Title: Today I Got a Raise Post by: Pretty Woman on January 14, 2014, 09:55:17 AM After a year of hell with my BPD ex I came into work and my boss gave me a raise.
I was not expecting this. In fact, I was just hoping I still had a job after all this crap I experienced. We just aquired a new company and have 8000 new employees. I did not want to be cut over my depression and work performance... . and this added to the stress of my relationship ending as it did in October. In May, when my ex spit at me and assaulted me I was traumatized. Everytime she left me I fell apart. My life would stop. Nothing felt worth living for. I write articles, press releases and speeches. I am a really good writer but when she would do this, it would cripple me severely. I finally spoke to my boss about it. She was glad I did because it was obvious something was wrong with me and the quality of my work. I feel so blessed that I have the support I do. I even got a bonus. I am just very lucky. When I think about how I could have lost my job over her it kills me inside. That is not me, I am stronger than that. I will never let anyone treat me that way or jepordize my career and life. Never (and not a BPD's version of NEVER, either :) Title: Re: Today I Got a Raise Post by: State85 on January 14, 2014, 10:00:19 AM Pretty Woman,

I don't want to start a new thread; but I got a new job today. It was my first day. I am estimating contract jobs for my friend who owns a successful Construction Co. I did this for a few years before I went back to school. My classes are all late afternoon classes this semester, so I am busy during the day and can do my school at night. My boss at the music venue told me since I had the most seniority, do my job great, having some emotional difficulties that I can still bartend Fri and Sat nights! The two busiest nights of the week! So, I pretty much gave myself a 33 percent raise. I am also looking to get back with my son, which will free 5 nights a week up for some Zelda on the Wii or Madden on the Playstation or hitting baseballs in the batting cage... . Boy am I really looking forward to finally being able to father my child. Alone, without any chaos, drama, and fear. |
