"What to do when life gets crazy"


  

          

Do u just fall the fuck back?

I’ve had people in my past say yes and no

When nothing is working out do u just reevaluate and change plans.

I will be celebrating my 15 year bid at my current job. I had to call out today cause my sitter canceled. This happens once every two weeks.
I’m thinking I need to make a career change but it’s hard. Everything is hard.

We changed daycares because the last one always had a some bullshit reason for keeping a kid out. Slight fever? Gotta stay out the next day even tho she was teething.

So we changed, and haven’t had any issues plus it’s closer to the house. It’s more expensive but they are thriving and it’s worth the extra cost. When we add up gas saved, time saved and not missing work? We probably break even.

Sometimes saving money up front is actually more expensive in the long run.

15 years is a long time to be at one place, but that's my thing.

but when life gets wild, my actions depend on how much control I have. if things are controlled outside of me, sometimes you just gotta ride that wave and hope for a good outcome. but if I can alter the outcome for the better, I usually make that move.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

Dude said “7 years? No one stays at a job that long anymore”

15 years is a long ass time. Unless you are in upper management or caking it’s prolly time to make a move.

That comment by dude made me realize I got too comfortable. I wasn’t pushing myself.

never stayed at any job this long before. had jobs for just a few months and decided to move on for other opportunities. I've been able to quickly decide if the place is right for me. once I decide it aint right, I'm out.

I realized the best way to get a raise is to get a new job. otherwise, you're constantly waiting on a raise/promotion from your current.

every time I've moved the income go up by 7k or more. gotta make the move worth it by asking for the money. its basically a version of free agency without the contracts. folks aren't really paying for loyalty.

Then take action on what you can control which could be just falling back and letting things, which aren't under your control, play out. All the while, have confidence in the fact that things will work out as they should. Just be ready to accept the outcome regardless of whether or not it aligns with your desires.

More reliability for the current sitter or a new one altogether is needed. Secondly, make themove when you're ready to. It make take something drastic to get you to take the action. Don't wait until then if you're not satisfied.

--- praying for peace, love, and power

Of my 6 year old son. It was grueling for everyone involved. Just to be told it takes two weeks for them to send the results to my pediatrician and it will be July before I can actually speak with the specialist about the results. Needless to say I don’t want to wait.

I think I may be a bit tired of waiting. When people have asked me today how it went I just say fine and change the subject. I am tired of hoping and having to wait.

It is what it is tho. A nap will help.

Real talk, when shit goes wild I just remind myself that people have it way worse than I do.

Someone said volunteering.

I’m pretty good at rolling with the punches, my wife.. not so much. She gets mad when I stay calm but what would our household look like if we both went ham every time shit went left?
