With the new year comes changes. A lot of people make new years resolutions...I don't. I just have pretty much the same goals year after year---survive!! OK, I have more than that but they are pretty much the same. Does that mean I will never get it right? Do I need to rethink how I think? Do I need to change my goals? Or do I just think to much? (my guess is the last one)I did a LOT of changing in 2010. I started a job after being a stay-at-home mom for a long time. That was a BIG change for me and a tough one. I have no regrets taking that job since it taught me so much about myself and helped me to see a few things more clearly.
Today I turned in my 2 week notice to resign from my current job. It was not easy but it was something I needed to do. I was very thankful to my manager for taking a chance with me and she was very understanding. I told her I believe it was a God thing that I got the job and that I had learned so much. She agreed which was nice to hear.
Twelve hour days were just not a good fit for me and that is hard. It makes me feel old and I am not. When I told my manager that she said they lose a lot of people due to 12 hour days. I have to say if you work 12 hour days then you know what I mean...they feel more like 20 hour days.
So what is next you may ask (or maybe you don't really want to know but you have read this far and figure you might as well keep going). I am starting a new job next week. Two days a week. No weekends or holidays. No 12 hour days. Same 2 days every week so it will make it easier to plan. I am very excited and a little nervous but more excited. Plus it is closer to home. I still have one more day to work at my other job and that is next week also. It will be a busy week.
(except for the cold I have)
I hope your 2011 is off to a GREAT start!!
