Last night, I held a HUGE event at my store. Like, we did $2K in sales in an HOUR kind of event. It was insane, and chaotic, and amazing.
My FFFC is that now I am completely reevaluating my plan of getting out of this kind of industry. The rush I felt, and the "high" I got from it...it was just amazing. I thrive under that kind of pressure. For the first time in months, I felt like I was exactly where I needed to be, doing exactly what I was made to do.
So now, my plan of going back to school, or getting a "normal" job at a desk is seeming like the worst idea ever. If it didn't mean working nights, I'd totally look into becoming the GM of a restaurant or something.

Kind of a heavy FFFC but that's what I got.
There are lots of jobs where you can get that high. I get it at my day job all.the.time. Only you know if you should stay in your industry or try something new -- but know that you might be able to find that euphoric feeling doing anything.
I was eating oatmeal at my desk and dropped a big clump on my keyboard. I thought I had done a decent job cleaning it up but apprarently some got stuck under my N and B keys. I just got out of a meeting and noticed our system is stuck in a "churn". I decided its a good time to switch keyboards because oatmeal turns into glue when it dries.
I am irrationally bothered by it when MIL cuts DS's or DD's fingernails when she has them. To me, it's like a passive aggressive "you're not doing well enough taking care of my grandchildren" kind of thing. I am sure that's not how she means it at all, but I can't help but feel that way every single time.
umm... I intentionally do not leave the sound on my monitor now. She will fuss in her sleep and it wakes me up, and I go check but she usually has found her paci and is settled by the time I walk next door. If she's really upset I hear her and go get her (her room is right across the hall) but having the sound off allows me to sleep through all those phantom wakings. I vote no mom guilt needed!
i turn on the Disney Channel and put LO in the walker in the morning and let him loose in the kitchen/living room so i can catch up on FB, instagram and the bump boards. and have my coffee in peace.

I do this every morning, except exersaucer. And Bravo.

I know that you've thought about going into counseling, and let me tell you, those moments definitely happen in my line of work! We have big events, multi-family groups, trainings... all those things require the same skills that you've honed where you are now, while getting to be fulfilling in another way entirely, too.

I heart Bravo.. all the shows.
All is right. I'll watch anything if it's on Bravo.
Now I'm feeling kind of like I posted "wtf is ISIS" and "I'll watch all the Bravo" in the same week and you guise will judge me.

I do this every morning too X_X flame away, that time is my happy sanity saving time.
I have afternoon sanity time too. Thank you, Jumperoo.
First off, thanks to everyone who assured me I can get this feeling doing other things!! It's definitely true. I'll find my niche somewhere, I'm sure of it.
@avswolf - helllll to the no!! I want zero part of owning any kind of business like this. Or really any business, for that matter. The thought of having my own money tied up like that scares me to death.
What I love (and hate?) is that I have full control, but zero financial repercussions if things go south, money wise. I also like (at dislike, at times) not having management breathing down my neck. I have such little accountability that it's almost funny. I'm going to be shell shocked when I get into a new job where I actually report to a boss consistently.
@broccolisgirl i wanted to do that! but then chickened out! did you know that Mickey Mouse is the most written in ballot during elections? lol i found that fact to be AWESOME
FFFC: I am making lasagna roll ups for dinner tonight. I used ground turkey and zucchini in it... And have no plans to tell DH.
He still may not eat it.

I get stupid happy when someone goes through and binge-pins one of my Pinterest boards. I feel like I made their life a little better somehow.
