So the fella would become long distance, and considering we are not yet in a "relationship" the distance dating may be challenging. But as you know, government isnt speedy-- so even if I got one of the jobs, it could be a while.<br /><br />Miles: Glad someone else has that problem (the neck thing AND the anxiety). Granite makes me so happy tho. How cool that his trainer/BO emails to keep me updated when she knows I am stuck at the office or at the HORRIBLE second job.<br /><br />Wolfie: I do need to put out my feelers for a barn job. I just have had a few negative experiences where the pay hashes out to like 5 bucks an hour to work like a slave... But at least it would be with horses! So, pros and cons there.<br /><br />Tangerine: Welcome! and I totally love your blog. Will be following more regularly (especially when my life slows down--if ever). Thanks for your advice. Attitude really is everything and after reading your comment this morning, I've been trying to pep up and psych myself up to get through today!

I must admit that I'm a tad jealous that he takes everything in stride so fast, what a good boy! I guess that's what I get for getting a TB though right? <br /><br />About the job, I know it sucks, but is there any way you can psych yourself up about it? When I get stuck doing particularly unpleasant things I always end up having to put forth my 'personal best' - trying to do it super well because I know I can. Then I'm proud of myself at the end of the day rather than frazzled and grumpy. Just an idea :]Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187657771572918754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-40703393073138380062010-06-07T22:48:15.945-04:002010-06-07T22:48:15.945-04:00Money might be good with two jobs, but if your hea...Money might be good with two jobs, but if your health is suffering it's not worth it! You probably have a network of contacts, even through riding and 4H, that you can tap into to help find a full time job that will allow you to have balance in your life. I have my fingers crossed that your job situation works out for you and allows you to spend more time riding beautiful Granite!Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-85424197944922128242010-06-07T22:06:30.450-04:002010-06-07T22:06:30.450-04:00Ugh, Miles does that weird neck thing to the right...Ugh, Miles does that weird neck thing to the right as well. Drives me bonkers:)<br />So sorry about your job. There really is nothing worse than a job that causes that kind of anxiety, especially b/c we spend so many hours there! I hope you either find something else soon, or the job gets less stressful for you. Anxiety sucks-I know.<br />Congrats on your awesome gray pony though...he sounds like a gem!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-85130230808214824262010-06-07T21:53:01.363-04:002010-06-07T21:53:01.363-04:00I think a new full time job would totally be worth...I think a new full time job would totally be worth it. Life is too short to be miserable in a job. And if you don't have to relocate, wouldnt the "fella" still be around??<br /><br />Sad to hear Eva doesn't know if she is gonna continue her blog, I was enjoying reading it and Reno is so stinkin cute!! sad day :(Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984295912656964300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-87112068813548979912010-06-07T21:12:25.905-04:002010-06-07T21:12:25.905-04:00Try some carrot stretches in both directions - tha...Try some carrot stretches in both directions - that will help with his bad side - good motivation to stretch out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-31689343033469794622010-06-07T16:22:52.814-04:002010-06-07T16:22:52.814-04:00Thanks for the inspiration.

But I forgot how much waiting tables truly messes with my emotional well being. the horribleness extends too far past the walls of the establishment.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558668876103778821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-8640016462388921112010-06-07T16:20:46.564-04:002010-06-07T16:20:46.564-04:00Seriously, get a different job.

See if you can get a part time barn job (I know they're hard to come by), bookstores, filing - - - anything is better than waiting tabels, I think. Sorry it's so sucky!!JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876732061083507317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-62278423596946656002010-06-07T16:19:23.406-04:002010-06-07T16:19:23.406-04:00I think I'm going to have to look for a new fu...I think I'm going to have to look for a new full time job that can support me ultimately. Which kind of sucks with the timing bc I've just started to really get to know this new fella... But thats life.<br /><br />I lost my camera!!! Maybe I should work long enough to afford a new one. Its so crazy bc its very unlike me to loose stuff like that! I barely had it for 2 weeks!<br /><br />Reno is doing really well. Eva doesnt know if she will continue her blog or not (no idea why). But She rode Reno and she was very impressed. He is also cantering now. Shes going to keep him with Becky for another month but has found an awesome little co-op farm with a stall and a dressage arena (mirrors and sound system included) and people our age. So shes pretty excited about that.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558668876103778821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548551790797227801.post-86442194605031222612010-06-07T16:11:06.863-04:002010-06-07T16:11:06.863-04:00Is there anywhere else you can get another job?

We can hear and feel your excitement in your writing too! So fun! Take some videos if you can! We would *love* to see them!<br /><br />p.s. how is Reno doing??Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984295912656964300noreply@blogger.com
