The plan will take longer than the four years he has. Some people may be expecting miracles and that won't happen.

Realistically, if he does some serious work on the whole border/illegal immigrants coming in, that would be a win.

If he does something about the economy and runaway pricing, that would be a win.

If he does something about the horrible spending the government does that will have us bankrupt, that would be a win.

If he can remove us from the path of having our 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments corrupted beyond repair, that would be a win.

If he can end the war in the Ukraine, find peace in the middle east and stop the free flow of money to every mother's son, that would be a win.

If he can reduce the absolute glut of greed and incompetence that is now our government and all of its many, many agencies, that would be a win.

Woke will make us broke in every way. Our economy, our spirit, our will, our future. If he can course correct even half of it, that would be a win.

An entire generation, the generation that controls the farther future, has been raised on points of Democrat rule for the last 32 years, except the 4 Trump was president the first time. You may say the Bushes were Republicans. They acted like Democrats and have a well known connection to Barrack "Barry" Obama. The Bushes are from the same group of policy makers as the Clinton's, Obama's, and Biden.

The public isn't stupid either, as a whole. We aren't going to see a thousand points of light each day Trump is in the White House. We will see a group who will try to course correct this country so we continue to have a country.

It's not time to add more water to the soup. It's time to start a new batch and use some fresh ingredients this time.

Ever heard of “short-timer’s disease”?  It’s the malady that strikes anyone who is, for lack of a better phrase... on their way out.  It generally shows up right after one makes the decision to leave.  A job, a relationship, anything that is unhealthy and toxic.

Since I am complete crap at relationships, this one is about the job.  Which, in a way IS my relationship.  How sad that appears as I type it.  Nonetheless, I have reached the point where I know I am coming to the end.  I have reached that point-of-no return and my attitude is starting to shift.

I am one that will obsess over details about things that have happened at work. “Did I send that email... did I respond to that meeting request... are they gonna know I ducked out early...”  all those types of things.

The beauty about arriving at an end date in your mind is that all of that stuff takes on waaaay less importance.  Yes, you need to still show up and handle things, but I find that it all feels a bit less... dire.  All of a sudden, I am almost completely un-invested in the future of my job.  I feel much less threatened by events that occur; they no longer have teeth.  Not happy with my response? Tough shit.  I’m not gonna be here.

Now, the challenge... at leas for me, with this kind of attitude is that you don’t want to turn into a dick... as evidenced by the end of my last paragraph.  As I am faced with the fallout from countless bad decisions... reductions in staffing and resources... as I see those around me scramble to make lemonade out of these bitter lemons, I am reminded that I probably don’t need to stress out anymore.  I have as much told my Boss that I no longer want to be a part of this off-off-off-off Broadway production that is my job.  (I can talk to him that way because he is miserable, too.)  I still smile, I still assist and attend, I still contribute.  But, it is now with the knowledge that I don’t think I will be part of the dog and pony show currently setting up their tents in my front yard.  I am breathing just a bit easier.

I will add that throughout this process (fairly recent, this attitude shift of mine) I have had to ask myself if I am repeating old patterns.  “When the going gets tough, Mike evaporates.”  I have to make sure that the end result of all this job nonsense is not some glorious revelation that will ultimately, be worth all the angst once we arrive at the Promised Land.  As we sit back and survey, contented smiles playing across our serene faces... “yeah, it was worth it..”

I’m really sure that won’t be the case.  Like...really sure. 

I will definitely have some take-aways from this last three years and I’m glad for that; you have to get something from each experience and let them inform your next chapter.  It wasn’t all a waste of time.  This job came along when I needed exactly what it had to offer.  Only as I have gained strength have I come to realize that it no longer serves me; the vision that is presented for the organization is not one that I resonate with.  The real beauty is that I have freedom of choice.  I can choose to move on.  I’m sure that will present its own challenges, but one thing is crystal clear:  the fridge magnets and bumper stickers have it right:

You only get the here and now.  Nothing is promised, nothing is guaranteed. This life is too short to waste it by being really unhappy.  Only I can change things.

So, I’m gonna.  I stop short of declaring that I am in complete control of the events that shape my life... what is the saying...?  “if you want to hear The Universe laugh, tell it your plans...”
