I'm moving on. I'm increasing my knowledge, using what I already know, and looking to learn more. I'm letting go of the past, and moving on to a new journey.
Yep, I've given my notice at work and I'm moving to a new company (for me, anyway) beginning on September 18th. A whole new journey, for sure. Part of me is nervous. Part of me is excited. Most of me is overwhelmed with all I have to do before I leave.
And all that I am having to do before I can move into that new journey. I have received at least 10 emails telling me of things I need to do PRIOR to moving in to this new position. I've applied, had the interview, been offered the position - and now having to put things electronically and get my physical (Friday), review a video of a 'new hire tour', and answer numerous questions and submit numerous documents. I have been overwhelmed, to say the least. Part of me is thinking "what are you putting yourself through this for?" and yet, this is a great opportunity for me and I'm not the only one having to go through all these hoops to get this job. Next week I need to attend an "on-boarding" session in Mesa.... and I don't even start for another two weeks!!
I've put in for my last two vacation days - and I'm not sure I'll get paid as my current boss says "I can't figure out how to approve it" - or basically some other excuse. This Friday is at the end of the payperiod so if she has not approved my time off by Thursday afternoon, I will clock in and out as though I'm working even though I'm off. She will not cause me to have an unpaid day. It's these little issues that drive me crazy. I think she has a major case of ADD because she is all over the place.
Oh well, enough of that. Working on getting my paperwork done for the new position..... they tell me the new office is "only 6 miles further down the road" which can translate into another 30 minutes of driving time. I hate change and I hate having to find places that I don't know where they are at. I think this weekend I will be taking a drive to Mesa to see where these places are that I have to go to next week.
Life has been busy. An old, old, friend has contacted me via facebook and we have emailed - and last night we chatted for over an hour. She knew me in my "before" life as I now know it. We are actually meeting for dinner tonight to catch up some more. It's been wow - close to 45 years or so since we have seen or talked to each other. Don't even remember why we quit connecting. Interesting.
Break over - back to work - maybe I can get back to writing on weekends.....
Blessings!
