Sometimes I can relate
Well, it's almost time...
For me to say good bye to the job I have had for the past 5 years, and embark on a new journey in my working life. Friday will be my last day, and I can't say I am not a bit nervous about leaving my comfort zone, and walking into the unknown. The new job begins on the 7th, and there will be two weeks of training before the real deal begins. Wish me luck!
On a totally unrelated note.....
This was a surreal weekend. Saturday, I ended up sleeping away, which seems to be the new norm as of late. Yesterday, I spent a considerable amount of time online, meeting new people, and having some really good conversations. Last night, decided to head out for a few cocktails. Why did old men keep hitting on me??? I mean OLD!!
Now it's back to the grind, training my job to the people who will be taking on various parts of my responsibilities, which goes to show that I was doing the work of several people, since it will take several people to do my job once I am gone.
But I'm not BITTER!!!!!! LOL

It's truly amazing...
The things you can learn within 6 degrees of separation!
Shall I elaborate?
Perhaps at a future date. I am still processing all of the information.
Idyll hands, and all..............
Question though, does finding out someone goes by various names count as further degrees? For example, would each of Sybil's personalities count as a degree? I guess I answered my own question, it wouldn't be so much a degree, as an orbital flyaround LOL.
Oh the joy of a spiritual epiphany enclosing an addictive explosion of substance use....ooops, I'm starting to give away learned information
I feel naughty!

As it closes so shall another open
Ok, so it has been a few since my last rant. And a lot has happened.
First, I handed in my resignation at the job. No more of the plantation for me!!!!!!!
Second, I have a new, more promising job lined up to begin in August.
Third, I have come to the realization that NO ONE has the power over me to make me question my value or worth.
And lastly, oh yes, the Bitch is BACK!

Sad state of the work environment
It is a sad day when a qualified employee, with 10+ years of experience cannot find a decent paying position in a city the size of Chicago. It seems as if in the Bush era, corporations have figured they can pay slave wages and demand top notch performance.
I have found positions listed as a Manager title, that pay less than my 14 year old sister makes at her part-time summer job.
When are people in this country going to wake the fuck up!

Sometimes words cannot express
A lot has gone down the past few weeks, and quite honestly, I am not quite sure how I am feeling altogether about all of it.
The break up has left me feeling alone. I only fully realized that this week, waking up to an empty bed on my day off. It has been a while since that has happpend, and it really felt shitty.
The job has pushed me to the brink of collapse, especially since my bosses departure, and the redelegation of responsibilities, with no increase whatsoever in pay.
The interview yesterday seemed to go swimmingly, and I should hear something next week about the next step in the interview process.
These all seem like such trivial phrases, that come nowhere near expressing the depth of emotion behind each of them. It is as if I am too emotionally dead to fully say what is in my heart lately. Perhaps that is a good thing, and that I am shielding myself from the true pain I am going through. The downside is, that eventually all of that supressed pain wil have to release itself. Let's just hope I am in a safe place when it happens.....

A new beginning
Well, it is a new month, and time for a new beginning!
I have redoubled my efforts to find a new job, and tomorrow I have an interview from one of the applications I submitteds yesterday, so here's hoping! The commute would be half of my current, and the job sounds exciting and rewarding. Let's all keep out fingers crossed :-)
Last Friday, after the break up, went to a fabulous party. The only way to describe it was "surreal". But it was exceptionally fun, nonetheless, and hopefully can be repeated sometime soon.
Other than that, not too much is new. I will keep you all posted on how the interview goes :-)
