The Price I Pay?

by MouthyGirl

I am trapped beneath the thumb of my employer. I am bound by the income on which I rely. I long for the day when I can say, “Take this job and shove it” and go to work at home, this has been my desire since I was a child.

I think several times I’ve gotten in my own way and hindered what could’ve been. But no more. Learning what I am is great and all, but how will it help me in the future? Will I carry this knowledge and use it beyond this place? I’m not so sure. I’ve spent a lot of years working my way into the medical world and now I’m beginning to think trading that in may not have been smart.

But then, I’m having a bad day, I’ve been talked down to, blamed for other’s mistakes and treated like a servant – all before noon.

This could very well be my just desserts for not sticking with some of the things I started. At the time I make decisions, sometimes they are emotional decisions and not necessarily logical ones. But just the same, I feel I’m paying penance for transgressions I may or may not have committed.

Is it worth it? I’m beginning to wonder. :???:

Rest assured however this is serving as a catalyst to my seeking a WAH job as a transcriptionist, which I have the experience for, just no luck finding a full time at home job that I can live off of…I will be looking though. Greener pastures and all that jazz.

You Should Be More Like…

by MouthyGirl

Ever hear that? Um, how annoying. No I SHOULDN’T be more like ANYONE! First of all if you’ve ever said that to someone and actually thought it would help them in some way – hate to break it to ya…that doesn’t help anything, and furthermore, it pisses people off. No one likes to be compared to someone else, much less be expected to be like someone else.

Besides we have enough of that, people are already following the latest commercial, watching what the commercials tell them too, etc. We are an automated people with no stimulation to our brains and intellectual side unless we seek it out.

Screw following the crowd and blending in. This is my town baby and I’m striping it green!

Sorry I got a little carried away there. I swear, had I been born in the times of the Great Janis Joplin and Woodstock and bras being burned and women talking back to those men who used to think being abusive was “laying down the law”, I would have been some kind of Hell raiser!

I want a Bentley Lord, won’t ya please buy me one?

Don’t be like anyone else and give a dirty look if someone ever says that to you because they deserve it. However if you hear someone pretending to be you, based on the situation it could either be flattering or insulting.

Example…My sister in law came over Sunday and her son and daughter came too of course, during the course of them playing with my son, Alexis, my neice in law was not allowed entry to the bedroom – it was some sort of game they were playing. Anyways, I hear Alexis say at the door, “This is Sabrina, ya’ll are going to get a spanking if you don’t open this door.”

I almost fell out of my chair! I told them I was mean so they wouldn’t act up, which worked of course, but apparently came back to bite me! I really thought that it was hilarious, I am a strict mom but come on I don’t spank other people’s children! But I did go say something to her about it, because she was lying to the kids on the other side of the door and trying to use intimidation. Ha! Me intimidating. I guess to them I am. LOL.

So yeah, I thought it was cute so I wasn’t insulted. But being like someone else is ridiculous and all you’ll do is lose yourself, and not like Eminem.
