My girlfriend.

She is going through a terrible time with work right now. She is in between positions, and feels like her current boss is trying to push her out early before the other position is available so he can get the new person in trained. She also has a co-worker who is extremely emotionally abusive and it's becoming too much. She also commutes 2 hours each way for work everyday which doesn't
make it easier on her. She has an amazing opportunity that she has worked so hard for down the pipeline and she is hanging on by her fingernails to get there. Two years of school, 3.9 GPA, honors graduate, she deserves this! She broke out in hives yesterday due to the stress so she went to the doctor. Her blood pressure is through the roof and she is exhausted. Doctor recommended she take 2 weeks off for stress and blood pressure, but she is only taking one day off (of course, I am going to work on her staying home the rest of the week).

I know if this position that she deserves so bad doesnt come through, she will be fine. She is the most amazing person I have ever met. I was helping her with her resume yesterday and smiled thinking of what an amazing life she has led. She was in a band with a recording contract, produced by Rikki Rocket of Poison, private investigator, payroll supervisor of a huge bank, manager of home depot (of course, lol), 3D animation artist for video games, movies and television where she won an Emmy (yeah!), and now works with lawyers at a huge medical facility in LA negotiating clinical trials with physicians who want to get drugs on the market. She is a jack of all trades. She is amazing!

And she did all this and never graduated high school, dropping out in the 10th grade. Her mom was sick and she had to work to support them. She recieved her GED 10 years ago, at the age of 38.


She doesn't need to worry because she will be successful in wherever the future takes her. She always is. <3
