I can just tell you it was the hardest lesson to learn--make people earn your trust. <br /><br />And I am so glad you've joined the writing groups!! It is so much fun and I do love reading your posts!!

Once you do though, you never make the same mistakes again. I would say trusting God is a good course of action. Unfortunately mere mortals are imperfect and tend to let one down entirely to much. <br /><br />Kathy<br />http://www.thetruckerswife.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619147101584456392.post-50430970404637903682011-08-16T20:55:38.442-07:002011-08-16T20:55:38.442-07:00In the 36th year of my career, I was working one m...In the 36th year of my career, I was working one more year as a favor to my employer. My manager left. Because I did the same work for another state agency for several years, they wanted me to fill her shoes, but I said "no thanks because I'm retiring in one year." I COULD have been selfish and took the money, then left them high and dry in one year, but I am much more considerate than that. So, a new supervisor was hired. She knew very little about a function that I could do in my sleep. I could have helped her, BUT suddenly, I was stupid. I had committed to one year, so I wouldn't let my employer down. Plus, I was socking away my whole pay at that time and living quite comfortably off of one of my retirement checks. It was to my benefit to keep working for a few more months, but that woman would not leave me alone. Finally, I told her that if she came in my office one more time about crap she didn't know anything about, I was going to quit because I didn't have to work. She just couldn't help herself...4 days later, she gave me some crap and I put a letter of resignation in her basket withing 15 minutes of the incident. Management tried to get me to stay, but I told them what she did. hahaha...guess who got a reprimand? She hated me for the rest of the time I worked and I gave 1 month notice so that I would be a reminder to her for 30 days. LOL... My coworkers who had to work cheered me on for doing the exact thing that they couldn't do b/c they needed their own job. Now, I have danced all the way around the comment I intended to make and it is this. That supv who gave me so much trouble asked me to share links to all my resources before I left. I promptly went to my office and deleted everything except basic info. She's so smart...let her find it! That was 3 years ago and I have not regretted my actions for one minute because after her reprimand, my co-workers were no longer harassed. That made it all worthwhile. Sorry for such a long comment, but I do enjoy recalling putting her in her place on my way out the door for retirement. hee heeDarlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619147101584456392.post-75756325078844316512011-08-16T14:19:45.577-07:002011-08-16T14:19:45.577-07:00I used to do the same thing Susan.

In reality, though, I came to find that I didn't think I was personally worthy - so, by helping others I was attempting to become worthy. Boy, was I wrong! :)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562106255730313674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619147101584456392.post-80313262895334515652011-08-16T10:55:46.479-07:002011-08-16T10:55:46.479-07:00I love reading your work also and I feel like you ...I love reading your work also and I feel like you speak for many of us.
