epiphany

April 5th, 2006 at 01:45 pm

I'm feeling pretty good today. It was a struggle getting out of bed, but once I got up, I felt great.

SO mentioned Mexico again this morning. Has he done his taxes? No. I have already allocated the money for other things - like new glasses, since mine have disintigrated. How many times did I tell him to do his taxes? Arg!!

I need to stop using my cards and get back into only using the cash that I have in the bank. I pay off the cards every month, but I'm starting to get too dependent on them again. I tend to live a month BEHIND instead of a month AHEAD.

Last night I had a brief epiphany. I should be making a lot more money. Now, I know I've been saying this a lot lately...but I finally believed it. My talents and my education are not being utilized. I need to do something about that.

    I know exactly what you mean...I am feeling the same way today after a disappointing meeting about a possible teaching position for next year. Frown

    To make a long story short - they seem to really want and need someone with my background, training and experience, but the salary they came up with is just absolutely paltry. They also held out the carrot of tuition reduction and then pulld it back today, saying only staff working at least 75% time qualify. I didn't say no, but I did say that I would have to mull over the numbers and get back to them.

    That's the Cliff Notes version. Wink
