Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I felt like I was being extremely immature for getting so upset yesterday. And I was just upsetting myself and accomplishing nothing. But the thing about it is, my company has been downsizing, and I can't help but think that it appears that I don't have much to contribute because I'm not given the opportunity. Also, I'd just like to be appreciated for the intelligent, hard working person I am. I just never feel like I get that. I guess part of it comes from the fact that I didn't graduate from high school (because of the crippling depression) and I've been trying to prove myself ever since, but I also feel there is some legitimacy for how I'm feeling. I've actually talked to my boss about her blatant favortism and the fact that I'm not given the opportunity to do as much as I am capable, but she just doesn't get it. I would just for once like to have someone want me to do a challanging job because they know I'll do it well.
I realized yesterday that I was accomplishing nothing by getting angry and upset. And if I wanted to do something about it I should just get another job, which I have been looking into. I just hate the feeling that my boss has so little faith in me. This is something I've gotten angry about off and on ever since I've been at this job. My last job was a totally different situation, but pretty much the same idea. That boss was quite the chauvinist and seemed to think a female was not as capable. Anyway, I guess its just time to make some changes rather than sit around and complain.
As for my apartment – loving it! It just feels so good to have my own place, like I'm finally a grown up or something!
