I remember in my early days at Manpower I'd ask people if they wanted the lie or the truth when they asked me how I was doing. Or in response to how do you like it here, I'd say give me 6 months to feel it out.
These were not glib responses. I'd calculated to that people didn't always care. I wanted to make sure what I was saying was true even if the reality of the place was not. These answeres were about time and expectations as I perceived them...
Fam how you doin?
Whats your truth today?
Who do you love, are you for sure?
I am doing ok. I have a position I have been in a month now. I like the place, people but am .. as always waiting for the shoe to drop.. however it is noteworthy that I can say honestly without 6 months in how I feel about the place. Also that after talking to my wife, my love.. I realize that I haven't been all there and I need to either slow down, step away or just accept help sometimes. Shrug, if it's known the I can prepare and right now I am trying to prepare and work it out. We have been together for 14 years... it blows my mind that someone would want to be with me for so long. I am not gonna sell myself short, I am a good man . but sometimes I don't deserve her (read this as a 2-way street). We still in this together tho and the truth: I ain't leaving and she ain't either .. Still I am reminded, if ever the thought of leaving came up, of this one song verse:
I think of saving myself, but with nothing to complain about up in heaven,
what will I do I think of saving myself, but I really want to work it out down here in hell with you
what will I do I think of saving myself, but I really want to work it out down here in hell with you
-Van Hunt Down Here in Hell (with you)
She being her, our shared and seperate struggles and pains, an demanded hug, some in the morning coffee, a meal when I come home, forehead kisses and laughs make it worth it.
So that's the job, the love and so far at home I got spring cleaning and to get some sleep. (I can't wait for insurance to get this CPAP working again). That's my truth today, my love and my surety.
Tis Humpday fam. We gotta take what we get, context it and realize its only a piece of the puzzle. All in all we can get through and our weekend is coming. The time off, unplug, stepback reality scan show will be there and we've got front row seats. Don't let it get to you before you run out like kids at the school house this Friday. Our anniversary trip is coming, I ain't trying to have nothing bring me down. it may.. it could.. but I am looking like it won't.
If you see the camel, I got 3 words for you. Stone Cold Stunner .. and yell as he is down for the count. Mike knows his name! .
Peace
-Cope
