My name is Heather Whitmore and for a while I was climbing and descending the tracks of uncertainty with disdain for my average, unfulfilling every day life....and I don't mean to say that anyone living an average life has any reason to feel lack of fulfillment if they in fact are satisfied and happy, but I have never been average or accepted average.  Many people have found me to be strange and others have thought me to be exceptional....while I have just always felt out of place.  

I tried doing the Monday-Friday grind after marrying and having a child and I actually got a fairly good job that some of my coworkers considered their choice career.  But, I was miserable.  I was not meant for customer service,  collection of monies, and information gathering in a hospital environment.  I was not built to witness death regularly and disregard emotion for the sake of healthcare and expediency.  I hated my job and felt completely trapped because there was no way that I ever could, of my own volition, leave such a good and stable job which provided my daughter and I with amazing insurance, a cheap gym membership, the ability to receive my diabetic medications free-of-charge, etc. 

So, it was a complete surprise, when on January 18th of 2011, I was fired!  At first I cried and argued my case and asked how on earth they could fire me over something so silly(and I guarantee you....the reason was quite silly and unfair)and out-0f-my-control but they told me that they were sorry but there was really no other option......  I guess that my dislike for my job may have been a bit more apparent than I realized.  They sent me off with 2 1/2 weeks of paid leave and wished me well.
