I saw this poorly worded and misspelled meme on Instagram and it reminded me of my life less than a year ago.
\n\"bathroom\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My stomach was constantly in knots like clockwork, every night at 4 a.m. just two hours before my incomplete newscast. Not to mention, my gastrointestinal system was programmed to erupt by this hour due to my poor eating. Sorry for the additional information, but working 3rd shift can do a number on your body. I was on the verge of pure burnout mode and ready to walk away from it all. My nightly restroom visits provided an opportunity to escape from responsibility, increase procrastination and a direct release from bothersome colleagues. Just like the meme, I too contemplated resigning from my job to pursue senseless ambitions that would cast inevitable shame on my family.<\/p>\n

Then I realized, I was okay with just getting by and allowed another year and a half of bathroom pity and long talks with Jesus about where my life was headed slip by. As I wrote in a blog earlier this month<\/a>, it was that final trip to the restroom and moments of being fed up that I realized I deserved better. My bathroom prayer was answered.<\/p>\n

Over the years at various jobs, I’ve encountered other colleagues in tears during their bathroom break on the verge of a mental breakdown because the job had gotten the best of them. Sexist managers, low pay, no lunch break (don’t get me started), terrible benefits and all-around bad treatment from the “powers that be” eventually gets old.<\/p>\n

I jokingly posted the aforementioned meme on Facebook and clearly the company bathroom does have some sort of healing powers.<\/h3>\n
