Times are tough and we have all acknowledged this. A lot of people I work with are struggling with their lives because of the economy. Even the really good looking and talented dancers that I know.
Here's the thing: I've always been pretty decent at managing my finances. So, even when I go through a shit streak, I stash $$ away and spend less, until something I am totally passionate about comes up.
My long term guy has a business that is doing well. We live in a nice neighborhood, but live simply.
(I'm getting off topic). So, the thing I'm passionate about is snowboarding and I have made a bunch of 4 day trips this season. I also go to Vegas once a month (my man's main office is there) to see my parents. He gets some small perks through his company like: free drinks, club entrance, restaurants,et. Mostly, mid-level places, which is fine.
These things make me really happy. Especially the snow trips. I rock as snowboarder. I just want to burst out and talk about my trips to everyone.
But knowing a lot of my fellow co-workers are struggling, I feel like I might come off as gloating or bragging about my life style, instead of jabbering w/ exitement, which is the case.
Should I continue to be low key and keep my mouth shut? Is it not a good thing to be happy and passionate at work?
(sorry so long, but thoughts would be greatly appreciated).
P.S.S. I have also befriended a co-worker, a struggling dancer/actress. I've taken her to see some shows and have paid for drinks and took her to the snow and paid for her boot rentals and gas. Sometimes she seems to snap at me. Am I actually making her feel bad?)
