End of the Second Week

Everyone is gone.

They are at lunch.

The quiet allows me to think of where I am. I'm back at an old position. The difference is "clout". I have been given higher responsibility and projects that are more demanding. This is good for me as I enjoy a good challenge.

I have been here for about 2 weeks now and I'm actually enjoying being back. I didn't know if I would...

Time to think on things outside of work.

Like the wonderview of the green wold outside my window.
I am glad they put me on the top floor near the windows. I look out and watch the clouds and se for miles. Other than a few tops of houses only the many water towers give reference to distance.

This is a joy/perk to working here. I don't mind the aggrevations that come up when I can take a breath of stale air and look upon the land that has not been "developed" and de-natured.

I know that when the storms come thorough this is the best view.

Starting tomorrow I know that I will be busy. School starts up again and I'm working more than full time and going to school full time. This is going to be fun.

I guess I'm going to add my school to the list of links. Take a look at it if you wish. Great program, insane price. I guess at schools some times you get what you pay for and right now I am saying that this is worth every penny.

Closing shop

Have you ever had a day that you were dreading? Then that day comes and nothing happens?

Well this is not one of those days.

I've recently gone back to school to improve my base skills. I have a final today. There is a lot riding on it and I don't feel prepared (not like this hasn't happened before). On top of this, I learned that I was not chosen for the job that I had been hoping for.

Also, as I'm leaving this position to go onto another, I feel that it is a bittersweet parting from this position. I have gotten to know a number of people here and most have treated me well.

I know people where I am going and that will be good, but having to leave one to go to another is never fun unless you really don't like the place you are leaving.

I'm a little sad, but looking forward to the change at the same time.

Transitions

Moving from one job, dwelling, or city to another is never easy.
Within the next 3 weeks I'm planning on doing all of the above.

I have moved 7 times in the last 4 years. This is more than one should. I have never been kicked out of a place, but left for one reason or another (usually a job) that has led me to make sure that my furniture was light.

Some of you may understand this, but when you have heavy furniture and you have help moving and they ask if you are on the ground floor...

There are more positive points this time.

  • better pay
  • closer to home (less time on the road and less petrol!)
  • better work atmosphere
These make one happier to make transitions.
