*I* Say When

So I've made it pretty clear I'm lookin' for a job. I'm just not satisfied with the one I have for several reasons. The main thing is it's gettin' harder and harder to look at myself in the mirror. I don't like the things I have to do most days.

Well - the writing is on the wall. Everyone sees it. I'm on the short list. And I'm really ok with that. They are settin' me up to let me go.

But here's the kicker. I want to leave before that happens. It's a matter of pride. And lordy lordy I gots me plenty of pride. Too much some days.

But the timing is critical.

The amazing thing is I'm not worried. Oh - I know it'll be harder than hell to find another job in this pay bracket in this area. But I have a plan (THERE'S a surprise!!) I'll temp for a while if I have to, or maybe sell furniture. I'll keep my head above water - there's no doubt there. I am, if nothing else, a survivor.

But I am stressing over the way this will all play out. You see - I want to leave on my own terms. To quote one of my favorite movies - "I say when".

So the race is on. The stakes are high, but I'm not runnin' from this one. Every morning I get up and put on my game face. All the while keeping my eyes on the goal.
