Above & Beyond
“I don’t get paid to do that.” “That’s not my job.” “Why do I have to do it? Can’t someone else?” When you work for any company/firm as support staff, administrative assistant, administrative professional, gate keeper, hub, go-to gal, whatever you want to call it…you wear many hats and those above phrases should not be…

Hurt People Hurt People
How do you deal with the people who aren’t just difficult to you but are also hurting those closest to you? Hearing that someone I’ve been having frustrating issues with is also hurting someone else, that really gets to me. I have to take a step back and talk myself out of blowing up and…

An Inevitable Ending
The Summer of 2013, I interviewed for a family with two kids, a boy and a girl, and we played the game Headbandz. I still remember leaving that interview feeling good. Feeling like I fit in. It was a great feeling. I got the job. When you start you don’t think about the inevitable end.…

Rough Day
It’s been a really rough mental battle day. Lots of thoughts swarming through my brain like a cloud of angry bees telling me life would be better if I ceased to exist. It’s been an exhausting day. I do not sleep a regular sleep schedule. It’s typically an hour here or there, not consistent, and…
