For any of you who saw my post last week about my coworker, let me just say that I decided to quit my job last week. I haven't put in my notice, yet, but I'm actively seeking new employment. Last week was one of those times when all the stars and planets lined up just right to show me that I no longer belong where I am working. They don't appreciate me, and my boss's apparently don't respect me. This baffles me because I am such a devoted and hard-working person; someone who actually uses her brain to do her job; who is proactive and an excellent problem-solver. The only thing I can think of is that the other admin in my department has been tarnishing my name in order to get my job. She's made it no secret that she wants it, I just hadn't realized until this week what she was doing behind my back to take it from me.
But, it's no bother. It's time for me to move on. My intuition tells me so and I just don't "feel" that I should be there any longer. Does that make sense? I can just sense that there is a better opportunity for me somewhere else and that my time with Thomson (RCA) is done.
So, I spent the better part of the weekend crafting cover letters, emails to old professional contacts, correspondence to my contacts with employment agencies, and my resume. I think I spent about 10-12 hours writing and submitting my resume to all sorts of companies. I'm whooped! But I feel so content and satisfied with my weekend accomplishment.
Tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life: I start living for me from now on. My job is not my life, and any employer who thinks it is, is not one I want to continue working for. Work to live -- don't live to work!
I hope you all had wonderful weekends, too! And, I hope you all wake up tomorrow and say, "It's going to be a wonderful week!"
