My old job gave every new employee a sock monkey. It was their unofficial mascot. Since I left, Mine has been staring at me from our most inhabited room in the apartment. I haven't known what to do about it. I didn't want to get rid of him because I had some good memories, but then again, every time I looked at him, I was a bit saddened. He brought back some fond memories of the gang I got to hang out with every day which was always followed by the one memory of being laid off. Soon, I'd walk into the room, see him, and instantly become jaded, angry or sad.
I've been blessed to have such a great freelance job for over a month now, and in light of being surrounded by so many creative people, an idea came to me. As soon as it popped in my head, I called my Jim to tell him.
After getting home, I instantly ran to the hobby lobby and bought brown fur fabric. Last night, I began to transform my sock monkey into a sock Bigfoot.
Today when I came home and saw him mid transformation, I didn't feel angry or sad. I was happy! I was excited to know that I'd have a little Momo looking out for me. I'm looking forward to change.
