Time for a recap of stage 5...
A lot of the "caged animal" syndrome from mid stage 3 up to the end of stage 4 vanished once I got into stage 5. One thing that I'm catching myself doing is getting into more conversations with people, like yesterday at the clubhouse... I got to know one of the assistant managers.
The hallmark of stage 5 is more of a "laid back" feeling. I was rather edgy during stage 4 not to mention very moody. While I had some moodiness with 5, it wasn't like it was with stage 4.
I'm also pushing myself a little more to talk to others, whether its online or in real life.
I'm more apt to speak my mind now than I used to. More work needs to be done in this area, however. It's rather funny because I was at a coworker's party last Saturday and one pointed out that he liked my honesty, so there you go.
Another thing that is surfacing is the job that I'm doing is becoming thoroughly unsatisfying to me. I know I deserve better. However, I'll try to make the best out of the current situation and just hang in there.
I start stage 6 tonight once I get in from work.
