Good Times Lemonade
Posted in sad thoughts, subservience
Well you know what they say, when life gives you lemons make lemonade.
Cliche, I know. But that's exactly how I feel right now. Those who have read my previous posts (yes Bob, you) know what I went through the last couple of months in my chosen career.
I endured the not-so-happy experience of getting promoted, then being bounced around different departments, and ending up having to move to a different company altogether and being relegated to my previous position. I know it's been 4 wonderful years since I started out in the business. A little sad yes, because after 4 long years I'm back to where I started.
But the optimist inside me tells me that it's really not so bad. Besides, those were 4 years of employment. I look around me and I see that not everyone was as lucky as I was.
Some people spent the last 4 years of their lives on the streets. Those a little more fortunate spent the last 4 years at home, unemployed, while taking care of 6 or 7 children. Some even spent their time in jail. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not finding consolation in other people's misfortunes. I am merely trying to say that I have absolutely no right to complain.
Maybe we all just need to make lemonade.
