In order to try to forget about it and the crazy N-in-Chief today, I went to a movie. I saw La La Land. It was a beautiful movie but the message that if you just keep dreaming, if you keep trying, your big dreams will come true was just hard to swallow. I think we all know that's not the reality. Like you, I don't know why some are blessed with luck and opportunities and others just have to struggle through life. I am feeling very bad about this job. Like all my previous jobs, I do a great job and am almost immediately given lots more responsibility...but it's never a win win. I never get reciprocated to the same level. I think this current situation is hitting my hot buttons--never being respected, valued or rewarded. Sigh. I do my best to keep it in perspective as I know there are so very many others who are struggling more than I. Thanks for listening.

I think it's ingrained in us from a very early age that if only we work hard enough everything we want will come to us.  And no, you're right, it doesn't!  Although maybe this job is hitting so many buttons because something in you is stirring and saying enough is enough?  Might be the last time you have to take a job that isn't right for you - here's hoping :) x
