working, well kinda
I have been at work for about 4 hours now, I got my day off right, and got things done. Now I am sitting here and thinking back to 07. I will give you a very little update on how i saw the last year, and what I am thinking in regards to the new one.
First, I really don't remember how 07 started, I don't remember where I was or where Greg was or if we were even together on the day. Oh well
The first few months moved along alright and pretty normal. Then in about March, my bosses at the time began to talk about restructure and how they thought it would be in my best interest to do so and begin to move towards more of a management piece. I thought it sounded to good to be true. As we moved froward everyone got new job descriptions and were excited about it. I still had not seen one for my new job and responsibilities. So as normal I continued to apply for more jobs that I thought I fit. I interviewed in New Orleans and really was excited and it did not work out, same thing then occurred in North Carolina, but that in the end I dont think that they like gays much. The same thing happed with my whirl wind trip to Colorado, it was awesome and i got along great with everyone and they went with someone closer. I was getting pretty depressed and geared up for the summer. Then as I was leaving for my best friends wedding Greg and I were up late one night, and he suggested i apply for a job out east in Massachusetts. I said sure what the hell could it hurt. I did and as I was driving back from Kansas I got a call. The Executive thought i would be a good fit and wanted to talk and interview me on the phone the following Tuesday. After the phone interview on July 3rd, I thought hum, this sounds way to good to be true don't get your hopes up. So as the weeks progressed and I flew out, rode the boat, talked/interviewed/returned. I thought damn he offered me a job out there lets see what happens with pay and moving and is this good. Greg and I talked and I got the offer on the 25th of the month and they wanted me to start the 11th of the next. I accepted and took the leap of faith. We sold almost everything we owned, swapped cars, left our families and friends.
Now we got here, Greg had a hard time finding a job, and I was swamped with work. Now that we have been here a little over 4 months I wonder if we made the right choice. I know I was being forced out and would have had to be looking for a new job, or found one by now. I have extra time on my hands from time to time, our building is behind schedule and I know Greg is not happy here. I know i told them we were in it for the long haul. However, i think this is a small blimp on the map. I see us making it a full year, maybe almost two. But come this time next year I will be looking for things as they pop up back in the Midwest, maybe in Florida, or Cali, somewhere where it is easier then living here. It is hard, a boat ride, a long drive off the cape. Only if we had a bridge. I love my boss, I like my job, working on getting better staff, and things seem to be moving up. I however think that in the long run, i love my bf to much to stay here. I know he is not happy, i know i am not super happy, so what is best, i am not sure. As I begin 08 I know things here will get better somewhat, somewhat not. I know what I want to do in life, i know this is a good place to grow, get the experience needed. I just want to to be happy in all phases of life. that is why i am making the choice to do what is best for us as this year progresses. If this is not the place next year then we will move foward and go where God and our hearts want us to go.
