My Brain May Explode This Week
Blogging may be the only way I stay sane this week. Three major things have or are about to happen.
1. Quit job
2. Started new job (actually went back to old job)
3. Moving
All three of these things have or are about to go down within a week! Crazy!
Now the details:
1. Quitting job was great, sad, empowering, tiring and over and done with. I left a great group of people behind with a now so great boss. The rest will leave in time. It really is just a matter of time. People cannot be overworked, underpaid and managed inappropriately for very long. Well, some longer than others. The key to that is autonomy- I didn’t have any. So, I
2. Stated a new job (actually went back to old job) where I have more autonomy than I know what to do with. But it didn’t come without a price. My office is a mess and maybe at some point in this lifetime I will get it to where I want it to be. My computer screen is small- I mean really small- especially coming from 2 large 15+ inch monitors. What else, oh, you know that 2 week introductly period you usually get when you start a new job, the time you get to fuck around with you computer settings, poke through files, have long coffee breaks while getting to know your coworkers . . . well, going back to an old job does not allow for that. So, I am already buying media, answering phones, setting up meetings, conducting meetings, etc. And to top it off I’m
3. Moving! Colin and I have to get all our stuff out of our place by tomorrow at 4pm and get it all moved into a new place by the 1st! Luckily, or maybe not, Colin is off the rest of the week so he can play slave boy. But you know how women can be, control freaks! But, it all goes well I will have my new place ready for the weekend and might even have a slumber party or two before next week!
So, in retrospect, things are great. Stressful, but great! I get a new place to call home- the first place I think Colin and I can honestly call home. A true sanctuary that brings both of us closer together by granting us more space. I get to start a new/old job that brings me joy! I have missed all me peeps so much! And, I am getting the autonomy and respect I deserve. And, I left a toxic work place in the dust. I have come to realize in the past couple weeks that I can control a great many things in my life and make things right for me and mine by taking risks, sticking to my guns and believing in myself. However, I couldn’t do any of it with out the love and support from my friends and family. Gosh, it really does take a village.
Now if only I could kick these allergy headaches. I will save that for next week when enough things are off my plate that I can dope myself out with Benadryl.
