don't hold your breath!
It's been a week!
I got the shot
It knocked me on my ass
I got a job offer
It got rescinded
It knocked me on my ass
I got the same job offer again
It got rescinded
It knocked me on my ass again
"Ass"-inine I know.
Long story short, the automated system kept rejecting me because it got super confused between my names: Deborah & Debbie. Sooo... I got the same job offer again.
The system got sorted & it worked. I start my new job at Walmart.com ( yes, I used to work there) on May 5th.
I went through the roller coaster of emotions while this was happening and one thing that helped ( when I remembered to do it) was to breathe.
And, that's one of the topics that Jamie the Great and I discuss in our latest episode of Talking Smack 415. We chat with special guest Stephanie Mccollur. Stephanie teaches online guided wellness: NeuroVascular Release (Artery/Nerve tension to muscle), Manual Lymph Drainage Care, Breath Work, Yoga, and she's a licensed massage therapist. We talk smack about waitressing, meditation, neuroscience, aliens, and everything in between. Inspired by qs from our audience, we do breathing exercises together for stress reduction. So make sure you pull over or jump off the Peloton when we get to that part. And, if you have shoulder arthritis make sure you listen through to the end of this episode because you'll learn a new yoga modification called armpits of power.
