Ima come to NOLA and find you to go drink beer. All I need to do is walk around the Quarter asking "where's that dancer-looking dude named Guido?" I mean, what could possibly go wrong???
On a personal note, yesterday I was offered and accepted a new job with a home health company as their area sales rep. When they told me my salary/commission package, I almost fell over. 20K+ more than I'm making now. It's a very positive move, since I have no love lost at all for my current employer. I'll miss my coworkers, the facility staff and my patients, but it's time for a change. 18 years as a therapist is long enough.
My goal now is to try not to be a dick as I write up my letter of resignation.
Its been a true season of change. 22-year marriage-kaput, 14-year-old car-kaput, job-kaput. In a manner of speaking, both the car and the marriage had been in the bonus round for several years. My ex and I get along better living in separate houses and neither of us is inclined toward another relationship. I've got a new (used) car that brings back some of the driving experience lost in a Prius. The job change really needed to happen, so good riddance to my soon-to-be ex-employer.
I've documented here on SR some of my recent struggles, but this really feels like a pivotal moment. There is always reason for optimism. Sometimes we have to be patient as it comes to us, or dig a bit deeper to find it.
Apologies for the longish post. Great thread btw.
