Just recently I had a talk with myself. I told myself that being a diabetic is a/my full-time job. That is how I choose to look at it sometimes.

I have been employed, if you will, for the last 15 years. During that time, I have worked tirelessly, around the clock, 24 hours a day at this job. I have held and will continue to hold the highest management position. I am THE OWNER OF THIS COMPANY. My management of this business/disease is a direct reflection of every business decision that I make. I take risks. I carefully plan and organize my days. I get mad at my only employee, me. This is a sole-proprietorship. And if you were to ask me how business is. I would say, "pretty darn good" considering what the pay is! I invest all that I have into this job, literally. EVERY SINGLE OUNCE OF ME. I exhaust many resources. I use get-rich quick schemes to try and cut corners to better health and success with this "diabetes job". And I continually try to stay away from and ahead of my biggest competitor, "Complications 'R' Us".

Some days you just have to look at it this way. Some days you don't want to get up and go in to work. But with this job, the moment you start slacking, your business/life can go down the drain. The boss really comes down on you hard and times it gets very tough but you can't back down. I have a lot invested in this company. So I guess at this very moment I am working three different jobs. I have my job with dLife as a blogger, my full-time job as a personal trainer, and then I have my most important full-time job as owner and operator of juvenile diabetes incorporated.
