A "progression" if you may, from bad to worst, I am talking about the extra things that make the difference in terms of benefits and the people who manage it. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;First company&amp;nbsp;(circa early 2000s) was by far the best company I have worked with, benefits, people, friends, environment; just don't ask about my last supervisor or you'll only get vitriol out of me, nevertheless I loved the place if only I had more reason to stay or a special something to tie me down.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;Second company&amp;nbsp;had that extra edge, coz it gave me my first love and my first heartbreak and everything in between, not to mention 2 people who actually hated me...I didn't think anyone could hate me at all!&amp;nbsp; But don't ask about the benefits, as for the better part of my stay there, there was none. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;And now? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;Now I think I'm in the worst company ever and I only have myself to blame. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;Yeah yeah, the pay here is more than twice, almost triple actually, of what I got from the second company, but it's a hellhole and that shit-ass placement agency in the Philippines should be burned to the ground!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;Though compared to the general populace, I am better off and still not, because I know I deserve better, and that I have not reached my potential for greatness (yes I am a baby megalomaniac). &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face=Tahoma&gt;I find it hard to love what I am doing or at least be proud of the company I am working for, but I can't!

I was reluctant at first to admit that I truly loved him because I didn't know what it was really like, and I agonized over it for a very loong time... &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;And it was only when I accepted the fact that I did love him that.... I agonized some more!!! hahaha... because I knew from the start he wasn't the one God meant for me...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;And now that I have some answers to the questions... I can say that I hopefully&amp;nbsp;can now go on the road to recovery and wait patiently for the one that God meant for me all along...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;A stillness and peace in my heart, knowing that I loved you even if you loved me not...And yet I loved you still, but God is with me and He made my heart understand...that without you I wouldn't know love firsthand...That thru all those heartaches, He was there for me and He knew it was for my maturity...So thank you for letting me love you even though I was weird and crazy, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Rockwell&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://enidine.xanga.com/683493500/an-epiphanyfinally/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
