Baptism By Fuego PT. 2: The Exodus


Well.... ... I DID say that I would keep you(!?!?) posted on my ongoing career saga and I feel obligated to keep you in the loop to the latest saga of my new gig. As many of you know, I have had this job for 2+ months now and the last time I blogged about it I am sure you got the not-too-subtle impression that I hated it.

Well... 2+ months later I still hate it and of course what I have been trying to do is to get out of that position. One thing I can tell you is a pain and that I am not built for is using 10+ hours of my life generating, "scrubbing", crunching and "tieing data for reports for 9-11 working hours of every work day.

Well...last Tuesday, my boss called my into the office and told me that after 2+ months of working for him that I should've been fully capable of assuming the responsibilities of his other subordinate that was training me [oh yeah, 3 weeks of which he was on his honeymoon] and that since I was not that he has to let me go...
Little does boss man know that his assistant already dropped dime about the re-org that was going on companywide and that people were getting packages in my department...

Of course I am a little upset about it but I'm also relieved......... I really felt trapped and stressed and deflated the 2+ months that I worked there.....

Well... now I have to embark on something new .... try to learn from my mistakes... try not to worry about just getting that next "job".... make this the turing point not just for my career .... but for my life in general....
But every clowd has a silver lining...
That 1 month paid vacation is a helluva lining alright...
Chea!!
For everyone that has stood behind my thanks for the support....

Bendito! I liked what you said about not just looking for the next job but the bigger picture of what direction you would like to propel your life. Give me a call when you have a moment. V
