Endings (Gatvol) and New Beginnings
Hey all
*cheesy drum roll*....
I resigned on Thursday and have to admit that my feelings did swing from high to low with extremes of sweet and sour.
No I have not decided to throw away a decent paying job to do any of the following
[Ahhh... bless ...]
Given the position I find myself in, the move seems like the best option for me in so many different ways. Those of you who know me will know that I am direct and do not appreciate being messed around. So when I found myself on the receiving end of yet another pathetic (oh and I do mean pathetic) excuse as to why I was not worth putting up for promotion I snapped and said "stuff it!" to loyalty. How completely satisfying it was that a few days later a recruitment agent just happened to get hold of me. :-)
Anyways it goes without saying the interviews went well and the job offer was made ironically during the department's get-away annual celebration conference (so much more to celebrate - OMG it sounds like a Multichoice ad)
The real beauty was that on Thursday morning I happened to have yet another meeting with my favorite (NOT!!!!!) person in the whole entire company and yet again had to listen to his wishy-washy approach at shaping my future.
[Image the mind switching off and dreaming of the sweetness that will follow the moment a resignation letter is handed in at day end to this same pompous pratt]
I could actually go on for hours about the whole thing, but at the end of the day one ending leads onto a new beginning [reminds me of "lightning crashes"] and that it would be the start of my blog.
Before I end there are two really great sites I have come across:
www.i-resign.com
www.gatvol.co.za
Stay tuned for more of my rants
