take it. But, within a year or so, I could end up with a $200/month promotion which isn't gonna happen where I am now. I might could hope for a single salary level promotion which would be about $80/month. Also, I have done this job before and, while it is not perfect for me, I think it will be a better fit than where I am now.
Does that make sense....
BTW, I'll give you Too Much Information.....my digestive system has calmed down since I told the new supervisor that I would take the job. Now, I just have to tell my current supervisor.
(We just lost one claims adjudicator - that created a lot more work for one woman. They are in the process of hiring one or two supervisors in my unit which will leave a position vacant for up to 6 months. That gives the manager 2 or 3 positions to fill. Then my position may have to stay vacant for 6 months too. This is NOT good timing.)

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Are there NO SECRETS in this family???????????????????????? Yes, as a matter of fact, there are...and given what's gone before, how scary is it to contemplate something so private that the Neaks won't discuss it online? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

SS,
During my childhood and youth I attended chruch every sunday. I remember when it was in Latin!
After I married and had the kids I stopped going because it was "complicated" but I always prayed, and never missed a chance to go into a chrch and say a prayer.
What I never did was much studying.
Since dday, when I realized I was not part of a couple, I have been back to church and after one year I have recently come to the same conclusions you have beautifully expressed above.
I have to trust the Lord. This is the only thing that I have always done.
I have to do his will and that will bring me happiness. It IS posible to be happy under any circumstances. It allows you to be more effective about solving those circumstances.
I must not compare myself to others. Jesus said it.
During these 14 months of my new life I have learned alot, it has been a year of discoveries and realizations. I am thankful that I have not made many important mistakes but I also realize that it is mainly because I have turned inwards , into myself and have not reacted towards others. That is probably just my personality, but I realized that it saved me from worse consequences.
I have always considered myself "lucky" or rather that I have a guardian angel. I am always very conscious of what could have happened or could have been and thankful that it wasn't.
From the beginning I thought WH was wrong in having an affair (which of course wasn't an affair in his mind, just cohabiting with his secretary). But I wasn't sure what that meant to me.
At first I was confused and not very informed so I didn't make any decisions. But with time I've realizaed that
I AM COMMITTED TO THE MARRIAGE That's just me.
So I've concluded that I'll probably be in plan B the rest of my life unless he divorces me, or the financial situation forces me to in the sense that I would have to sell the house etc.
The psychiatrist I saw asked me why I hadn't divorced him. I said I was a committed person. I keep my promises.
So in the end, I still have a lot to work on, but with respect to WH I will coninue to expose, and I will pray for him and OW, and now MIL and BIL. I will not be a part of that situation.
I hope to give my dds the right example. It is hard on them because they want to protect me. They have asked me to divorce him. It's sad.

cc- Glad to hear from you. I've been watching television and was very worried about you and your family. I hope things are okay where you are.
Cinderella - I just got a promotion too, and have come to the conclusion that I don't really like my new job. I'm blessed to have it, but it is not what I expected. But so far, I'm hanging in there. Good luck with yours, and don't worry how they will replace you. They'll manage.
Now to the really important stuff. I sure hope that Neak's big night went well.

Last night I saw a story about riots, and it looked very scary. Of course, it was in Spanish, so maybe I didn't get the whole picture. I thought the whole country was involved.

Happy Birthday !
May God preserve your health, and take care of you until you have finished your work.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
