For as long as I can remember, friends and family have called me Suzy Sunshine because of my positive attitude. However, life has been a challenge, lately, and that is putting it mildly. The project that I have been working on for the past two years is fast coming to a close, and once it is done, I’m without a job. It’s a scary prospect. Of course, I should have seen it coming. I should have seen it coming when they insisted I participate in the project, even though I really didn’t want to. It was only for a month – and I can do anything for a month. When a month had stretched into nine months, and every time I tried to broach the subject of returning to my old position I was told, “That’s what you get for being good at what you do,” I should have seen it coming. Now, my old position is gone, and none of the other positions I’ve interviewed for has been a good fit. What a way to learn the truth – no good deed goes unpunished.
