new job story
Hopalong:
Oh thank you both!
Those posts were exactly what I needed to hear.
SUCH trusted voices.
Gotta dash to a meeting ("covenant group") but wanted to tell you my T convo on the phone was really helpful AND he pointed out (I'd sent him the workshop info) that right now (until Dec. 22 when the instructor chooses his workshop participants)...all I risk is $100 (a nonrefundable deposit...he will be reviewing an 8-page sample).
Then I was poleaxed with fear that during the move I'd lost my precious, completed, Chapter One. And when I got home tonight I tore into the Scary Room (home office/study) and went right to it. All ready to photocopy and mail in for the deadline tomorrow.
Seemed like a sign, whether it is or not. I'm definitely plunking down the deposit and sending it all in. We'll see what happens.
Thank you again so much for the courage.

My whole house, the garages and studio are like that "scary room" Hops. I'm SOOO glad a past you, was thinking of the "now" you, and did you a favor; took care of you. I've had a couple of those moments in the past month... and it seems in this new place, I'm using this made-up concept of "taking care of tomorrow's, or next year's, or whatever future me" a lot more.
It's helping me deal with the unfamiliarity of my space; the inevitable clutter & mess; and still staying on top of the "official business" related to moving - learning all the new house systems, state requirements, etc. One thing I don't think is going to follow me in the mail are my seed catalogs. Need to write that down somewhere. Writing it down, means I can let go of it in my head, which means it's not so full to bursting all the time... LOL.

Whoo hoo, Hops!
Full time, just what you needed, perhaps not wanted, but such a relief.
And new advertising and products about to come online...... of course that's happening now.
You have skills and disciplines your boss can't, and she has opportunities and something special that put her in this business to begin with. It's an interesting match with much potential for all.... very exciting.
::clapping with delight::
I do see you writing, Hops. I do see you taking the class, even if the plan shifts to next year. It can still be right on time with so much on your plate.
Maybe tackling that scary room, or tweaking that first chapter and outline, or building the company to a certain point needs to happen first? Whatever happens, it's going to be OK.
I think I mentioned neuro touch Feldenkrais and the Anat Baniel Method on another thread......

All the Anat CD's are on sale right now for the holidays.... huge discounts...... a practitioner could show you how to do the movements correctly in a week or so, and it might actually correct the things that cause your symptoms. If that means you don't have to spend time and money treating symptoms it might be less expensive, and life changing. It has been for my youngest child.
It's going to be interesting to see where the company goes now that you're there 40 hours a week.
Congrats, Hops. You deserve this. You've earned it.

Jeez, guys.
My ditsy boss just realized she doesn't have the money for the expansion after all, panicked and pulled the plug on the entire project (including me). She had been paying me PT completely (and foolishly) on credit and then her next application for a business loan was denied. Kaput.
I wasn't expecting it, feeling shock. Worry will sink in later. Right now...bourbon is sinking in.
Come to my pity party?
Hops

Oh dear, Hops. I'm in shock with you. It's not what I expected to happen. Not what should have happened.... I'm so sorry.
It means another door will open, but.....
damn.
It's a jolt.
(((((Hops))))))
It's going to be OK.... even when we can't see how it's going to be OK.
I so did not see that coming either.
