I'm really over dealing with the real world right now. I want to find my rabbit hole and hide away in adventureland.
After five years in the same position at work I am being demoted. Yes, this is better than losing my job all together, but it still is a big pay cut and well...sucks! I'm also being realistic and know that midyear budget is just around the corner and my department will be hit hard again.
I can't believe that I am looking for other jobs at the age of 35. I went into my profession figuring I would only be in it for a few years (I was on the wait list for the job I really wanted). Then two years became five years...five years became eight. I was vested and couldn't see myself anywhere else. I had my career mapped out and knew how long it would take me to get to each next promotion. Then the bubble exploded all over my department last year and continues to devastate us now.
I think this is why for the last year my posts have not been about cheerful going on's. Give me a month and I'll hopefully be in a better place and can write about the happier things in life.

Hang in there, it will all work out! :)
Hi there! I hope things have gotten better since this post a couple of weeks ago. I got laid off three months ago myself.
Hey blog friend! Just checking in to see how you're doing! I hope you are having a good fall/almost Halloween.
You know, I have been out of blogland a lot the last several months and I am going through my reader checking on my faves...so many people have been writing about tough times with work or family or just general exhaustion. You are not alone. Hugs.
