I've been in the same field since I was 21 (36 now) and each come I back I think assume things will get better. The field I work in there is not much room to move and the advancement is level is about a 3...5, if you're lucky or "know people". I've worked in law firms in conjunction with a separate company, so I guess you can say I'm office support. The secretaries act like they're so above us and the lawyers are moody, at best. Just today, one of the secretaries approached me after I spoke to a lawyer and corrected me on how to pronounce his name as if there is really a difference between "Swanson and SwanSEN?" I wanted nothing more than to politely tell her to shove it up her ass and proceed to call it a day, and believe me, they're pettier than that.

It's the point where my work is affecting my attitude and my life. I feel stuck because this is basically the only job experience I have on my resume and I feel like whenever I try to go for something different, no matter how amazing my interview was, I of course am looked over. I'm tired of reading the books and the blogs because it's gets overwhelming.
I dislike my position because it's bad enough I'm struggling to get by with each passing day and with every paycheck. But, I know I must be grateful I have a job to begin with. Times I like this, I wish I had a benefactor......or a fairy godmother.

Does anyone else feel like this? I know I'm not the only one.

15 years???? Wow!! That's Awesome, Bella.

*sky weather alert* ... HUGE BIG EGO CLASHES this week, and for the next couple of weeks... So, Be Prepared. The bitchier pattern will be Friday? (I think.)

When you feel yourself ready to pounce on some ******* ? Press {PAUSE}, AND watch your Life pass before your eyes, beforehand!

Have a good plan before your exit. Mars is still retrograde!

I know what you mean though recently. I've noticed some kinds of people really deciding to stand on their pedestals and get ~snooty. ....... But that's okay, Bella. Affirm to yourself that You are a 'Good-People' type... Who knows what's around the corner.... Maybe a SwanSONG for her too, in months ahead? You just Be the Best you are and Can Be.

The Universe has its way of ~equalizing eventually. Be Kind and Patient (for your SELF!! Lmao!! You deserve a WHOLE Lot of Credit! yay). Have your Shields strong, yet transparent. Keep your inner fortress of Peace and Tranquility and Calm as much as you draw and bring into yourself-- All Calm, IN The Moment.

As far as your interviews? Somehow??? Gotta find a 'fresh vibe' for you to 'dress' in. It might not be that you were long term in only one job. Nah, you were in a good setting (professionals). .... Maybe you'll be able to 'locate' something "within" you that you do/are inhabit... (not just performance-based). It's maybe that unknown-factor that you BRING to the table, that you need to freshly realize and celebrate? ... It'll give you fresh zazz?

Do something ~different in your workspace. ... Whether it's adding something, rearrange, different lighting? Do something that gives Difference and is an energetic booster to you... even a little small plant or ~whatever you find. Let it be something that revives some generating-nuance in you.

Don't let their EGO problems get you down. Stay humble and even as you can. Mostly, Be GOOD to you! YOU Are LOVED!!

Hi Mirage29!

Thank you for your kind message! You wanna know something weird? When I was leaving that day, I looked out the window by the elevators and saw a rainbow? What do you think that means?
