I Quit

There are some days at your job where, inevitably, you would like to say those two words. Perhaps you are looking to achieve sanity again, or perhaps you love your job but it's just a bit stressful, or perhaps you are looking to grow in your career and the only way to do that is to move on. Whatever my reason, I did say those two words yesterday to my current employer. Actually, I probably said 'here is my two week notice', which was followed by a buyout offer, which I readily accepted. (I am not starting my new position though since I had a family vacation planned and it would be hard to start one week, take one week off and then start again...)

So today I sit here at the library writing this little entry to let all my friends know that I have moved on and taken the next career step. I know that my blog has lacked that personal touch recently, and mostly it is because I have been searching for the right position for TWO AND A HALF months. I definitely knew what I wanted to pursue, and I was a close second on two positions previously. However, the position that I have found plays to my strengths and definitely will help me gain further skills in my career path, I am so excited - but I will not tell you where it is. (but if you call me I will oblige)

To all out there who are looking, or may be looking in the future, please remember it takes time to get the job you may really want. And it is very disappointing in the meantime, like when you lose jobs you think you really really want... eventually you'll get something you really really want with extra nice people thrown in. (or at least I did, haha!)
