You arrive home to your boyfriend and tell him the sad news that you didn't get the raise and promotion you've been working so hard for...
Nah, it's okay. Here, I got it. Yeah, I got him, it's alright.
Yeah, just give me a little kiss. Hey there, baby. So, how was your day? No.
You're kidding. Really? Well, why did they say that? Well, why specifically did they pass you up on the job? They tell you? Yeah? Okay, well then what was it? Uh-huh.
Right, which you've been doing. Which you've been doing. You've been doing all of that.
That's fucking bullshit, is what it is. No, no, no. It's absolute fucking bullshit, sweetheart.
It really is, because you've been doing everything. Absolutely everything perfectly. You've been a perfect.
.. You've been perfect at your job. More than perfect, if that were possible.
And they have the audacity to just. .. Nah, there's some shit going on.
Who got it then? Oh, I'm not gonna like. ..
I'm sure I'm not gonna like it. I already don't like it. Who fucking got it then? You gotta be fucking kidding me.
I know. I know, baby. I know.
I'm sorry. I just. ..
It makes me very fucking irate, okay? Because you deserved it. More than anybody.
You deserved everything about it. And I know you really wanted it, okay? I just get mad for you, right? But here, listen to me.
Come here. Come here. Let me just.
.. Do you want something to drink before. ..
We gotta talk through this, because. .. It makes no sense to me.
Besides, I know that you've been having a hard time trying to make it perfect. So that they would consider you for the job and so that you would get it. And they just overlooked all of your hard work and.
.. It's always fucking. ..
There's always a reason that is completely logical. They did it just because they wanted to, alright? They gave it to fucking.
.. I can't believe they gave it to him. I mean, come on.
They're terrible. They don't even. ..
They showed up late. How many times you told me? Twice.
In what? In one week? Come on, man.
That's just. .. No.
That's absurd. It's completely absurd. Alright, well, just let me get you something to drink.
Alright, baby? What do you want? Whatever you want.
Yeah? Okay. Just sit down for a minute.
There, relax. You just got home from work. Yeah, I already put the groceries.
Let me go get that for you, okay? Just sit down. Alright, here you go, baby.
Come on, here. There, and you know what? I was just thinking.
.. Let me sit right next to you. So, I was thinking.
.. And here's what we're gonna do, alright? You got.
.. You got the job offer from the other place. Yeah, from that place.
And it's basically the same thing. Remember that they told you that they didn't want you? At that particular time, at that particular moment, because you didn't have the experience.
Well, it's been at least, what? A year and a half now? A year and a half.
You're doing the same type of, you know, basically, essentially the same job over here. But I remember that they were gonna pay you more over there, okay? And I know you don't wanna, you know, burn any bridges, but.
.. It's based on you, sweetheart. You know, it's not fair that they overlooked you when you did so much hard work.
You stayed so many extra nights. It's just. ..
It pains me. It really does. Because you deserved it more than anybody in that office.
More than anybody. You deserved it. But listen.
It truly is gonna be okay, alright? You know why? Because right now, right this moment, you had your eyes on this goal.
And you didn't get it, which is fine. It's gonna be okay, because. ..
Check this out. Look at it this way. If your eyes are locked on one thing that you want, you're missing all the other things that are near you.
All the other things that you could have, all the other jobs that. .. could be there, you know? You already had a plan that you wanted, and the plan didn't work out.
So now, it's any plan can work out. Does that make sense, sweetheart? That's what I want you to see.
I want you to have that point of view, because I think it could really help you. Yeah, it could definitely help you. You deserve so much, and if they weren't willing to give you this, you would have been stuck at a place where, you know, they proved, they showed their true colors, if that makes sense.
They really did. Right? I know, baby.
I know. You're right. You're completely right.
I know it sucks in that. .. it was a lot of effort.
But, that doesn't mean that you didn't learn a lot with all this effort you were putting in. I know that you really expanded your sense of knowledge with what you were doing, right? Yeah, and you got so much better at the.
.. Yes, exactly. You got so much better at it.
Yeah. Well, all I'm saying is, whatever else you want to do, I'm with you. I'm here to support you.
I'm here to make sure that, if there's anything you need, anything at all, you've got me, and my help, my time, whatever it is, whatever it takes, for you to get that big promotion, whatever big job you want, I'm here to help you. Always. No matter what.
Yeah. Whatever support you need, whatever thing I could give you, it's yours. That's the point.
Of course, baby. Of course. Come here.
Of course, my love. Absolutely. Never have to doubt that, ever.
You know, I'll tell you what. You want to get absolutely wasted tonight? Yeah? Yes.
We can do whatever you want. Of course. Anything you want to do.
Okay. Well, then what if I start by making us some snacks? How's that? Yeah? Yeah, you can go shower and whatever, and I'll be ready here.
Alright, baby. It's gonna be okay, hey? It's gonna be completely fine, right? Right.
Alright. Go take a shower. I'll be right here.
