Yesterday I got up on the wrong side of the bed. I'd been feeling down in the dumps since I quit my job.
At first, I enjoyed advertising. I worked hard and I loved it. Then I changed companies.
My new boss began to drive me up the wall. She was always blowing hot and cold about my project proposals. One minute she was positive. The next minute she wasn't interested. I was on edge all the time. It was time for something new. My heart just wasn't in it anymore. So I quit and applied to work overseas as a volunteer.
After beakfast I went to check the mail. There are a big envelope on the floor. That was a sight for sore eyes! I opened it. I got a job in Africa! I'm going to teach in Africa for two years! Suddenly, I was walking on air!
