Negative Effects; Jealousy

Tuesday, JL, my very best friend. She is practically my sister from another mother and our friendships stays strong after almost 15 years, told me she had got a job as a mental health tech.

I was happy she got the job, but it was out ruled by a dictator of jealousy. I barely feel that envious spirit within me, and it was strong after receiving the news.

My first thoughts:

This is one of the main reasons why I had moved down here to California. To eventually work in a mental health facility doing what ever it is I can do there--seeing that it's a mental facility I would think there would be some qualifications for people before they can enter into such a work environment.

My friend is doing something I had been longing to do and without any specific certification that permits her to work there, she goes in with complete NO EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for her mother-in-law and sister working their she probably wouldn't have gotten that job, and sadly, I would have been a little relieved if she didn't get the job.

This unwelcome visitor stayed a little longer than I like, and after making his entrance known, I began to reassure myself why this needed to happen for her--I just wished I was more enthused when I had received this news in the first place.

Her husband just got out of the hospital for Diverticular disease. She had told me that he quit his job the next day and that she was going to be the money maker--switching roles she said. So, she needed a job.

She told me that she starts off at $10 on-call and only gets paid monthly, but hopes she can save enough money to move out of the place she's currently in; which I don't blame her because it is a state funded apartment complex and a lot of teenage mothers live there--to say the least.

I know now that this did need to happen to her because of her kids and I hope she can get those kids out of an environment like that.

I am ashamed that I had this feeling towards someone who I call my sister.
