So today is my last day at this job, I'm here now.

I've worked here for 3 years or so. When I landed this job, I was ecstatic. It was a wonderful opportunity, and my 1st big break into the "bigger" world of businesses. I thought I was going to retire from this company. In fact, those were still my thoughts up until about 8 months or so ago.

The company decided to sell, and go corporate, instead of staying family owned. It was 2 brothers in their late 60's early 70's who owned it, who's father owned it before them and so on. Once the corporate owners took over, the atmosphere here started to change. I no longer felt I had a career here.

And so the story goes, that about 4 months ago, I started a 2nd job to keep me busy since I only worked 3 days at my main job. 3 12hour shifts, but I was getting paid for 40hrs.

Well, just as my main job wanted to change my schedule, and I didn't feel like working there anymore, I was approached by the owner of my 2nd job, who offered me a promotion. PERFECT TIMING. Anyway, starting tomorrow, I will be a manager in my IT department. I'm thrilled. Much, much closer to home, and definitely much more money. And so with that news last week, I resigned from my current employer.

It's amazing how life can throw a curve ball at you, and yet, it all seems to work out in the end. It's a weird feeling because for that last 3 years, this job was my bread and butter. And I guess being young, I'm amazed I have gotten an even better opportunity. I guess after getting to know people for 3 years, it's kinda odd leaving. So in a strange way, I'll miss it, but I'll never look back.


Sorry for the long post, just wanted to share my thoughts, cuz as I said, I'm excited and looking forward to where my new job and title will take me.

Feel free to bash me for such a long and boring story lol.
