As we have already established, I am a sucker for quotations. There is a quote to go along with anything you are experiencing, and I know at least 1 for almost anything. Here are just a couple that have stuck out in my mind lately.
"There is no honor among thieves."
These words were said to me by my boss a week or so ago when another coworker was trying to get in on one of my deals. I have not been able to get them out of my head since. I have been so miserable in this job for most of my employment here, and maybe this is why. I am not a thief, I do not practice dirty business. That being said, how can I in good conscience keep working here? If I am to make a decent living, which it is hard for me to do while other sales people are honing in on my deals, am I going to have to start doing my job the same way that everyone else in the office does? I WILL NOT compromise my beliefs, ethics, and morals and stoop to an all time low of thieving deals out from underneath other sales people.
"Good things happen to those who wait."
Wouldn't you just love to slap the person who said that!?!? I started thinking about this quote while I was busy working on our house. I was looking around and thinking of how we had been looking for a house for SO long and just were not having any luck. Then along came the most wonderful realtor in the workd, Karen, and Max and Bonnie and BAM! we've got a house, and it only took us 2 years of searching! Well, then last night Jake popped the question, well sort of. He asked me if I wanted to get married and then said it was "an option". Are you kidding me? Well, if that didn't make me feel like I really mean that much to him! We have been together for quite some time now and I can't help but wonder when we will actually take the plunge. I look at it like this: we have been together for a long time, we have been living together for a long time, we just bought a house together, we have joint bank accounts, we have a dog together, we are already basically married, so why is he so afraid to actually do it? I have waited, long enough I think, so why aren't good things happening?
Well folks, I suppose I have bored you all with my random bitchings enough for today. Until tomorrow...
