On the upswing

I have had several good days in a row at work and I feel like I'm on the upswing of this funk I have been in.

I hate to say it, but I think it all started with that no-show man I was trying to see. That all started at the end of September and beginning of October. It lasted until late April and I think it really brought me down.

I've met this new man and have been getting adjusted to being with someone who is really nice and cares about me and my feelings. Now that I'm beginning to trust it a little more and feel more confident, things are looking up. He is supportive of my career and my school. He thinks about me and wants to share his own daily details with me as well. We are really having a lot of fun and talking non-stop. We have good communication and...well, I just don't quite know how to explain it. I think it can only be described in these words: "When you know, you know".

So, I'm feeling more attached and committed to work and am almost ready to start another semester (starts next week) and I think I can do this. It really feels good to be positive again!!

A-A- and more news

Second semester down..and I made A- in both my classes. Yay!!!

Oddly enough, I have met a really nice man just after learning that the last one was terrible for a reason. I am not sure that I want to say too much about him yet because that didn't pan out so well with the last one. He's really sweet and I am enjoying my time with him. We have seen each other every day (well, the ones I was in town for) since we met two weeks ago. I was out of town last week and we talked every day. We get into these conversations about everything and nothing and suddenly it's 7am or 5am or something crazy like that.

I'll keep you all updated, but I'm all smiles and giggles right now.

Now..on to a new semester, beginning May 31. Hopefully I will post more before then. I'm thinking since the first semester I had B+ and second semester I had A-, then this summer I'm shooting for As. Wish me luck!!

Work blues

I'm feeling kinda blah at the moment about work. I keep thinking that it will turn around and I will get back into the groove, but it's just not happening. I don't want to talk to people on the phone. I don't want to visit with people. I don't want to be the one who people come to when they have problems or questions or need things or want things. People just call and email and ask me for more and more and ....ahhh!!!!

I think it's called Compassion Fatigue and it could be a little bit of Burnout but ....come on......

Any advice?!
