New Job

Just in case you ever wonder .....

I started the new job on the same day that you stopped talking to me. You who during my decision-making process, urged so vehemently that I accept the offer.

You who was so happy when I informed you of my (possible life saving) decision.

In a matter of two or three hours, I went from being told off and torn apart to being shown my new responsibilities.

I so badly wanted to share the transition with you.

It's easily one of the best decisions I ever made. Likely one that wouldn't have been made without your your concern, care, voice and urging. Oh, I struggled with second thoughts from the moment I started. Second thoughts that lasted about a month. Second thoughts that still occasionally pop up for a brief second or two. But those mostly faded away and it's been near zero stress since. And performing my new duties on my own timeline. 

And feeling free to take a day off when desired. That as they say, is on you. 

Oh I miss certain aspects of my old job and some of the daily supervisory and personal interactions with people, but people still come to me with questions and issues because they know I will help them. That has proved to be important, even vital to me. 

People have asked me how I like the new job and I always credit the lost friend who they know nothing about.

So every now and then, I walk to a spot with unobstructed space, face your direction and say, "thank you."
