That’s really all i need right now, a good night’s sleep. Twelve hours would be nice.
But there’s a whole day ahead of me yet.
i was at a meeting last night and met someone ~ no, not a Dom someone ~ a woman. She was talking about a venture she’s in charge of, and mentioned a plan to offer therapy for “indigent people.” i don’t much like that phrase, but i liked her ideas.
She was presenting on something else, she just mentioned the counseling thing briefly, almost parenthetically. Maybe that’s why it didn’t click with me til i was driving home.
You know, i’m looking for a way out of my current job. Not looking real hard, not looking desperately, but thinking i’d like to move away from working for a large organization. To not put my energy into preaching the party line about what services we provide and how we provide them.
Ok, i don’t try real hard to do that, but i’m kinda s’posed to. And i do put energy into trying to bridge the chasm between what i think would be ideal and what the agency can support.
Anyhow, i was driving home and wishing the meeting hadn’t lasted so long, idly thinking about the speaker’s mention of this counseling venture. i was feeling a little ~ wistful, maybe. Thinking, gee, that’s really not too far off from my own fantasy idea. Thinking how cool it could be…
And it hit me ~~~~
~~~~ i need to call her.
i have no idea what stage of planning they’re in, but it’s early. And really, i need to connect with her. Now.
So i’ll call her.
Today.
And hope that i don’t get any jail runs tonight, so i can go to sleep at my real bedtime.
calling her sounds like a really good idea aisha, life changes on a phone call.

Yes. Thanks for the support. You know, there was a time in my life that I would have been afraid to, would have totally second-guessed myself, talked myself right out of it. But that’s not even a possibility today.
more hugs,

Aisha,
I know that work is not our whole life – not even the largest part of our life – but it is very much nicer to get some fulfillment from it. If you like, or are fulfilled by your profession, but the specific environment negates that – then taking a leap makes perfect sense. I hope it leads somewhere good for you.
@Gg,
Thanks for the good wishes. You’re right of course, fulfilling work is wonderful, and I can’t really complain about mine because it’s often satisfying. But I think there are different things I need to be doing at some point, and this could lead to some things. Anyhow. Thanks again.
hugs,
aisha
Reading this at almost midnight – too busy to read this morning. So… did you call?
@Sin,
I actually e-mailed her instead of calling – which turned out to be a good thing, cause I would not have had a chance to talk to her yesterday at all. I haven’t heard back though ~which is probably also a good thing, cause I wouldn’t have had time to talk ~ but if I don’t hear back by next Tuesday, I’ll call her.
I won’t say keep your fingers crossed, cause that’s a long time to keep ’em crossed, but if you think about it, send some positive energy this way.
Thanks!
aisha
