The Man Has Got Me Down!

I apologize to the males within the community, but I am going to vent a little. So, if you are sensitive to the glass ceiling issue, please stop reading now.

Today is another day that I feel like the "man is trying to keep me down".

I hope there are some people out there that can relate to my problem today. Promises were made, and then things change and those promises fly out the window. I don't ask for much at my full-time job, but when I do I expect my request to be granted. When it isn't, I get more and more frustrated with my situation.

Don't get me wrong, I like my job, but there are times when I wish I could walk away from it. I am the go-to person in the office, every day, I get something new tossed my way to handle because they aren't sure how to take care of it. So where is the appreciation?

The glass ceiling in the construction business is very apparent, they may play it off as something else, but let me tell you, it's still a problem in this century.

I am thankful that I have a place to vent my frustrations. WA has given me so much. On days like this I am even more determined to reach my goals with affiliate marketing and website creation. Someday, when they push me too far, I will have the ability to actually walk away and be fine financially.

So, thank you for letting me vent. I will have the opportunity to get away from "the man" someday, but for now, I will keep truckin' and keep my head held high knowing that I am doing something to improve my life.

Here's to a better tomorrow!

Many Thanks~

Lindsey
