7 Years and 67 days…
Is how long I dedicated to my job, but NO MORE. I am officially un-employed and surprisingly feel good about it. I say surprisingly because I was really worried about being terrified of not having a job, but this has been something I have wanted to do for over 4 years now.
So I spent my week training my replacement and walked her through the process of officially terminating me from the system. It was bittersweet and even though I managed to hold back most of my tears, some escaped. I do feel a huge sense of weight being lifted off my chest and will now start my journey of finding a new job. I have a phone interview lined for tomorrow afternoon, but I promised my self and SRR that I would take my time making my decision and that I would not settle for the first thing that jumped my way (unless it happens to be my dream job).
I have seriously been considering and wanting to go back to school and get my nursing degree. That is the only thing I can see my self doing and being completely satisfied day in day out. I think it is time for me to follow my dreams and full-fill my goals of getting my nursing degree. Working full time and trying to go to school full time could be/and probably will be hell for a few years, but I think in the end it will all be worth it.
