I posted back around Christmas that there was a gift I've been wanting to give myself for a long time. It's something that could not be purchased or placed in a box. Don't get too excited because frankly for the near future I remain without said gift.
What is it you ask?
I've been wanting for years to quit my job.
I know, I know. I can hear your words to that now.
"Get over it."
With so many people in this world who have so little, how could I even contemplate the risk of stepping away from this security? I've known a number of people with significant education, skills and experience that have struggled in the past few years gaining employment. I certainly don't want that.
On a side note, if you are ever feeling sad for yourself, watch Central Station or Children of Heaven. Trust me when I say that feeling will go away.
St. Patrick's Day was my 14 year anniversary with the company. I've had various roles and been through two mergers. On Friday I interviewed for another position, albeit still with the same company. It is a lateral move in the organization but with a higher salary.
The interview went very well. The interviewer told me that of the 12 or so interviews they have conducted so far that I am the most qualified. So I'm taking that as a good indicator of my chances.
So my gift remains elusive but I'm anticipating good news to come. If all goes well I'll need to buy something sparkly as a replacement gift.

I hope that the outcome is a positive one for you.
Keep your eye on that gift tho... I gave that gift to myself a while back now and have not regretted it t all.
sometimes the workplace just passes it's use by date.
