annyshay Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've been wanting to write more than my daily updates for a while now, but I haven't been sure what I want to say. I'm just trudging along through the hours of work and then trying to take care of myself in the off hours. I'm getting the bare minimum done, and that's about it. I'm ok with that. It's just not very fulfilling at the moment. There's about two more weeks of this intense schedule and only two weeks until Antarctica. I'm not sure how I'm going to get a contract sorted out and pack for the trip of a lifetime with the time and energy that I have. I'm still waiting on my potential new place of employment to get a contract together. Once they do, I have 10 days to get it back to them, which may well overlap with time that I'm on the cruise. I suppose I can tell them those dates ahead of time. It just feels stressful. Soon everything will be done and settled though, and then I can move into the interminable piles of paperwork necessary to get licensed in a new state. Sarcastic yay. So, prayers for wisdom and energy are in order. 5 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
Mad Hatter Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 You’ll be alright. Really. I do think you should tell them in advance though, just in case the timing won’t work out. Even if it feels stressful to do that now it will feel a lot less stressful if they’re already aware of the situation. But it will be fine, these things tend to work out one way or another. Just keep being awesome, it’s just a phase. 4 Quote Link to comment
WhiteGhost Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Definitely tell them about the trip. Most places are pretty reasonable about these kinds of things, but they can only be accommodating as far as they know the situation 3 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment
lucky fire dragon Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Agreeing with the others, do let them know, just in case. Also very happy to read a few words besides those daily updates from you, just to get a bit more feel for how you're doing. As Hatter says, you'll be fine Also I think, closer to the time, the excitement of the trip will give you an extra boost, that will help a lot with everything still needed. But yes, give yourself the breathing space and let your new place know about your schedule! Big hugs and sparkling prayers are on their way 3 Quote Level 18 Wood-Elf Assassin battle log: counting the good things current challenge: something, nothing, all the things previous challenges: 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 How cool is it that the same God who created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you, too Link to comment
Mrs Van Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Also immediately wanted to say, tell them about the trip, so that they know about the time constraints. They can't help or give you more time, if they don't know about it. And then just... take it one day at a time. Handle what you can, plan ahead for only those things under your control, and we'll all pray for wisdom, strength, energy and things to fall in place - just right. 4 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord."

annyshay Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks guys. I will tell them about the trip when the holiday is over (it's Martin Luther King Jr Day on Monday, and I actually get the day off from work, huzzah!!!!). Saturday was a pretty low key day at work, so I actually had some time in the afternoon to get some life things done. I returned an amazon package that I've been meaning to send back for a long time. I put the rest of my laundry away. Then I had time to meditate and play pokemon and other such fun, recharging activities. I can't imagine that today will be as calm, but I can hope! 6 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
