As you know I am back at work and my silver lining luck is holding out.
What is silver lining luck you say? Sounds good does it not?
Silver lining luck is bad luck with a silver lining. Bad luck that could have been worst but was saved from the worst scenario by a smidgen.
Last time I had to file my EI report for my last week of EI, I had to call then because I declared that I had returned to work the second week of my report. It took a few days to reach them so my half payment was delayed by a few days.
Last week I found out that my paycheck would be delayed (or reduced?) as I had an over-payment of vacation.
I have no money and bad things happen but it could be a lot worst. For example, I have food to feed us, I have a roof over our head and during the worst of the deep freeze we were warm. I also have a car that works, has good tires and gas in it. Now I am scared that insurance will not cover me as I probably screwed up the phone interview but at least my part-time pays as much as full EI. It would be nice to have more as my bills are more and the cost of going to work (gas\parking) is putting a further strain on my budget, it could definitely be worst.
Another new thing that is happening is that I have started group therapy for social phobia. It's too early to tell if it will work yet but we seem to have a good group. By their reaction to some things I can tell we have a lot in common. By the end of the first session, their was already some small bit of bonding going on (that's pretty good for people dealing with social anxiety disorder). I did sign a confidentiality agreement so there is a lot that I can't share, but I can admit to being in a group. I have hopes that this group will help with my discomfort around people. It may not cure the revulsion part. (Natural part of a person who doesn't like people over much working in client service for too many years.)
On a side note, it's almost tax time. I hate doing my taxes but I LOVE getting refunds. I hope I will get a refund again this year, it will help a lot.
Well that's it for now, thanks for reading!
SSSSSHHHHIIIIITTTTT! By being so positive here I tempted fate didn't I? Silver lining luck keeps happening.
