Two Weeks Notice

The latest big news? I quit my job yesterday. I put in my two weeks notice and am not looking back.

Anyone who's been around here for any amount of time knows that it's been a long time coming. It's been a lot to handle for awhile, and I think I've only recently reached that critical tipping point. It finally got to me and was really affecting me in ways it should not have been allowed to, and I couldn't let it happen any more.

I felt as though I was heading down an all-too-familiar road, with familiar milemarkers that indicated my nearness to a destination I have no desire to reach again. It's that place of desperation....of panic and fear....of crippling anxiety and nerves of....well, nerves of whatever material could be considered the opposite of steel. It's not a good place to be, and my nearness to it was enough to convince me that something had to give.

Something had to change. I couldn't put myself, Scott, or the baby through any of that anymore. The normalcy of stress and anxiety was unnerving and not something I wanted to encourage.

I don't have a definite plan now, which is a little bit scary, but I really feel that God is going to take care of us. I'll start looking for something with less pressure - something of less importance that will let me concern myself with my health and wellbeing. I will write. Ultimately, that is what I want to do, and this gives me a good opportunity to pursue that. I feel peace about my decision and I know that I've done the right thing for myself and my family.

That's what's most important to me.

While in the above movie Sandra Bullock does play the part of an assistant to an overly busy real estate developer person, I have to be sure to point out that the resemblance between the two of us ends there. I do not anticipate the end of my movie here at Boss Man's Concrete Company to look anything like the end of Sandra's movie. I'll leave it at that. (Though now I do have the urge to watch that movie. It was good.)
