It Comes Back Around
The news flash from today is that the SVP that let me go just over a year ago, was let go today. Funny how it comes back around. I would never wish ill on somebody else as we all have families and obligations and I won't dwell on this. I will just choose to learn from it and apply it to my life and the actions that I make in the future.
A good thing has happened in that I have found a contract role which might have some longevity. Maybe . Ironically this is with the private equity group that I was just with and I am very thankful to them. You know it's funny, I always thought that there would be this defining moment when I would secure a new permanent job. There would be an interview, a negotiation a week later, followed by a Fed Ex envelope with an offer letter. That just has not happened for me. But here is this new opportunity that might have a few months in it for me. It might turn into a full time role in a few months. They might tell me to go packing in two weeks. There is all of this uncertainty surrounding this and it just weighs on me because I only want one thing: I want my life back. I want certainty. I want to be able to go on and live and put this behind me once and for all.
So here is the choice - I want to say this is it, and embrace where I am. I want to say the battle has been won. On the other hand, my prudence tells me that I am still on high alert and the storm is not over. There will be a decision soon.
What's for dinner?
Seared scallops/spinach/warm vinaigrette/chive dressing

All you have to do to win is declare victory. Being able to pay your bills is also a victory.
It is a wheel that is turning. Even if it is painfully slow. And... next time you've gotta give me more than an hours notice to join you for dinner. The voice mail was great. So casual, as if I were just down the street. *sigh*
although i am not a fan of seafood that looks tasty.
i hope good things happen for you and soon.
and yeah, karma is a bitch at times...bummer for your previous svp, but...
You want to say this is it and embrace where you are? Or do you want closure...
Intuition tells me this is a good place for breathing, but the best is yet to come. But, what do I know. 'Pretty not smart'...maybe this is what you have been looking for?
I LUV LUV LUV scallops...yum.
