...that there are two types of people in the world:
The first type thinks they get paid to put up with shit.
The second type thinks they get paid to do their job.
I am the Queen of the SECOND type.
I want/need/should get paid to do what I DO. That is... I'm a construction superintendent (ironically, there are lots of folks out there that wouldn't admit to that fact, but I am happy and proud that I am a woman in this field.) I am also proud to say that, unlike so many other people, I don't get paid to sit on my ass and play Solitare or PacMan.
Tomorrow, I must face up to the fact that things are going to change DRAMATICALLY for me. I will be told that my supervisor and my job responsibilities will change and I will have to begin legal proceedings because of it. Of course, this is all because I found the balls to bitch about my piss poor merit increase. For over four years, I have dealt with stupidity, misogyny, racism, sexism, - fuck -------- NAME IT. Tomorrow will be the catalyst to change all of that. I have to remind myself that I am in the second category of people... I earn my living by what I do, what I have earned the right to do, and the fucking fact that I do it EXTREMELY well. I did not get to where I am because I simply take unsolicited bullshit.
Maybe it's all the yoga. I did a handstand today and held it for a lonngggg time. Considering I haven't been able to do that in 18 years, I just hope my tolerance muscles are as strong as my physical muscles.
More later.
