It also reveals, again, only my opinion, the Christian silver-lining of the cloud - namely that you are in a bad situation for a PURPOSE -as opposed to being there when you are supposed to be somewhere else.<br /><br />Someone recently told me that saying of "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan." I agree that often we are too focused on "our wills" and not on God's. But I also know that God honors those who are "good stewards" of their skills, talents, and mental health. <br /><br />Seek another job, I'd say. In the meantime, while you are there, take the puffypantpeople advice and keep praying for your coworkers.<br /><br />And pray for puffypantsers, too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440172.post-2909140218442301722007-01-20T00:49:00.000-08:002007-01-20T00:49:00.000-08:00I think you need to quit the temp job from hell an...I think you need to quit the temp job from hell and that these photo illustrations with Basil are the cutest ever.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553146944257631478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440172.post-63331070801803857862007-01-19T11:14:00.000-08:002007-01-19T11:14:00.000-08:00I think the Great Entity does give us messages lou...I think the Great Entity does give us messages loudly and clearly.... say, when we are miserable, the Creator give us the urge to protect and honor ourselves and remove ourselves from an abusive and shitty situation.<br /><br />LEAVE.<br />THE.<br />JOB.<br /><br />Mr. Purple Puffy Pants and Wife may have the best of Christian intent in their words.... but remember, the road to hell is paved with those things. <br /><br /><br />(and as someone who as worked for production companies during award shows.... i understand the 14+ hour days, the hyperventilating and dry heaves and all such icky stuff.

I think you need to listen to your heart because that's where God lives. So pray for strength to leave gracefully, pray for your poor co-workers stuck there and then get the HELL out! God will provide you with whatever is supposed to be next, that's His job. So many people do seem to think that miserable=doing God's work. My God doesn't want me miserable and I don't want to know your God if yours does! Look forward to Friday and celebrate when you're done!abyMidlife Virginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404403892615141410noreply@blogger.com
