I apologize to the lot of my readers for my long absence.  An illness in the family just drains all your energy, and up until now I know that I have not fully recovered.

Amidst these problems, truths have unravelled.  I am still picking up the pieces and putting them all together.  I have learned a myriad of things about myself, my family and others through this ordeal.  I am still threading the waters, and still a long way to go before I finally get out of this.

I pray I get out of this wiser, stronger and unbroken.

I read this from Yahoo! Hot Jobs.  I can so relate!Â

1. You start to dread Monday as soon as you leave work on Friday.

2. It becomes more and more difficult to get up for work each day, and tardiness becomes a way of life.

3. You cannot muster enthusiasm for anything related to work — other than your paycheck.

4. You spend most of your time complaining to colleagues or about your colleagues.

5. You act defensive and even hostile in company meetings when there’s little cause for it.

6. You interact less and less with co-workers, shutting yourself away in your office and avoiding opportunities to socialize.

7. You’ve used up all your sick, personal, and vacation days — and the year isn’t even half over.

8. You’re constantly putting off until tomorrow what you could (and should) do today. When you do actually commit to doing your work, you feel resentful.

9. You’re bitter about the company’s success or that of a co-worker.

10. You have no professional goals related to your job, and you have a hard time even making some up at your obligatory performance review.

Amidst all the problems in the world, let us take a deep breath and cherish this glorious moment of humanity.
