Thinking Of Another Break
Hello Everyone:
OMG work is slow today. Not that I'm complaining or anything like. In fact, I'm hoping it stays that way. At least I got some reading done, and, if tomorrow is anything like today, I'll have get some blogging done. The BIL called me out of the blue today to tell me about an apartment, outside of PLB, that was available to rent. I politely thanked him and told him I wasn't looking to move right now. I had to repeat myself a couple of times before he finally got the message. He apologized say he wasn't looking to push me to do anything but thought I might be interested. Really, not looking to push me to do anything? I beg to differ. It's not the first time he's tried to push me to do something I'm ready to do or offer unsolicited advice. The most recent example was Passover when he kept asking me about needing help getting the apartment ready for the holiday. I politely thanked him and told him I'd let him. Did he back off? Eventually. Residual COVID brain? Maybe. Today's call bothered me because it felt like someone was trying to push me out of my apartment. It's not the first time someone has tried to do that but what really bothers me is the fact the someone thinks they can do that and I'll happily go along with the idea. Mum thought I would have to go into public housing or live on the streets. The BIL and Sis didn't think I'd find any kind of meaningful work that could sustain me. In case, mum, BIL, and Sis were proven wrong. Yes, I have a job that pays me enough to sustain myself. Yes, it's not a forever job but I am going after good opportunities that come my way. The difference is I'm not waiting until the job gets close to the end date. I started looking for more secure work pretty much immediately. That's a good thing. Also, once this assignment ends, I'll put myself back in the HR company quene for the next assignment. The point of all this I don't like being treated like some helpless female who needs a strong male to rescue her. Anyway, if I do decide to move, it'll be on my terms and when I'm ready. The BIL thought I could live comfortably in someone's back house. What an idiot. I'm starting to think that maybe it's time to take another break from the family.
