So around 2.5 months have passed since my last post. Oops.
I have actually missed blogging a lot. Mostly because I love to write and have a sounding board somewhere out there on the interwebs where I can write what I am thinking and feeling and reflect on it.
Like this little nugget of information: I quit my job on Friday.
The same one I was so excited about the last time I had updated my blog.
I feel good about the decision though. After I officially had quit and submitted my notice, I felt a huge sense of relief. I also had broken out in hives on my chest and sweat through my entire shirt, but I still felt relief.
I have never had to quit a job and it was a really awkward experience for me, but I am so glad I did. I have been miserable in this job and in turn have been making life miserable for everyone else in my life. I was sick of people yelling at me, annoyed at the lack of internal support and frustrated with the overall mission and ethic of the company I was working for. I explained to my boss that I wanted to work somewhere I felt passionate and inspired.
Volunteering and teaching civics classes on Saturdays has really showed me what I am lacking in my life. I want to feel inspired every day of the week. I want to change lives and feel good about myself. I simply cannot do that at my current job.
It was not the best timing to quit my job either. I just signed a lease for a brand spankin' new apartment where Pedro and I will officially be moving in together and even though I do have a cushion of money saved up, the pressure is definitely on to find something fast. And I know now to not just take the first job offered- I need something that will excite and challenge me.
Here's to new beginnings?
