Gotta Find Something Better (repost from Tribe.net)

Hello folks.

It's Tuesday morning and this is the second day in a row that I've called in sick to work. I'm actually not feeling well, but it's not medical - it's emotional. I hate my job. I really hate it. And what's more is that I find that I like hating it. The negativity fuels that hatred and it just continues to grow and grow. The cycle must come to an end.

I had decided that I would make it to the end of May at the current job and then quit. That would mean that I had fulfilled one of my New Year resolutions - to not be working at my current job by the time I turn 50. I reach that milestone in early June. But I don't think I can make it, folks. I have to find something different and I need to find it fast.

The major issues I have are 1) Health Care - I live in Missouri and the options for someone with a chronic disease without insurance are few and not particularly encouraging. 2) I owe lots of money, mostly due to the fact that my current insurance doesn't cover all my medications, so I've put them on credit cards and I don't currently make enough money to pay them off. Out of pocket I spent over $2500 last year on medication. And then there are the hospital and physician costs that insurance doesn't cover. 3) General expenses - I have over $1250 a month in just general expenses. That' not counting food and clothing. Just rent, car payment, insurance and general bills.

Soooo...I need to find a way to make money, be happy and move forward with my life. Any suggestions?

Think good thoughts.....
