Well, as most of you had heard, I was in a small car crash a few weeks ago. Mainly because of the obnoxious neurological issues that ail me on an intermittent, but now permanent basis.
This can only be explained as a life altering situation.
So, what to do?
I finally decided to change my career. It was a hard decision, but it was for the best. For the past few years, I was an insurance adjuster, which required exorbitant amounts of driving. As you can see, my ailment keeps me for at least a few weeks and months a year from doing my job. It sucks, but I am stepping out of corporate America and going to work for a smaller business. I will basically be doing the same job, but I will be in one location and starting, not from scratch, but over again.
It is a strange feeling and one that I haven't ever experienced. I am happy to have a new job and the opportunity to still be able to work, despite my issues, but at the same time I am sad to close the door on a chapter in my life. I loved the company that I worked for, the people I worked with, and the pride that I had every day. It is going to be a tough adjustment, but now that it has been decided, it is the right decision. I will go forward on Monday and learn to love a new company.
Wishing you the best. And it's weird, sometimes. It wasn't easy for me to close my bookstore, but it was the right thing to do. And that opened a new door. And now I'm happily working as an editor, doing something else I love.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you made one of those tough decisions... and it sounds like the right decision.
My best, as always,
Bryan
