  • Plants, painting, crochet, gaming, motorcycles, reading, music, penpals, fountain pens.

    Really into Diablo 4 right now and in the process of buying plants# 15 and 16. Will get a new fountain pen for Christmas as well. I go through about a book a week give or take depending on how interesting it is.





  • Not sure if I’d call it bullying but my boss is giving me a hard time about the fact that I’m leaving. She REALLY wants to know why I want to leave so she can try to fix it but I can’t give her the reason that started it all because it was over a year ago and there’s been a lot of little and not so little bullshit things that have happened since then. Turnover in general is definitely higher than it should be and I get that they want to address that…but I just want to slide out the back door and move on with my life.

    How am I dealing with it? I’m standing on my resignation and I have two weeks left until I’m gone. Setting boundaries and working on sitting with my feelings whenever possible.




  • Well…the good news is I submitted my letter of resignation for my job, which I am thrilled about. I’ll have better pay and flexibility and work for a company that has more than adequate staffing and support.

    The bad news is my boss is trying to do EVERYTHING she can to get me not to leave. I told her no 6 different ways to no avail. She doesn’t respect boundaries. My supervisor that left a year and a half ago said it took her three times to leave. I had a meeting with boss yesterday and felt so manipulated it was disgusting. I also have to give a month’s notice so it’s going to be a long 3 weeks. I’m hoping that once I sign a contract at my new job (hopefully tomorrow), that will get my boss to let it go.








  • It was good in the sense that I finally finished my first diamond painting (it was huge) and I’m happy with the end result, just needs to be framed.

    Been a little discouraged regarding looking for another job. I’m a therapist and all the positions in jobs sites don’t pay well, are looking for fully licensed people, which I am not, or don’t offer schedule flexibility. I do have some connections in the field that I’m leaning on to see what comes up and I do have a decent position waiting for me in the coming months but wanted to see what else is out there.

    On the negative side, I’m not sleeping well. It comes and goes based on stress and sugar consumption and it’s hard to stay on top of sometimes cuz damn it sugar is good 😔 I’m also coping well enough with the fact that I dislike my boss and the way she runs her business, which is most of the reason why I’m leaving. I love my clients but it’s a trainwreck that’s been in motion for over a year.
