Journey & Adventure

Sorry I don’t have anything entertaining to write about these days.   What can I say?   My new co-workers are boring.   Nice people, just not the firecrackers and nut jobs I’m used to working with. I do have some news on the old job front.    Keep in mind that I left the old job at the beginning of November; however my replacement was not scheduled to start until January 3rd.   Apparently she wanted to take an extended vacation or whatever before starting. Anyhow, by January 7, she had quit.   No one knows why.    He’s an easy guy to work for, so it’s my belief that she intended to quit before she even started.   She likely got a “we’ll give you anything to stay offer” from her old place of employment. Anyhooo, being the kind person I am and not wanting to rub salt into his wounds right away, I waited until this past Monday and then I sent him an e-mail disguised “Happy New.   How are things?”    Well, to say that...

So, as I mentioned earlier this week – I quit my job.  I didn’t hate my job - it was okay as far as jobs went.    I decided to leave because boredom got the better of me.  My days were not remotely close to being filled and 98% of the time, I read e-books or surfed the internet – for 8 hours a day!  I’m sure it sounds like a dream job to some, but it wasn’t for me.  After 2 years or mind-numbing boredom, my mind was slowly turning to mush.  I like to challenge others and be challenged and this place wasn’t fulfilling any of those requirements. This new opportunity was literally in the works for a long time.  My path crossed with an old acquaintance about 4 years ago.  I was looking for something new, but he wasn’t looking to hire.  Then, he was looking to hire, but I wasn’t looking to move.  It’s been back and forth, back and forth.  I’d actually written the opportunity off and was moving on when I got another call...

My mind is mush today… I was off on Friday to prepare for the Rum Punch Party Version 2.0. The weekend, including the aforementioned party was fantastic – great fun, great food and great friends.  Although being the hostess, I didn’t really get to socialize much since I was too busy making sure everyone else was having a good time, had drinks and had plenty to eat.  What can I say, I’m a nurturer… If you are a long time follower, you may recall about a year ago, I received a call from an old acquaintance who inquired about me joining his legal team.  If you are a new follower, you can read about it here . Anyhow, I met with him a couple of times and then things fell by the wayside.  The opportunity was put on hold, which I wasn’t concerned because I wasn’t actively seeking anything out, so I didn’t follow up with him.  Fast forward to a year later (almost to the day)…. I get in to work this morning and ...
