i jump, you jump
i've wanted to throw in the towel many times in the recent years. i'm finding it increasingly difficult to be a mom and have a successful career. something's got to give. i enjoy work but it kills me that i can't be w the kids. sigh.i believe in the work i do. and i'm passionate about it. i also like to think i have good ethics. the team draws from my strength and i feel that they are confident for it. so every time i even bring up the topic of leaving, they turn all titanic on me.
if i go, they will walk, they say. and if they do, everything that the dept stands for, or the good that it does for the patients and their families, goes down with the ship. i'm not going to call their bluff.
and for that reason alone, i tell myself another year.

Can't strike a balance? Maybe not so many hours at work? Find a way to leave strictly at 6?
Could you not work like maybe 3 times a week there?
Well, don't forget, kids grow up very fast and you have 3 beautifooo and adorable children... unlike you, there are some who don't even have 1 to give up their careers for...cuz i would... cuz i'll definitely treasure the precious moments too much when they don't want their mummy no more...and i can't possibly clip their wings..
look at me, rambling away..sorry, well, that's just me..whatever decision you make, i'm sure you'll make a great one... and even if you realise you don't, i'm here..just a air ticket away!
and you can bring 10 credit cards with you to shop away...BJL says he'll bring 10 sugar daddies..hahah...
xoxo,
Pam
Its really AMAZING u can hang in there for so long ... maybe you can consider PT?
BL
DG - noooo, i can't do part time
pam - thanks for the support, which ever path i take :)
bl - i'm not "hanging in there", i don't see it that way. i WANT to be there. i really do believe in the work. guess i'm always up for a challenge. haha.
No worries, matey....
So, I wrote a especially poem for you:
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year
but..
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
But I won't be there for you (when you go MAC crazy)
'Cuz I ain't got no money too...
*You smiling right, Shoes??? Can't say I didn't try....*
this is not good. i come in to see if i can laugh at something or anything on a bleak, filled with angst monday morning, ... instead i hear an echo of myself... the road is espeically rough today, coupled with PMS.
and i only got 1to your 3? but it doesnt make me feel better, FYI
pull at different directions with kids, work, parents, hb... i am so tired and sick sick sick
unlike you, its more of a responsibliliy to another who had done so much for me at the same stage i was before, i cannot jump becoz of ME now.
i think me and you, we need a break, some booze, many chocolates or what have it. and i need the fix like now! how to carry on for the rest of the week like this?
think positive
think love
think good
think fun
think laughter
crap, that is hard! but hang on there... it will get better, i hope....right?
dun think i am helping... i am rumbling

u are amazing woman! I just dont know how you handle work (knowing how stressful it can-at least to me), 3 kids, wait 4 including your hubs, oh wait, make it 5kids (er...your mum?)!! I salute you, from mother to mother!!!
By the way, cant quite imagine you leaving your work, this job was made for you man! MADE FOR YOU!
thanks every one, for your love
pam - you did make me smile : )
win - if you throw in a spa with the beer and chocolates, i'm IN!
cheok-o-late - what can i say, you know i love the work. i am insane. the stress drives me. xiao cha boh right.
Your job keeps you grounded every day, so do your kids. Many without a job... many without kids... You get both.
He wouldn't possibly dish anything out to you that you can't handle. Just remember to breathe and cut yourself a break once in while. I think of what you do and I'm in awe all the time.
Stop being the over-achiever Scorpio for 5 minutes woman! We gotta get you drunk. But knowing you, you'll be yawning by 10pm, so I think drinking session's got to start at 5pm.
i'm so useless right? sigh. but i really DO want to go drinking you know.
maybe we do like a zouk thing where we get to boogie. i bet that will keep me awake at least till 11pm. macam?
Macam can! I also want. And I know someone else who's been bugging me to death to go boogie...
I wouldn't mind a bit of boogie. We didn't even lock down a date for our eat-in do... what makes you think we can lock a date down for some boogie?
