Don't Get To Comfortable - Another blank canvas, starting over AGAIN

Here we go again. I've been at my job for 3 weeks now. I'm enjoying it. Have a few concerns on how things are being operated in a training aspect but I figured it would change; this is only your first day.

As the weeks go on, I'm self motivated,  getting projects done and I'm feeling ready.  Ready to be in charge,  make some changes, game face on.

Not long after this I am called to an office.  When I haven't had much talking or interaction with this man since my start date I knew it likely wasn't going to be good. "shut the door " We have now entered a serious conversation.
*disappointed
*rule breaker
*unfixable
*failing to meet our expectations

What can I do to fix it? I ask. "I just don't know if there is anything. " he sits back in his chair and asks if I want to talk about anything else?  Do I have other concerns outside of work that I wanted to share?

No and no.  I've been here a few weeks,and  yes, I'm crying at this point. Are you going to be okay?  He asked.

I'm fine, as I shudder through tears.

24 Hours Later @4:23 p.m.
They parade their way into my office with a box in hand. I already know what's coming next. "We regret to inform you that today is your last day. You'll need to get your stuff" - box is then pushed towards me.

"There were expectations and those just weren't met.  It's just not a right fit. "

"I don't have anything, I say."  Remember,. I haven't even been here a month. And, I'm glad I grabbed my extra protien bars the night before.

Never once was there a detailed conversation on what expectations I wasn't meeting.  I knew something was up when I was working on a project that had my name on it earlier but was now replaced with the former public relations managers name.  Touche when they walked in with the box.

One of the female Staff  personnel walked me out and said, "thank you for keeping your composure and we do wish you the best in the future. " How encouraging after they just let you go.But obviously I have skills that can be utilized somewhere else.

Life goes on. My canvas is a lite bit more filled now with a house, new car, and no job. But things happen for a reason... Or so I say, and truly hope.
And my crazy life continues

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t

Flashback Friday (to two weeks ago...)End of Semester.....I made it

Every year at the start of the semester I say that I'm going to be better about blogging and updating. Well, once again, I've failed to post anything since September. Things tend to get a little crazy 4 weeks after the start of the semester and then I look back and think, "Where did the time go?" As always, I'll give you a recap of how the semester went down.... This post has been a long time coming. Again, I spent countless hours on the road four days a week. It was becoming exhausting, and routine. I was getting burnt out. But the thing about this semester is that there was light at the end of it. I was going to be free from driving 200 miles a day, and be in my student teaching placement, hopefully somewhat close to home. The amount of stress that I endured this semester was more than I thought I would have to manage. Between practicums, night classes, working at the winery, the single mom thing, and then a relationship on top of it all, I'm not sure ho

Does Size Matter?

I have always struggled with accepting my body size and shape. I have never been Barbie thin. My entire life I have always been bigger than my friends, teammates, you name it. It has been an issue that I've struggled with for a really long time. Right after my divorce I was super thin and was working out and teaching group exercises 3 times a week...I loved the way my body looked but I still wasn't happy. While life and stress makes my weight fluctuate, I still am active and enjoy working out. I cannot wait for the gyms to open back up so I have a place to go and lift. I've been running, and even bought a new pair of running shoes. But this post isn't really about me, it's about the idea of what others see my body as. I have been open to dating recently and have been on a handful of dates...none that really amounted to anything. There was one, but it was a total friend zone kind of 6 weeks. Great person, just not the right fit. I had a date this weekend and i
