Well. Things haven't necessarily been going well. I accepted a new job and gave the law firm my notice, only to find out that the new job wasn't really everything I had anticipated. I quit before I started, but the firm has already hired a couple of new people. As I was transitioning to the terrifying barren wasteland that comes with being unemployed and looking (I actually have more hope than that; I'm merely being melodramatic), we got evicted for the first time in our lives and given thirty days to vacate (through no fault of our own, may I add; the owners of our rental sold the property).
While we have found a new rental house, it is more expensive and it won't take our kitty, Phineas. So we have to say goodbye to our cat, who we adopted because our landlord told us we could stay in our house forever. We have to spend a decent chunk (maybe all) of our wedding savings to get moved and through this rough patch.
And. Just. Moving. Ugh.
So here's the deal: I know it'll all work out. I know it'll make me stronger. I just want to figure out what the hell I want to be when I grow up and get on a path to get that started!
I went to school for communications. That's the wrong field for a family woman. I'm considering banking, would love a human resources position, and am even thinking I may get stuck pushing paper in an office for a weekday schedule. Or...and this is my personal favorite...
GRAD SCHOOL!
Which would mean a sacrifice in family time now so that I may have a better job with better pay and more family time later. Why do decisions have to be so hard and stuff. I wish I could just work and enjoy it for what it is and take home my money and live my life. I envy people who don't feel like they need a passion or purpose in their professional lives, I truly do. But I have dreams and I want to follow them.
For now, just riding the waves and applying for jobs to see what happens. And there are a couple of prospects that sound really good. One in particular (that would actually fit with grad school too).
Pray. Hope. Think. Cross Fingers. Light a Candle. I'm not stopping until I'm satisfied.
Never quit!
