Sprony and the Pendulum

Quote from FMPONE

Also this is beginning to resemble office space even more now

They literally mailed me this exactly one minute before the 'meeting'.

Srsly, this is some motivational stuff man! I hope I can face it the same way you are if that ever happens to me. So thanks for the lesson of the day!!

I'm glad it has been of help bro.

Since this has already become quite personal I might as well see it through to the end.

Well, when it rains it pours. On the same day we got a call that my wife's uncle died. Which is a real blow to her and her family (he wasn't sick or anything). Also, she's a Hindu so burial rituals take up a lot of time. Besides that, we knew that she wouldn't get her contract extended but we finally got the official confirmation as well. So all in all, it was quite a blow. Haven't been home for most of the week (taking care of the upcoming burial and stuff). Just got back and since we were in the middle of making room for the baby I returned to a war zone.

All that scheming that you all liked so much, well that didn't turn out great either. One application got shot down Friday. My other plan of returning to my old team isn't possible as well. Long story short, everything is riding on this one application. Going to clean up the mess now, prepare for the burial this Wednesday and wait what kind of news I'll get this week. So I'm currently feeling like this:

But, got lots of stuff going on, nobody is noticing shit and that's because:

Sprony man hows your state of mind right now. We chin up lad???

Last week, up until Wednesday, I was really down. I felt sorry for myself and I drowned in self pity. Didn't do anything and I didn't post online either except for the sympathy post above (which was fitting). Because when you're that depressed, you're even going to take offense if people don't like stuff or if you don't get enough (good) replies. So all in all I was really like:

After all the effort in the world went to waste on scheming sadness turned to this:

I knew I had to sing it out until the burial. Luckily and this sounds so wrong, having an closed casket burial made it far less intense. People were of course emotional but I guess it helps if you don't see the person. The day went by quickly and again it sounds so wrong, it was far easier than initially anticipated. Which made feel really relieved.

This got me out of my depression really quick because that's a dangerous place to be in. Self pity is a killer. I also had a good talk at work, I'm going all in on the only job option that remains. Got a lot of competition though and I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket but unfortunately it's the only basket to put them in. I'm still really positive at work and I grab every opportunity I can to shine. I'm taking charge of others things as well. So I went from depressed to this in a matter of days:

Now all I can do is wait. It will be black or white. If I don't get the job I can still fall back on lesser things, which will offer no security unfortunately. This will put me in spot where I don't want to be. It's not the end of the world and it's something I'll resolve eventually but it would be a huge set back in terms of money and plans. If I do get the job however, I've got it made.

I'll keep you all posted as things progress. Thank you for your interest and continued support guys!

Thanks for the long post, I will remember it the day I get into a similar situation. When I started reading up on this thread two pages I missed until now I thought everything had gone down the drain, but I was all wrong!

you would make Arnie proud!

Thanks man, appreciated!

Stop trying to be HP with your reactiongifs. One HP is bad enough.

That's my sympathy.
