i always come full circle
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Sometimes I need to keep a low profile. Disappear for awhile, collect my thoughts. Get my focus on.
In November, I realized what a horrible mistake I had made when the two job choices were displayed before me this summer. Not to mention that I had accepted the first one and then declined it when the second one came through. And seriously, in retrospect, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was thinking money I guess instead of opportunity and the path to lead me to more money.
Anyways, instead of crying about it and whining about it, like my normal M.O., I dug my heels in and started looking for another job. Updated teh resume, posted it on the job boards, blah, blah blah. What sucked even more was the dire straits fo the economy. Which was scary, but technology jobs don’t seem to have been hit as hard as others.
So as I slacked off even more at the job I was in because I couldn’t stand it and in my mind I was already gone, an amazing opportunity presented itself to me. I’m here to say, I HAVE NEW JOB!!! That I’m so excited about. It’s in my hood people. That means I only have to drive 15 minutes to get to work. No more standing at the bus stop freezing my ass off. No more driving an hour to get to work. No more traffic headache. I’m close to home, so if I need anything I’m sure I can always zip home on my lunch break.
My new job is much like the job I was let go from (downsizing and whatnot) only I’ll get to play with Linux again, haven’t done that since school, kinda geeked about it. And I’ll also be doing some light programming. I need to refresh myself in that aspect but it’s kind of exciting. Oh and the new palce offered me more money too. I was just looking for the same. Can’t beat that.
Once again, I am starting over but that seems to be the theme of my life. But each time I start over, I look back and realize just how far I’ve come. Realize how each ending relationship/situation was just a stepping stone to where I am now. It’s pretty awesome when I think about it.
Anyways, I start Monday, didn’t want to say anything until I receive dmy employee materials in the mail, lest it was just an illusion or something because I totally lucked out with this one.
I’ll get my career back on track and then I can work on my deviant sex life again.
Good times.
