Transparent Dangling Carrots

Even when things are in the shitter, knowing there is nothing to be done about a situation can bring a sense of peace. Well, maybe not peace but certainly a resigned kind of acceptance. You've done all you can, and some things are just beyond a person's control.

There have been many important issues outside of our realm of control over the past few months. We've done our best to suck it up and let events unfold as they may. Until two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, we thought there may be a break in Hubbie's job situation. A ray of light. A possibility of a possibility. We waited. And we waited. Did I mention that we waited?

We've not heard a peep about anything. The possibility of a possibility may be out there, but we have exhausted our resources in any covert attempts at sussing out details. I've come to realize the past few days that when things are status quo, it is much easier to accept that plate of shit with a knife, fork and napkin. Thank you very much, will there be anything else, ma'am?

Having caught a whiff of that fresh scent of freedom has thrown me off my game. My emotions are in a tailspin, and quite frankly I feel crabby and bitchy about the whole situation. I don't do well with dangling carrots. Either give it to me or shove it up your ass.
