RunningwithcatsParticipantMaking a list and working on it is a great idea, and each part of the list makes a lot of sense, they’re good things. I think just focusing on going through each part of your list may help you get through each day.
I just heard a sentiment about focusing on the now rather than telling yourself that things will be better later. Not that you can’t plan or expect better things once you finish your degree, but focusing more on each good part of your day or living in the moment may help. And, to you point about all jobs sucking, maybe that’s right, maybe it’s all relative. If you have no choice but to work, like most of us do, then a way of dealing would be to make the most out of it while looking for a new job and finishing your degree.
I hope things work out for you.
RunningwithcatsParticipantI’ve been involved with direct mail campaigns for two different businesses (one in online fashion retail, one in hospitality), and while it takes a little while to gather results, the intangible benefits of it are unique. In this day of email marketing all over the place, a customer getting a cool looking piece of mail is a delight. I think it’s a good idea!
I’m a copywriter, and while I can’t really give you hard advice on all the marketing of it, I may be able to help you write/edit your mailer.
Let us know how it works out! Good luck.
RunningwithcatsParticipantThe most important part is that you assert yourself, that you do spend your time with whom and how you want to spend it. How you do it is secondary to your need to take care of yourself first.
I prefer the straight forward solution to most problems. I would feel better about myself telling her straightforwardly than postponing seeing her with no explanation. I would feel stronger (for being assertive) and honest (for being honest).
^that is what rings most true to me. I would think that she will be able to hear me out and, hopefully, be Okay with whatever I’m saying I need in my life.
Thanks so much.
RunningwithcatsParticipantSo, you’re saying I need to just tell her straight forward? That’s probably fair. I will see her on Sunday for a lunch after I had declined hanging out for a few weekends in a row. I would much rather have a face-to-face conversation than write or text, as I feel like that would be a lot less formal and less hurtful. Does that make sense?
