Yeah, but it doesn't matter which window or how dirty the one your lookng
out of is, the "grass always looks greener on the other side". ( as much as
I hat cliches). I know, bin there, done that, go tthe T-shirt, soldit when
times were hard...How 'bout simply re-evaluating the situation.as I think
someone herer already commented on, ... and then make a decision.. do I stay
? Is the money ok to go with the security? Yes, I stay and get on with it.
. NO, time to go "shopping".. Getting mad is a waste of a valuable and too
often now, short, commodity. ALWAYS be evaluating the situation and
circumstances, then you won't get hit in the head with a cattle prod. LIve
more by principles and use decision making. BUT.. when you make one, stick
with it, or you'll end up letting yourself down.. and there is no worse
person to be let down by, than yourself.
