The past few posts on my last thread gave me a focus for my weight loss efforts.
I said:
And I told husband that part of what made the whole incident with Mike so shocking was that I thought my being over weight would protect me from situations like that.
Husband said in his opinion, it makes me look more vulnerable and thus an easy target.
Sigh.
I think he's right. Will be something I focus on during my efforts to lose weight.
Goal: To become a Pillar of Strength. To lose weight and get strong so that I don't look like an easy target.
Regarding your new boss - PIB, I have been in a very uncomfortable work situation where the comments were specifically and explicitly sexual.
My H was involved in an A at the time (I didn't really knwo about that) and wanted out. I had just gotten out of the hospital for being depressed and suicidal. As a result of the harassment an dall the H issues, I ended up right back in. So I completely understand where you're coming from.
Not looking vulnerable and becoming strong are great goals in this situation. Here's my (((PIB))) because I know what it's like to be a woman who needs her job.
You're doing great. Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
Opt, thank you for your view point. That does make me feel better. I just wish I knew one way or the other. I'm much more comfortable when things are black/white...can't you tell?!
Pam, as always you brighten my day.
Pattie and Myrrh, thank you for the visit and encouragment!
Kitti Kat, absolutely join me! The more the merrier!
So, this was the highlights of our phone conversation just now:
He called said, "it's your friend, G"
I said, "Hello Boss"
he said he'd be here bright and early
I said, "Wonderful"
he said, "I don't know if it's that wonderful. Do you miss me that much?"
I repsonded, "I have lots of paperwork for you to sign"
Husband officially started on his two weeks of looking after his Little Brother on Tuesday.
He called me Wed morning just to say hi. Awww...how sweet of him!
I went out to dinner last night with my parents and we worked on my Graduate Program application.
Because I work at the University, I get tuition remission. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get into the program and be able to start taking classes after work.
I haven't worked any more on my labyrinth, so no news to report there.
