Despite having Chiari 1, which is a constant thought throughout my day I am blessed. Yes there are the speech issues which make me sound like I'm eighty instead of 35, yes there are the ever intense headaches, yes there are the balance issues (thats new) and the endless list of other symptoms. Still I have many things in my life to be grateful for, my husband who always supports me, my children who make laugh and smile every day and friends that really "get" me.
I love my job. No I'm not saying that in hopes of a promotion and not because my boss might read this blog. But somehow I ended up with a job I really love. I work at a Childrens ' Resale Consignment shop. Not exactly what some would consider a career of a lifetime but it is a fantastic job.
If you've ever met me in person you'd know I love to talk, and I always have something to say. So working with the public is always a plus for me. I like people (for the most part), the lady who never smiles and the guy who stares at the wall wishing he was anywhere else just make me want to work harder to make them smile. I have four children so of course I love seeing all the kids clothes, toys etc. that come in.
But, the greatest satisfaction is from helping people. I love helping people find that perfect outfit, the great deal on a baby bed or answering questions about pregnancy that for some reason seem easier to ask a stranger. I couldn't be happier if I were an Astronaut.
The cherry on top well there's about five. I adore my boss, she is truly a great human being . She is a lot like me she likes helping people and is generally in a fantastic mood. I can take my children to work with me anytime I want, and the clothing perks have made this year much easier.
Of course there are the downsides, screaming children, running children, clothes I wouldn't let my dog wear and people you can never make happy. But it's well worth it from my end. ;)
