The Law of attraction.

I have recently read that "thoughts become things". I am focusing on this concept of the basic law of attraction - like attracts like and thoughts become things.

So from now on I am the most gorgeous, sexy, attractive, funny and beautiful person you have ever met and you can't stand to think of your life without me in it.

Fair enough.

Cheating and other atrocities...

Am I a cheater? Am I cheating on my company / boss?

I have an pre-screening interview today with the HR company from my old employer...
and I can't help but compare cheating on one's employer to cheating on one's significant other.

I can't say "partner" - partner makes me want to break out into a square dance a-la highschool gym class. Partner to me means same sex partner, or dance partner...somebody you are forced to hold hands with in elementary school - but their hands are icky and sweaty or you don't like this person......

But I am getting off track.

I am being wooed by another - employer. My previous employer. The employer I "broke up with" after a promotion, transfer and bad experience with a new supervisor at the different location.

But they want me back. Hummmmm..

The thing is - this old employer wants to pay me more $$, give me more vacation time and all the good benefits that go with this employer......

I need to sneak out of here shortly and take their call.... isn't this just like sneaking out on your signicant other to take a call from another?

I really think that you have a relationship with your job. A relationship with your boss / HR department and others you work with. When you choose to leave their employment for another position elsewhere, it is really like ending a relationship.

Now, Layoffs, well that is a completely different animal alltogether. I have been broken up with by an employer, only to have them call me back under contract - isn't that like breaking up with somebody, figuring out that you miss them and can't go on without them, but only wanting them "on the side" with a break up date already set - while you are dating the new somebody you met just before they left?

How about the interview? It is like going out and meeting somebody new and making a decision if you want to date them? I have dated an employer, gone for "lunch" and thougth everything went well...and never got the call back thenext day.

Well, I am off to cheat - and see what the potential new suiter has to offer.


Sincerely,
The cheater.
