No One Said That Change and Personal Growth are Easy

The time finally came. One time too many have my feelings been hurt, and I could NOT take anymore abuse. I quit my job today. Much talking was done by the parties involved, and this was just what needed to happen. Hubster is shaky, but I am cool and collected. I KNOW that we will be provided for. God is looking out for us, and he always will. This was the RIGHT, not EASY decision for me. I was going to have ANOTHER breakdown if I stayed there any longer.

So far I have already:

Contacted SEVERAL friends to find out if their places of employment are hiring, updated my resume, and I have already applied to about 10 jobs. Tomorrow I am going to get my hair cut (It is too wild, shaggy, and crazy looking right now...not professional at all!) go see my counselor at school and register for Graduation, work on my finals and art projects that I have due, and job search some more. I have SEVERAL phone calls that I will be making about jobs as well. Plus I will be updating my resume on some job boards, and checking out Craigslist.com to see what he has to tell me. ^-^

Some (the majority) of people FEAR CHANGE. I don't. I am embracing it. I like change, it makes me happy. I know that I have grown as a person and that is why I am moving on. Going to "bigger and better things", "Moving on up...(to the East Side)" I AM "finally going to get a piece of the pie." My amazing boss, well...now friend Jeff told me that "No job is worth your tears."

I am at peace, zen, hell I am NINJA right now. The SKY IS THE LIMIT BABY!!!! I am applying for TONS of different jobs, in TONS of different fields that I have NEVER done before.

I could be a patient transporter this time next week, or a bartender-in-training...who knows? I will NOT be typecast into a stupid shitty clerical cube job that I hate NO MORE!

Whew... 1:30 here. I am so hyper...I do not know how I am going to fall asleep.

I am going to meditate...and do some more laundry.

Back to Square 1....What a Great Way to Start Over!

So I started the day off in truly a spectacular way. I met one of my buddie's up at Caribou on Union Lake and we had several hours of stimulating convo over some truly delectible coffee. I feel so refreshed and rejuvinated. Immediately when I came home, I kissed my hubster and gave him a hug, he is still currently taking a nap, and I am taking a moment out of my busy "rearranging and cleaning" schedule to post a good word to all my faithful readers. That would be y'all.
I have decided to not take the shit that happens at work so personally anymore. I DEFINENTLY do not need to bring it out of the office, beyond my half hour drive home, and drag it along with my sorry butt into the house. NO MAS! I have a new strategy for how I will conduct myself in the office, and I hope I have the balls to follow through with it. We shall see...I am going to do my best to make sure I stick to this path.
It is high time that I ME MYSELF take the INITITAVE in my life to make sure that I AM THE ONE MAKING MYSELF HAPPY! I can not rely on everyone else to make me happy. A big boulder of happyness is not going to rain down from the sky on my head everyday.
So that being said...I am physically and then emotionally and mentally going to get rid of the "Clutter" in my life. I need to SIMPLIFY! Since I have been reading this "Tao of Pooh" book I find myself saying "What would Pooh do if he were in the situation I am in?"
OK sorry all, but I gotta jet...there is much that still needs to be done...
Peace, Love, and Hello Kitty!
