The End of an Era

I'm free! I've finally mustered up the courage (liquid as it may be) and left my job for something much better.

The management at my old job was a group of terrible, untrained, clique', bunch of idiots. There was just too much dissention within the ranks and they did very little to end it, and much to keep it at its peak.

They gave out $3000 dollar bonuses to some, none to others. This wasn't based on anything other than the fact they were trying to build morale. Which, obviously, wasn't the case. They gave raises to some and not others, and of course those that got them couldn't keep it secret, so the others that didn't got angered. (I happened to receive both). The stress and hostility in that place could be cut with a knife, and I'm actually suprised it wasn't.

My new position is a work from home Mentoring position. The pay is approx $1000 less, but with the cost of driving, food, and babysitters, I'm going to come out ahead. I'll get to use my home office as my work space, I can move to any city in Canada and work now. So FINALLY, Ottawa here I come again baby!!!!

Things are looking up, of course change is a bit scary, but I laugh in the face of err..scary.

Back to Work

Well, I'm back at it again. After a little over a month of recovery time, I felt it was time to get back to work. To be honest if I had my way, like most people, I'd just as soon stay on leave, hehe.

First day back was definately not good. After answer the requisite number of questions from co-workers, the work began. It's not hard to remember why I needed time off. I'm strong starting to consider a different career.

I've had alot of time to think about things, and I do believe that in my case now, that would be my best course. I need to have something more interesting and not as sedintary as what it is I'm doing now.

Short blog today, but now that I'm back at work, I will try and update regularly.
