I'm forging ahead and trying to keep a smile on my face. Don't get me wrong, I have zero desire to smoke. But, my boss is stressing all of us out. I had two interviews for other jobs late last week--one didn't pan out, and I'm still waiting to hear back about the other one. I need to get a new job. ASAP. That's been my main source of stress today. I just feel like I'm a boat without a rudder right now, because my boss is not clear about the future of the foundation for which I work. She sold one of the buildings that offices are housed in, and we are to move across the street to the other building. And the work will continue in some form. But honestly, the last few months I feel like I've been pulled around on a string in circles by her and I'm frustrated, and burnt out. I want to say ENOUGH lady to her. Of course, I won't. And I definitely won't smoke, but I just needed to come here and get all of this stuff out. I feel like there's no easy solution to this job conundrum. I have no choice but to keep plugging away here until a new opportunity comes along. But I don't know how much more I can take of my boss's insanity. One day she says one thing, the next day, she says another. In her defense, she is 91 years old and needs to just retire already. So I get why she sold the building--like many small businesses, she got hit hard by the pandemic. But I'm tired of worrying about my livelihood every. single. day. Wondering if there is even a job to come back to. I will keep looking, passing my resume around, calling places, knocking on doors. For now, smoke-free but frustrated and just needed a release valve on all of this craziness. I hope everyone reading this is doing well. Stay strong and committed to your quits! XO
