Don't give me lines
If House can do an American accent... you certainly can do a Southern drool.  BTW, I don't think I will need your egg tossing services any more...I've heard the artist will cease and desist the exposition of Castro's bust (not as in boobies) in Central Park.  How dry I am, Rob... darn!  How can people be so ugly?         Mel

Scarlett.. you mean "I'll never go hungry again!!!!" ... I don't have a dress!!! It's been a long time since I've seen Gone with the Wind and I'm not sure if I can manage that cute southern accent.

There's nothing that others can do LLM.. its a matter of me working my way forward towards what I really want.

Rob, I agree with you...

you have a lot to offer!  Pull a Scarlett O'Hara.. and worry about it tomorrow, meaning: next year.  Detach and enjoy your trip to fullest - through the holidays... Each growing pain leads you closer to what you're looking for. 

Remember, you have a mission, don't forget the eggs when you visit Central Park.     Melody

It's a pendulum, in many ways
our existence, the rhythms of it, the ups and downs. The universe spins as it will, and eventually our period of crashing up against frustration and doubt will move into a more tranquil, self-assured time. Good work is always waiting. I find myself taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, breathing in the peace and safety, breathing out the angst and stress.  Enjoy the vacation. :)

Rob,

I wish there were something I could do for you.  I think you're absolutely right...You seriously need to move on and find some other kind of work. 

I'm glad you're able to cry when the need comes.  Never be ashamed of that ability.  Release and let go so you can be whole again.

I'm also glad you have some friends at work you can share your feelings with.  It's important to have others to talk to.  Please know that those of us who read you are willing to listen, also.

For the time being, just try to focus on yourself.  Let yourself float away somewhere...America or anywhere else you wish to be.

America is waiting for you.  She will welcome you with open arms.  When you go back home, remind yourself of the days you spent with her.

Sorry if this sounds like mush...I know a bit of what you're going through from personal experience.  Not because of a job, but other things.  I hope my words will be of some comfort to you.

Just keep yourself well, mate.  Don't let all this work stuff bugger you down.  If you feel like venting some more, I'll keep listening.  I hope that helps.

If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Take care, Rob.
