I'm Crazy Enough to Think I Can

It's been 4 weeks that I've been back to work.  Four weeks of total torture and actually four weeks of hell.  I knew my first day back that this just wasn't going to work for me.  So I decided not to complain and moan but to just do something about it.  I wrote a resume (the first one in 14 years) and fired it off in response to an ad I saw on line.   Well low and behold, 3 weeks later this sister chick has a new job.  To offer a little background, I worked for the same small company for 13 years and loved it.  Two years ago the owner suffered a stroke and 1 year ago the company was sold to a very large national company.  From day one I was miserable and should have made a positive decision to move on a long time ago.  There was so much other drama happening in my usually very predictable and boring life I just couldn't mentally make that leap.

This move is really lateral and a wash financially.  But the job itself sounds perfect for me.  It's a very small family owned company and they are implementing the software program I have worked with for the last 6 or so years.  I will be instrumental in that area as well as my skilled area of inter-modal transportation.  They seem truly happy to have found me (actually I found them).  And I hope to have many happy years with their team.

I also had my first home jewelry party last week.  I would say it was a sparkling success and I have another one booked for next month

So this was just a quick update on the happenings in my life.  Not to shabby for an almost 55 year old using a cane!

Think positive ladies, miserable is not a way anybody should spend their working day.  Especially as those days seem to be longer and longer.  Don't be afraid to make a change.  And sometimes it just takes a little crazy to have the confidence to move forward.

I'll try to do an outfit post tomorrow so I can link up with VM.  Will have to see if I can manage my time efficiently the rest of the weekend.
