This past week, I gave two weeks notice to resign from my current position. I have worked at this job for the last 6 months. Let's just say that my employer was 'less than pleased', and leave it at that. At the end of the day, I was just asked to leave Friday, and they would pay me for the next week and 1/2. While I felt bad leaving all of my sweet/hardworking teammates with extra work (plus the added pain of training someone new), I realized that this was actually a gift.........I now have time to plan my move across the USA, and PACK....and, actually get some much needed sleep! I also realized that I shouldn't take the wrath of my ex-employer personally. He would have been bent-out-of-shape had anyone resigned...because my leaving did not fit with his 'master plan'. At the end of the day, I realized that I have definitely made the right decision for ME....because not only is the opportunity in California far superior........but also because I just don't like being treated poorly when I do something that doesn't fit with someone else's agenda. We are all unique, and we all have a unique path.
In other news.........I have sold about $1100.00 worth of 'STUFF' on Craigslist and as a reseller on Amazon. It has been fun getting rid of things I don't need anymore, and passing them off or sending them to people who can benefit in some way. I hope everyone that receives one of my 'hand-me-downs' (books, old cameras, bike, etc.) will enjoy them as much (or more) than I did! I wish I had done this ages ago! I would like to continue doing this act of getting rid of 'stuff' throughout life........and, perhaps donating a portion of the proceeds to a worthy charitable cause. PAY IT FORWARD!
I'm off to Starbucks to get my favorite drink.......Venti Cinnamon Dolce Latte, and then to go pick up some packing boxes. I will write more soon...............
