Neverending Test

Ok, I admit. I'm getting tired. Tired of how everything seems to be a neverending test. Always having to prove yourself. If you're dedicated, and it's obvious, why is your dedication constantly tested. And if you're intelligent and hardworking...why are you consistenly forced to jump through an ever-increasing number of hoops? Is it spite? Or boredom? Or a rite of passage? Why can't someone believe that you are capable and trustworthy and take that at face value? Or am I just a cockeyed sarcastic optimist? Ha :)

Adding you to Google reader so it will send me your new posts automatically. So, I'll be checking!

You know what's funny? I've gotten more trust and fewer hoops since I stopped trying so hard. I mean, I have my reasons for backing off on the whole climb-the-ladder initiative (and you know them) and I'm not suggesting that's a solution for anyone. I just find it ironic.

Now, whether said freedom is from all the hard work I put in previously or that my supreme lack of caring is interpreted as confidence. Not sure.

But I'm with you, sister--constant hoop jumping sucks!

Hi Stace -- thanks for the response. The flip side of my post is that I am supremely grateful for all that I do have. I love it. And in the end, everything is always ok! :)
