Friday Five: Feeling verse

This week's Friday Five:

1. When did you take the road less traveled? December 2019, when I quit my full-time job at MAC. I had good pay, good benefits, and excellent RRSP contributions. And because I was hitting my 10 year mark, I also would've gotten 4 weeks of paid vacation. But I was MISERABLE AF. Management was awful, goals were unrealistic, the makeup industry is having a steady decline (in sales, in ideas, in originality, in artistry — you name it), customers are assholes, and retail is terrible in general. My mental health couldn't take it anymore, and it's a huge reason why I ended up having to take medication for high blood pressure. So I quit, despite having a lot to lose. Which has lead me to where I am now, and — knock on wood — I am a lot happier for it.
   
   
2. When have you told the truth but told it slant? When I call in sick to work. Like, when I'm not feeling that well, but I could have gone in to office. I tell an embellished truth. 
   
   
3. When did you most recently strike out? Last week, when I went to check my lottery tickets and DIDN'T WIN. Imagine that.
   
   
4. In what way is today like a summer's day? It was actually sunny today! (Nevermind that it was -10℃ with harsh, bitterly cold winds. THE SUN WAS OUT.)
   
   
5. Where do you go to find yourself? In my bed, or maybe the shower. Those are the places that I do the most contemplation. I am definitely not one of those people who need to go to a forest or a lake or a mountain or a beach (or anything nature-related, really) to think or relax or have an epiphany.
