I have had this blog for a few years now and it went from being my personal blog to my hobby/portfolio for work. If I were to go back and read some of the older posts about my 'job' it will most likely not be good. The one good thing I can say is that my fellow coworkers are the ones I will miss, I had been working for this company for just shy of ten years. People have come and gone but I've ended up many friends for life through this company. If you haven't picked up on it yet, I have quit.
I quit for many reasons and it is a great thing that I can close this chapter in my life but still there is that cold, bone crushing fear of what now?
Keeping my head up high and brush the dust off my resume. I am very thankful for my husband, family and friends. They understand why this was needed and why I feel the conflicted emotions that I have. I do believe one friend put it best "its like getting out of an abusive relationship, you think you've done something wrong when in reality you've done the best thing in your life."
She is right. Its been not even a week and I feel better. Still nervous on the idea I do not have income coming in right now. BUT that is why the job hunt is so important.
This as been a long time coming. Finally.
On a lighter note the support I've been getting is hard to must into words. And not just from friends and family but coworkers (ex coworkers now) even people who have left the company years ago are finding out and are so happy for me.
I am happy that I got the opportunity to learn, I'd tell my girls all the time, "Its not a mistake IF you learn something from it." I feel that I have learned a lot.
So I promise there will be cake updates and costume updates too!
