So this is not meant to be a “woe is me” story but shows how under appreciated I am. We had a door decorating contest for Halloween. My team and I went all out. Here is my office door
Disregard the eye killing yellow walls. 3D printed Pennywise face and hands. Real balloons. LED lights.
All hand made, hand painted.
But it’s me so I didn’t win nor did I get honorable mention or anything.
This is third place. Not terrible, I mean not great either but at least it was hand made.
This is second place. Like WTF is that?
And first place
A dollar tree paper skeleton and they didn’t take the window clings off the backing plastic. Just taped them up.
Problem with working with people and people’s problems is you get burned out on dealing with people’s problems. It’s called empathetic burn out. On top of that I am taking care of the house and kids while my wife is taking radiation. Helping my mom out on a house remodel because her hot water heater leaked all under the floors taking out her kitchen, master bath, and two hall ways. Plus have a mother in law that needs help with transitioning from being a wife and care giver to being by herself now that my wife’s father has passed. I don’t ask for much, they reward me with extra cases and work for doing a good job, but shit… the people who do nothing get all the rewards and accolades to the point that I put a ton of effort into my freaking door at work and didn’t even get honorable mention.
But at least I have all you guys. You are truly great people. I mean it. If not for my family and my extended Chu family, I might have lost it a long time ago.
