#funemployment

you know, i will never say I am not grateful for something, seeing as i learn a lot from all types of situations - the ones that suck, like my cousin dying at age 13, the ones that are amazing, like marrying the man of my dreams or moving to oahu.

lets talk about funemployment.

so.  this, for me, means i am between jobs and utilizing my vacation time to get a break between jobs.  i don't know that my previous company would like me announcing that, but hey.  i agreed to stay an extra MONTH to help my boss out (nope, nothing about how they cannot live without me or need me to stay.  she was going on vacation and there was no one to cover).  so for that, i negotiated my last few days vacation at the end of those thirty days.

this decision to leave my company was not made lightly, and really, probably is a bit rash and foolish. we do not have a lot of savings, we have credit card debt, and rent on oahu is three times our mortgage payment in arizona.  a gallon of milk, yes, is $6 for the cheap stuff.  so smart? no.  necessary?  yes.  then...when i put in my notice, they didn't even say thank you for the year i have worked my butt off.  guess i have to manage my expectations a bit better...

i am going to open a practice, i said.

i am going to change the world, i said.

then?  boom.  job opportunity out of nowhere.  i mean NOWHERE.  they came after me and talked about how much they have heard about me and i'm a good fit and would i please consider it.  so i did.  and i am.  and then the woman making the decision went on vacation for five days prior to an official offer.

whoa.  FUNEMPLOYMENT.  here i come!  everyone should follow their dreams...everyone should take a risk. never know what lurks on the other side...
