theres been a lot on my mind and i havent had the chance to unload some of it on these pages. i feel i have exhausted the topic of my job elimination (i cringe to even write those words) and so this will be the last post to speak of it. i am considering a few options; if you would like, continue reading below. if not, ill understand.
option 1 (most appealing): place all my stuff in storage and take a road trip for a month or two. (why leave off what happens after the trip? because it seems right to do it - endless possibilities)
option 2 (very unsure about timeframes): renew my lease one last time, for only 6 months. stay here through septemberish and hope to find another job with a comparable salary.
option 3 (realistic? i think not): buy a house now, while i have a job. for some reason, the thought of having a house makes me feel more secure. its probably because i still do not grasp how much money they truly cost.
option 4 (nearly forgot this one, hmm): try to secure a job within the company at the brandon site or orlando site. i would have to relocate obviously, stay with parents for a bit or get my own place? room with andrew? (his job is close to where the orlando site is) this option would move significantly higher on my list if my manager were to accept the offer she has to go there, and i, uhm, could work for her still. crazy, but shes that good.
option 5 (now im really stretching): make a living selling stuff on ebay and get a parttime job at a nursery and/or take the grant provided by the bank and learn a new trade.
option 6 (most likely to happen): become homeless and sit outside the 711 across from the chase site, just waiting for card to reopen so i can be the first in line.
do i really love my job that much, you ask? thats really a loaded question. i love those that i work with and it saddens me to think that soon we will have to separate. i love those satisfying moments at work, the times we catch the fraud, or one of my staff gets promoted, or even just the normal day to day interaction with my team, knowing that i have helped them in one way or another. i am objective about my job; there are really a lot of times i want to walk out the door or feel like im drained of everything and still, they want more and more. there are those not so fun, uhm, terminations. there are those moments when i feel ive failed and let others down. oh, and i would love to glance at the clock and not jerk if its close to the half hour.
really though, i wanted to be the one to say good bye if it came to that.
you can always ask me if you have questions about my options. this site will go back to its normal, wordy peregrinations - no more talk of severance, unemployment or the like. although, you can be sure it will be on my mind.
