Uncertainties

I feel like my life is full of uncertainties. Sure, we can't be 100% certain of what paths our lives will take, but the uncertainties are what make life interesting.

Case in point: receiving a text from new ex, stating that he feels like we made the right decision in not dating anymore, followed by another text stating he felt that the decision may have been a wrong one since we didn't give things enough time.

What did I say? Nothing. Nada. Zip. I kept my fingers from replying with a text, except to ask for my cd back.

In other areas of life, I feel like there are uncertainties with my happiness in my job. I wear a lot of hats. I do a lot of "extra" things, but it's primarily because I love what I do and I want others to take notice of those extra things. I know it won't earn me a raise or promotion, but it earns me small accolades with my superiors. One of my hats is in question, but only for me. I am the representative for a group of people who look to me to get items settled when members of the group are upset. This cuts down on the amount of people going to the boss and allows me to be a middleman of sorts. Well, I feel like I'm backed into a corner and I'm not sure how to get out of it without expressing some items to my boss that aren't appropriate. I know it isn't my place to express how people really feel, but it is my job to find a way to express it without losing my job or making the matter worse for all involved.

I'm in a pickle.

Thank goodness for long weekends and smoothies.
