sh1njuk1 Another on-point divination - I mean, perhaps I should just take it as a given at this point? Perhaps, but then again, I am still in the learning phase, so I guess I'll keep stating the obvious for a bit longer...
I had focus and clarity today - not at my peak capacity, not by any means, but the intense emotions receded like the tide and let my mind work again. It also helped that I spent today giving my body exactly what it wanted, which first and foremost was a 3-hour nap first thing in the morning (AMAZING). I didn't have enough energy to go to the gym, but hopefully soon :)
My Situation card seems to have been related to the nice long period in the afternoon where I stitched the collar of my Druid robe (belatedly) and watched at least an hour of DVD content on English cathedrals. York is a beautiful place that God is clearly angry at (the cathedral has burned catastrophically three (!) times in the last 200 years, including in 1984 from lightning). Canterbury seems to have had less divine anger in modern times - I wonder if Saint Thomas is keeping an eye on things down there?
Finally, I got a call from the HR person at Avery Denison saying that... everything was fine! They were still going forward with the offer, and so long as I wore a mask constantly while inside the office and sat a certain distance away from all the other employees, there would be no problem! And as soon as I got the vaccine and submitted them the paperwork proving I had done so, then we could wrap all those requirements up!!
Heh... the good thing about going through every single possibility in your head before taking an action, is that you're not as surprised by the outcome (usually). I have imagined those exact conditions already, and decided that I can handle them. The only thing that would be unbearable is if my new coworkers considered me to have betrayed them. And, now that I've disclosed, there ought to be several chances yet to come for the offer to be derailed if that's the honest opinion of the workers... Avery Denison does seem to be respectful of its employees overall. I'd be fine if that happened, as well.
I could hold off and look for a remote job to avoid all this shit - but honestly I detest remote work more than I can say (or write). Even as the member of the office with a "kick-me" sign on their back (figuratively... I hope) I will be able to take a nice walk through the city every day and night, and to see other people's faces and hear them talking, at least. It'll be like being in a Japanese office with a cold... forever! And let's not forget the offhand comment about how companies are now keeping people's personal medical information on hand... lol. Sooner or later an excuse will be found to get rid of me. But before then? I can make money and save it - the pay is solidly middle-class, they have cheap medical insurance, and I just might make it all the way to getting to use the paid maternity leave... before they figure out how to knife me from behind. I went through this with my last baby, so I already understand what to expect. It's the American dream! I've made it!! Ha ha ha...
Today in annals of "things I never thought I would say and truly mean": I eagerly look forward to being forced to become a stay-at-home mom. Can't come soon enough!
Just as the Outcome card said, though, I also feel that I have put down the burden. I've done my due diligence, per the insane rules of modern society as I best understand them. Now... it's time to let them figure out their own path forward, and to live less stressfully.
And on that note, let's get the divination for tomorrow done.
Me: Jack of Hearts - Thoughts coming to the surface, contemplation
Situation: 2 of Clubs - A Passionate Conversation, A Debate
Outcome: 2 of Hearts (Temperance) REVERSED - "Reversed, in the Outcome position, Temperance shows that the matter at hand will create continued frustration because there are elements involved so diverse, so fundamentally at odds with each other that they cannot be blended into a new whole. Vacillation, going back and forth on a matter are also indicated."
Well... this is just great, as a prediction for the day the offer will probably come :/ I almost feel like I can't bear it anymore but... this is a clear sign that all the drama is not yet over. We've got at least one more day for me to stay on my toes. Well... so be it. For tonight, I am headed to bed.
