Changes on the Horizon
>> Wednesday, June 09, 2010
Well, I was hoping that when I returned to blogging, it would be on a positive note. And while there is potential for good things to happen, the motivation that has brought me back is fear.
Yesterday, I was informed that my job will essentially be eliminated in approximately five months. In November. Ironically, my ten year anniversary with my company is in August.
A huge part of me is scared. The job market in Tampa is horrendous. Any change in this department is going to affect my lifestyle significantly.
Another part of me is secretly excited for the opportunity to finally find something that I love. Except for the problem that lies in the fact that I have no idea what it is that I would love. And that lingering issue of a craptastic job market.
::sigh::
Anyway, this is why I've finally returned to blogging: to document the countdown to a dramatic change in my employment situation.
Tips, suggestions, words of wisdom? All will be gladly accepted!

Oh boo...that stinks...but then there IS a positive somewhere, although I'll be the first to admit that's not always easy to see.
I'm with you on not knowing what it is that I (or you) would love...here I am about to finish this silly degree & really not much interest in using it when I'm done.
It's so frustrating, isn't it?!?!
Sorry to hear your news. I know that kind of stuff is so unexpected and stressful. Hopefully something wonderful will come of it and you can use your ten years of experience to do something you love!
Just imagine--as scary as it may be, this could be just the impetus to open new and exciting doors that you never imagined before! I can feel exciting things for you on your horizon. Be open to all the possibility that this can bring you: )
Oh no! So I am in the same boat as you. I haven't yet figured out what I want to do with my life. We will make it through, I promise.
On another side note... is this a blessing in disguise? I mean, we all hate to hear that, but maybe it will resolve some of the other issues you've had there. Right? If you want to chat about it off the blog, send me an email girly!!
All I know is that the scariest moments of forced change that have happened in my life turned out to be catalysts of some of the biggest blessings. You are awesome & smart & talented. There is something out there. And the base line for every new endeavor is to have a positive attitude. It starts there. It won't make things materialize out of nowhere of course, but when you start with a positive mindset & work hard, good things happen. They will happen to you. So, Step One: Find a good positive mantra to repeat to yourself. Step Two... headhunter?
