This morning I had what feels like the wind knocked out of me.
Anyone following Budget 2012 saw that there was going to be {{{{{*****HUGE*****}}}}} budget cuts and loss of jobs in the public service.
This morning I had an interview and I was told that until they figure out how the budget will impact them, transfers were on hold.
WHAM! BHAM! Thank YOU MAM! Bend over and take it like a ?? What exactly? A good egg I suppose.
So I can’t help but feel that my shell is cracking ever so slightly and I am in need of some TLC (totally luscious crap) . I decide to go for a walk to clear the egg whites in the noggin and as I walk along I see a store and I immediately think (chocolate and lots of it! or cake! or anything high in sugar and will get me buzzing forgetting – screw the resolve I need some comfort!)
So I shush that little brat about to throw a tantrum (in my mind of course) and cross the street all the while talking myself off that sugar ledge. I got back to my office, made myself a tea and then ate some of my No Egg Cup For You Layered Broccoli Casserole and then I felt much better…
So, isn’t it interesting the brains need for comfort and what it grabs on to for soothing?
Ugh. I’m sorry it was so rotten today. But I do applaud you for not letting the brain brat take over! She can be a rotten little girl sometimes, and just to hear her shut up we give in to what she wants. Very amazing that you didn’t!! I’m also glad to hear that your healthy food satisfied what you truly were needing. Did you see Hungry for Change? They talk about stress and such and how we need certain things at certain times especially fat and that generally comes in the form of a milkshake or cheese burger. Happy Friday! Hope you have an amazing weekend
Yes I watched Hungry for Change. And the fact that I was able to not give in is still surreal to me right now. And I think that eating something that was protein and fat based that was healthy helped a lot, it was all the comfort I needed after all.
Well at least by the sounds of it you still have your job… right? That calls for a heavenly omelette I’d say!! Plus you didn’t let “me” down… you didn’t cave on your sugar cravings, and I don’t know where my “gold star’s” are but you deserve a handful for that!!
Kudo’s my friend… there’s light at the end of the tunnel!!
The thought that I would have to break the challenge did run through my mind and gave me just a little enough of a reality check that I was able to walk to the other side of the road.
Why did eggkins cross the road? To get another day of success, lol!
Sorry your day wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. I hope you hear some good news soon … the job hunt sucks.
I’m not hunting, I was up for a transfer… it sucks an egg!
