GRATEFUL SHIT

OK, as mentioned in a prior post, I resigned from my job back in January. I just needed to go, I was in a position to be able to walk away, and maybe one day I’ll espouse more on all a’ that.

So, I’m doing the usual - busying myself with this website (literally every web designer, social media manager, and that type of job needs a 10% raise immediately, like HERE IS MONEY wow, this shit is a lot!!!), laying the foundation for a consulting company, reading actual books for actual pleasure, watching TV (The Affair = sexxxy time oh wow), exercising, and, of course, applying for jobs. I’d rather go to the dentist every day forever than apply to jobs / write cover letters, but yeah, ok, I also like money so I better get it together.

Anyway, plugging along on the job front, and then, this past Wednesday, I got notification about a part-time gig, under which I’ll be a 1099 employee aka get paid under my consulting company. Within 30 minutes of that notification, I heard back from two job recruiters just writing back to say “Hi” and check in, and then a dormant group chat bubbled up again so that’s nice b/c we’re all the actual fuck over this ‘demic and it’s important to stay in touch. Then, not 24 hours later, I got a text from an old boss about a cool position at her office. I FaceTimed with a dear friend, made a few margaritas, and just………..basked in how fortunate I am to be in such positions of working on myself, maybe working for myself, supporting a spouse who has been super supportive of me.

I write this not to brag, but look back later like a happy diary entry and let it serve as a reminder that sometimes things come all at once, bad AND good!!! Plus, if you want change, you gotta change, boo! Real talk.

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. HAPPY FRIDAY!
