What to do when you have had one of “those” days.
Ever have one of those days?
I’ve had one of those weeks.
Which is crazy in the grand scheme of things, because it’s really only just a few bad hours this week.
But they affect the whole day.
They affect the whole weekend.
It started with a fight.
I may have mentioned I’m job hunting, which in turn leads to job offers. I got a verbal job offer that was supposed to be followed up on with a written offer.
I accepted.
And since then, crickets.
Two weeks worth of crickets.
They still communicate with me with email saying that they’re still interested.
But no offer.
The reasons are varied. Budget quota. Start date. Training. Etc.
Each follow up brings a new excuse.
But when I share excuse with the one who is relying on me to go find money, I get yelled at.
She’s afraid.
Hell, everyone’s afraid.
What happens when money stops coming in?
There’s a good reason to yell today.
