New Policy
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve implemented a new policy. With everything going on in my life which is so busy and full on at the moment, I realised that I have to look after myself. Otherwise I will just get stressed and not achieve anything.
Now, I don’t care what is going on I have implemented a No Drama policy. That goes for every part of my life. For a long time I have had a belief that I won’t bring high maintenance into my life. Like anything it is always subjective. But for me it was the right decision.
I won’t deal with drama if it has any emotional strain on me. I don’t care whether it’s work or personal, I deserve a break. People generally describe me as a strong person and I think that is a load of crap. I think for the most part I have just been able to cope better than a lot. I think the reason for this is that I recognise my own limits and know when I need to rest.
Unfortunately sometimes I think I really don’t get that chance to rest. So I have to be much for careful.
For everyone, take the time to give yourself the rest that you need. Implement a no drama policy. Since I got serious about no drama I feel better. I don’t let others who want to create it affect me. I’m seriously learning a lot about myself and I love it.
Over the past year my life has been rid of those who are selfish and those who don’t really care. I have rid myself of high maintenance and am slowly giving myself those things and people I deserve. Take stock and rid your life of drama now.
Career Change
Posted by: | CommentsUp to now I have tried to maintain a certain amount of discretion as to two elements of my life. They are my personal relationships and my professional situation. For now my personal situation will remain under lock and key but I will say it’s looking very good at the moment.
As far as professionally which is also going well I will share a little. Over the past several months I have been considering what I want from my life and made the decision that I would be interested in relocating. Why? Mainly because it’s time. I am to some degree still recovering from being hurt and screwed over last year. I guess the hurt was the main thing. When someone you adore does something like that it does tend to make you take stock. Anyway, back to the topic.
So I made the decision to make a change and ever since I have been getting phone calls. Word of mouth is a glorious thing. But it is surprising. Here’s the thing. I have been in my current job for about six years. All I do is set systems and processes. Well that’s how I see it. I work within government contracts in the disability employment area. I know I have a knack for easily understanding and interpreting these contracts and implementing systems around it. I know I have a knack for remembering everything. I know I have a knack for business development. But all the things I do are nothing special, at least to me.
That’s why I find it so strange that I have so far had offers from four states and not just in my area. Strangely I have had calls from one of the countries largest accounting/auditing firms (why I’m not sure). They in particular wanted me to work on communication structures within a firm and company restructures. Apparently because they understood that I am good at being visionary and looking outside the square as well as seeing things that others don’t. I’m still trying to work out who talked to them.
I have given myself up to 12 months to make a decision on what I want to do although I think ideally I’d like to move by June. I find it strange because I’m seriously not that good. I really want to make the right choice. It’s not about money, it’s about lifestyle. I am looking for something that compliments my personal life. Don’t misunderstand, I work hard but I won’t something that I can feel passionate about and that will fit in to what I want from my personal life. That means I want a personal life. I want flexibility.
I’m considering these things and I will see but for the moment I have to say I think people are crazy because I’m really not that good. I do have a high work ethic and never give up but that’s about it. For now I have to say if nothing else that it’s a good ego boost to know that I am wanted out there lol.
Logical, maybe not!
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve always lived by the belief that life is simple and it’s only complicated by people. I still believe it but unfortunately not everyone thinks the same way I do lol.Sometimes I don’t even follow my own logic, usually though that occurs when there are emotions involved.
The thing I have realised is that to manage life logically you also have to live honestly. At the moment I would like to escape in into the world of Sheldon (The Big Bang Theory), because at least that way I could be purely logical and at the same time oblivious to everyone else around me, but unfortunately that isn’t possible.
I do find it extremely frustrating though. At present I am faced with a lot of overwhelming things in my life. Some are based on my current work situation, some my living situation and others my emotional situation. The thing is I can handle all those things that are within my control because I can just make decisions, action them and move on to the next.
However when situations are outside of my control such as waiting on others to stop procrastinating or for others to just do the right thing it becomes unbearable. Maybe it’s my ASD or maybe I just like people to act logically I’m not sure. Either way right now I could just run away and have a break. I may get to do that soon.
I know this will all die down soon enough but right now I would just like it to happen sooner than later lol. For now I just have to say as calm as possible, be patient and take the time I need when I need it to rest.
We are the World 25
Posted by: | CommentsAs I expected, when I recently watched ‘We are the World 25′ it reduced me to tears and that is an understatement. When I saw the first release all those years ago I remember crying like a baby. Seeing the new one just brought back all those same emotions. This one for Haiti has an amazing ensemble from classic musicians to those we are still not sure have reached puberty lol. If you haven’t watched it please do.
