Announcement

That was my super stress... I had been thinking about leaving my job.
It was not easy and after many meals at McDonalds (hey it helps me think) I decided to stop the stress and just go for it.

It's not a huge change. I know some people are putting me down because I keep saying I need more challenge and structure in my life, and that this might not be change enough. I do however like to prove those people wrong.

My start date is still being negotiated, by my end date at this office is finalized.
I will have about a week and a half left.
I have cried trying to tell everyone but I can't stay there because of the staff, I need to be happy in all aspects in my life.

In the past three years I have:
* A dissolved 9 yr relationship and survived
* Lost 120 lbs
* Worked on my mental health
* Started dating
* Found someone who likes me for me
* Enjoyed life a little more
* Have changed my attitude
Now I was only missing something in my career life and I think this will help really finalize my new start~new life.

It's a struggle sometimes to leave a job, even one you hate. But you have clearly thought this through and are taking another step towards your own happiness. Yours is a total body, mind, soul makeover.

Looking forward to your next post a week and a half later!
