Crossroads

Eventually we all come to a crossroads in our lives. Do you continue down the path your taking or do you turn left or right? Last Wednesday I hit that proverbial crossroads. I've been pretty unhappy in my job for several years now. It all started with the "move up" in my career path, first to a shift supervisor, then to the desk job. Philosophically I had a lot of problems with where I worked because of what they were doing to the environment, plus how they treat people.

Wednesday started out as any other day & quickly spiraled out of control. I was sitting at my desk running the morning report. In flies one of the plant supervisors screaming & yelling about something I had no control over. I've had run ins with this gentleman before so I informed him he needed to talk to the gentleman who is "supposed to be in charge". From there a 5 minute yelling match ensued traveling over several yards of the maintenance shop. Personally I don't like to be treated like crap & I try & treat people with the same respect. After this it turns out I "was at fault" not anyone else. This of course didn't sit too well with me since I have had to take several cussing for the "supervisor" before. He's one of the guys who can avoid trouble like the plague. Some how he can screw up & its always someone else's fault. After talking to Amber several times, it was decided I didn't need to work there anymore. I typed up my letter of resignation, packed my belongings, & walked out the door.

I'm now standing at that crossroads trying to decide what to do. I have lots of options so I won't continue down that path to hell. Having a job was making me too comfortable so I had no motivation to look for something that would give me more than a paycheck & constant stress. Now I have lots of motivation. The resume is dusted off & updated. I've been sending it out to lots of companies beginning my search for job satisfaction. Everything happens for a reason so hopefully this wasn't too dumb a move & will lead to being happier & have more job satisfaction.

Needless to say if you need to get a hold of me the email is the same & I'm using my old cell # again. For the time being I have a lot of free time on my hands to train.
