Yeah, I imagine a lot of people are not going to want to go back to working at the office after this!

I work from home too due to Corona issue. And it's never better
 .Some time ago, I chatted with my former coworker in my old workplace. Turned out the condition worsened. The drama increases and more unethical terminations. And they still have to go to the workplace despite the government's ban to go out. I feel so relieved to quit there as soon as I could. I was once berated because I resigned last February and missed my Bonus and Allowance in April (which was three times my income). But now with the condition, I think that money is not worth it anymore. |

Wild, windy flight away from home. 38 knot crosswind landing with only one notch of flaps. Nothing but butter, smooth landing. Just chilling and being bored in my hotel room now.

MY CEO wrote me a personal email this morning. At first, I thought I was being let go... then I skipped to the end of his somewhat long note and saw positives, which was a huge sigh of relief! He wrote to tell me personally what a great job I am doing, and to let me know how much my clients like and appreciate me, which he is hearing through our account management team. I feel really good now since receiving it, especially in knowing how my boss and manager are both trying to undermine my success.

A coworker who used to cause me all kinds of stress during the past 2 years is now a voice of reason and calm through all that is going on. I'm glad he is my teammate now. I didn't think that 2 years ago.

My job called today and said they are going to continue to pay us for 2 weeks. I was worried I was going to get layed off with plans to rehire and my mom and my therapist weren’t sure either what was going to happen.

My second medical research publication was e-published today in a top-rated peer-reviewed medical journal. It will be in print in July. This is very exciting.

I only started working two weeks ago, and the new company staff told me I'm a star employee. Well, thank you very much!! Now, I'm getting more assignments. I am surviving and hoping to get as many assignments as possible. Of course, I have a limit. But, the more I work, the more I earn. Life is not bad now!!

So I consult with a medical research lab and while I am typically leading the project to get the research published, I dont usually get to be the first author or senior author on a manuscript. That's a position usually held for whomever had the most clout. But I worked on a research paper that was tedious and painstaking and kept getting rejected although the editor would tell me why and said he wanted to see a revision. After 3 revisions, today my first first-author research paper in a peer-reviewed medical journal was officially accepted.

Started a new job today and already this company is making a much better impression than the last one I worked at. Still not my dream job, but in these times I'm glad to have found a job at all.

Seriously, the coolest thing happened today. My paper was recently published, and another researcher from a big university emailed me and complimented the paper and reached out to ask if I want to plan a symposium about the topic at a conference! It feels so amazing to have put something out in the world that spoke to people and that other researchers took notice and we could do more research together - and make the world a better place. I finally feel like I'm doing what I said I wanted to do my whole life. It's awesome. And I turn 40 on Monday. Lol.

I finally can share some good news. My most challenging client - who fights me every step of the way - called me at home the other day to discuss the details of a project. And during the conversation, he gave me the greatest compliment I think I've ever received at work! He told me I am the smartest person he has worked with in this field, then he said that he loves working with me! That was amazing and made me feel really good!
Then the second piece of good news. We have a work virtual "social hour" every Friday, where the CEO and CMO join us and talk about the week's events. I never speak up in these calls. In fact, my PTSD gets triggered when I have to speak in front of larger groups of people, and my voice can shake. Well, I spoke up and shared a success story about one of my clients. We had had a great call with the client yesterday, and I shared how well they're doing, how we've succeeded in achieving our goals with them, and I was sure to thank various team members for their support and help with pushing through a major project, including my CEO. My CEO was pretty pleased to hear this, so was my CMO, who is a good friend of the client. My boss also heard me say this in front of the whole company -- my boss is one who is trying to undermine my success at work. So this was a great feat on my part, because I rose to the task, overcame my fear of public speaking, I shared my success story, and I shared it in front of my boss, who was probably seething. LOL. Speaking of which, my boss has not had one single positive thing to say about our team in these social meetings since they began. Not one single word of positive reinforcement for anyone on the team -- he's the one who should be sharing our success stories. So I shared instead, and I hope it works in my favor.

The assistant manager and I had a meeting. She said most of my students like me. After receiving a complaint, accolades sound nice to my ear!! I am doing well. She was wondering if they were too many students too soon. Nah, it is ok, I said. I like being busy for a change. It is not too bad. Life is not bad!! I'm going to be ok!! I guess, they want to keep me and after the complaint, are trying to encourage me to stay. lol, what a life!!

Although my company has permanently laid off 1300 people, I have survived the cull and will be going back to work at the end of May.

The good thing is that I have control over my schedule and erased some hours that I was available. I am blessed to have a job. However, I'm not going to go insane over working.

I got only two new students so far. I am happy. I'm still working towards 20 hours a week. I am still not there but close. I can sleep well still on my break time. I really don't know how the other teachers deal with this schedule. I have a split shift. It is not easy to work early in the morning then late at night. But, I am happy and grateful to have a job. I have to remember to focus on making a good impression at the initial lesson. I will put my effort into doing this. I like the head teacher who was nice to give me some ideas. I will be ok!

Well, I guess this is both good and bad.
Well, there I was, rolling down the runway when we hit Vr (rotation speed to takeoff) and the wheels leave the deck. We begin retracting gear and, at about 200', one engine loses significant power. As the more experienced pilot and aircraft commander, I take the controls and assess. We need to land. I call tower for an immediate recovery, gently maneuver the aircraft back into the pattern and nurse her to the runway, all near stall speed while being unable to hold altitude at near full power. I put her down on the centerline, nothing but butter. My heart was thumping for an hour after that. I got a huge thanks from the crew and passengers. |
