Moving On
Well. I don't understand "me" myself. I have worked hard for this health system and I am to the point that I have reached a level where they trusted me to do this job from home. I should be happy and consider myself very lucky.
I am not and didn't.
I know! What's wrong with me? This is the best thing in the world isn't it? Well, I have explained why on previous post, so I won't rehash again. Just suffice it to say that I feel trapped in my room. I get up, go to my desk, work. Leave and go the the part time job, come back, work some more, then go to sleep. I never leave this room! I'm always here!
I could go back to the office and work, sure. But the reason that working from home was so attractive was because of the office. Posted about that too. (Sorry I'm making you look back. I don't know how to link it! I know, BLOGGER LOSER!).
This year has shown a lot of changes for me. The divorce, my daughter graduating and going to college and working now, my Mom moving out..... After 19 years, I have to be a Mom like everyone else. I have to balance.
So, I am quitting my current job, and taking a new one. The job I currently have, while moderately up there on the food chain, is not very challenging. I have no where to go in this organization, from this position. I'm stalled. I know a lot of people my age would be comfortable with this. This is safe. Easy. Reliable. I work from home, for gosh sakes! But I am too young to be this old. An unhappy mom is not a pleasant one. I am burning only 1 of the 5 brain cells I have to do this work, and I am capable of so much more.
So, I took a leap, and have changed jobs. This new position, while initially not that glamorous, does have room to grow. And I need that now. With this change in my full time job, a change in my part time job has come about too. I will be doing more acct receivable work, and will no longer just be the receptionist. (Though a damn fine one I am!!!).
With all of these changes, will come some sacrifice. I know I probably won't be posting any time soon, again, also, still, and I might not get to all my friends blogs all the time. Stupid computers, stupid internet. I just didn't want to drop off the face of the earth without another warning at least.
I have a lot of work to catch up in the next week an a half, so let me just say that I have enjoyed sharing time with all of you. Thank you for letting me peek into your lives. As the holidays are coming up, well I know that I could say "Happy Holidays", but what I truly want to say is "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." To my Jewish friends, "Happy Hanukkah", and those that believe "Happy Kwanzaa" (is it happy, or merry? Gee, I'm worthless!). What I'm trying to say, is that what ever you believe, I wish you joy, peace, and love.
I'll try to get back when I can.

I feel bad that I haven't stopped by sooner. So I'm getting caught up.
Glad the kids are doing well. I know just what you mean with your youngest boy. Grasshopper is also that kid. He's so bright and artistic it isn't funny (though one time we told him he's artistic and he said "no, I'm autistic!")
Jobs are not about money. It's about enjoying what you do. I took a HUGE (like 25%) pay cut to get into IT. But I really love what I do where I hated my job before. You need a challenge at work, and now you have it. That's a good thing.
I could never work from home. Too many distractions. Plus there's the social interaction. So good luck in the new position. Don't worry if you're not around so much. Stop by when you can. I'll keep my eyes open for you here.
