the reason for the shock

Remember a few days back I was so upset.  Prime example, I forgot to not expect anything.   I can't blame it all on the paper.  It's the name of the game. Like KJ says,  people will only take advantage of you if you allow them to.

    Today I was called into the editor's office,  It seems some jobs in the newsroom are on the line.  Not enough money coming in to satisfy the bottom line.  But wait, I could stay at the paper if I was willing to do design work at the Air Force Academy for their once-a-week newsletter-type paper, 2 1/2 days a week, mid -week..  I could even work for the photo dept. the extra twelve hours, hmmmm.  Well this was a shocker but maybe I need that change as much as anything. I am damn lucky to still have a job. Maybe a three day weekend could be worked out.  Maybe a door will open.  Maybe I will love it.....maybe I'll get off my ass and actually find the job that I know I am capable of doing and make some money too, now that I could get used to.

      Regardless,  I will pull my head out of my ass, because frankly I have no choice and no one likes a whiner. Bring it on.
