I'm glad you quit and got away from that boss but had to face other workplace no-no's. So happy John came into your life and you found a loving environment in which you could flourish and discover the goodness of God. He is the best.

Love that he contributed to making your dream come true, and now I'm wondering if it had to do with your current place of employment ... or with that sweet baby and husband? Thanks for your encouragement to keep writing as I often question if what I write has value.

I loved this one...just loved it! I star...Oh Julie! I loved this one...just loved it! I started working right out of high school and I was 17 years and 2 months old. I could type (poorly) take shorthand (fair) understood the principles of bookkeeping and had to take the bus wherever I went to seek a job. Needless to say, prospective employers took one look at me and said, "thanks a lot, but no thanks!" I did eventually get a series of low-paying jobs, one of which was working as the assistant to the children's wear buyer at Lieberg's Department Store, which has now gone out of business. (ha ha ha!) This woman, who had to have been 50 or more (ancient in my eyes) and I shared a horrible little office with children's clothing hanging all over the place overhead. She expected me to learn how to keep up with inventory, apparently by osmosis, as I got no training from her and her ultimate insult to me was, "You are so stupid you'll never get a man!" I quit five minutes before she fired me. Lots of jobs with sexual harassment on a level that's beyond belief. But I got older, got better, went to work at the aerospace company where I met my adorable husband and only quit when we got married and I became the mom to his precious children, 12, 7, 4. God, my real Boss, has been beyond good to me and I, too, had to learn that He is good. Just plain good. Not out to get me, but loves me and hears our prayers. I have discovered my true talents: I'm a good writer, very organized, and am a happy woman in the life God had planned for me all along. Yep, my real Boss is my Heavenly Father.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660073808569129665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691597512382545379.post-81474343678321224092016-10-14T08:46:47.105-07:002016-10-14T08:46:47.105-07:00Hi Julie,
Thanks for sharing about your bosses - ...Hi Julie,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing about your bosses - it's the worst when you have a boss who seems hell bent on making your life miserable. It's amazing when you have a boss that helps develop you and invests in you. <br /><br />I had a great boss at my last job. He really allowed me the space to be who I am and gave me the room to dream and then make those dreams come true!<br /><br />I love how you tied it in at the end to the ultimate boss! I hope your health is faring well!<br /><br />Keep writing!Rachelhttp://fishfoodbook.comnoreply@blogger.com
