I’ve encountered a bit of a personal dilemma. I was told on Monday that they think I won’t go back to work this year most likely. I will admit that I am disappointed in hearing that because I feel as if this is caused by the fact that one night my boss confessed a thousand and one feelings to me by text when he was in a state of drunkenness. Maybe I’m wrong but it just feels like to much of a coincidence that i responded the next day with “are you okay?” instead of a long talk about drunken state text. Anyhow, a couple of hours later I happen to get a call from a recruiter offering me an interview for the same pay but way less work. I am a big believer of all things happen for a reason but is this a sign for me to move on and out of the situation with a boss that has a crush on me?
Meanwhile in the rest of this so called quarantined life we live at this moment I have a child who is locked up with me everyday all day and I think this is starting to take a toll on us. I am a sarcastic person by nature but I also know that my sarcasm can be out of line at times and when I do overstep people’s boundaries and offend them with my words I apologize. Issue is now my young teen son is catching up with the family sarcasm but is not using it without seeming like a smart butt. It’s more on the irritating side and he doesn’t seem to know when to stop with the smart remarks so I have been a tad on the perturbed side most of the day for the last couple weeks. Is this the new norm now that this pandemic has created for people and what we are suppose to accept and deal with? Should I feel guilty that this is my own child and I feel this way most of the time now? The way I deal with it is I warn him to stop and then I just sit back and allow him to talk to him by me not giving a reaction. Doing it has led to apologizes to me but what is apologizes if the behavior restarts after a couple days of laying low? Let’s see what the next few weeks holds in store for this family though I must say that I am praying for all this to smooth itself out unless anyone else can give some helpful suggestions my way.
