Hey couch!! I had a great session with t today, we didn't do any 'work' but I share with her about the ceremony last weekend with my drumming group, and we talked about how different my job felt this past week with me no longer living from the "victim" frame of mind instead as my own heroine, how I'm totally handling the callers yelling and being conscious that it is "their stuff"so I don't sit there wanting to cry. I told her I was thinking again about working at home, and she's really encouraging me to do that, because it would get me out of the crowded office and out of all the noise, she said "you could turn your office into 'your' space, you could make it sacred space." I said well I'm not sure about that, I'm not sure at all that I want my work to be part of that, but she said maybe your work IS that - you're kind of being the caller's therapist in a way when they yell at you and you de-escalate, maybe that's where your healing work IS. I never thought of it that way, but maybe so. Hmm. I told her again that my one big concern with working at home, is that I got so isolated when I worked at home for Cox prior to this job (that's where I was working when I started therapy with her). But she said "You are a very different person now than you were then." And, I've already talked with a couple of my friends from work who are at home-ers, and they go out once a week for drinks or something to stay social. So they've already invited me to join them once I go WAH (work at home). So I'm strongly considering it again. I talked to my h about it, and he says it's fine with him. So I think I'm going to do it this time. I started to last time they offered it, but then changed my mind at the last minute. I realized today, that I could even change my hours to 6am-3pm and not have to get up any earlier than I do now - I could still get up at exactly the same time, eat breakfast, and be ready to work at 6. Then I'd be off an hour earlier. I think pretty strongly that I'm going to do it.
