You'Re Gonna Miss Me When I'M Gone

all the work i do all the sweat and tears i've shed only to get to this moment of disappointment not in how i do my work, but the people who surround me looking down on me as if i'm worthless I am saddened by the disapproval of my peers this is why i'm going to leave start over in my life branch out and explore my career options so when i'm gone remember all the times you counted on me to come through- and i did now who are you going to count on? is it the people who are all about themselves? their incentive and numbers? are they the ones who are going to go that extra mile to make up for those who slack hide in the isles and talk is it the ones who take longer breaks, because they don't want to be there in the first place, but they want that paycheck or is it the ones who are showed favoritism? can say anything to their peers and get away with everything, because they can do as they please this was never my dream job to begin with it bought my house, paid my bills, but lacks so much more then what i want in life i want to be respected, rely on on people who i can trust not those who sneer behind my back is this a nightmare? for now i'm going to sleep when i wake will it be my reality? is this how life is suppose to be? so remember me when i'm gone as a team player, because there is no I in TEAM and this time around I'll take one for the TEAM!

My heart aches for the person described above. If this, is you, Karen, I hurt for you. A person that goes the extra mile, always picking up the slack, is almost always a person that is too aware to behave in the way the favorites do to get attention and praise. It is sad that such a person has to find the loving spirit inside themselves to find peace. I pray that your heart will draw others like yourself to comfort and encourage you. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt reality. Hugs, Bill

I came home Monday morning and wrote this from the heart. I was upset with the people i work with. I have been doing a lot of thinking about what and where i want to go in life. I have been currently looking at jobs closer to home!- Karen
