I am in a strange state as of late. I just took a deep dicking at work and for the first time in ten years it has me considering a career change. I will most likely get over it but the scar is going to be a constant reminder. Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice, well, I'm not going to give you that chance. I can't in good conscience give you any details as that would be unprofessional but I can boil it down to a human being problem and a misperception of how the real world works. People don't quit companies, they quit leaders.
But enough of my first world whining about not liking my full time job where I love everyone I work with and for - save one. I am at my final day of official work for 2021. I have PTO to use or lose and I have chosen to use. Tomorrow I will be headed back to Illinois to see family and friends for a week or so. Then I'll head back here to run around town and start my new living situation search. I want to change neighborhoods and there are some exciting possibilities when I start looking in the new year.
This is also the flipside to my work annoyance. I am tied to almost nothing in this town save the job. So if I find something else, there are other parts of the country I would love to try living in. I like the thought of that on a lot of levels. I love going home because my friends and family are there but other than that the Midwest is losing its charm.
I will try to post over vacation but I’m making no promises. I’ve over-scheduled myself in an effort to see as many people I care about as possible. being busy keeps the snakes in my head at bay. Once I get back up north the real head games will begin. Trouble began last year on my birthday so I’m trying to play a little defense. I’m even considering a New Years Eve date. (That was tough to type) We’ll see…
