Heavy Sigh

I was going to call this blog entry "Sigh" but I had to upgrade. For several reasons.

First of all, it's snowing again here. The forecast was originally 12"-18" but now it's been downgraded to 6"-10". In this case, I'm not sure that size even matters. It's snowing again, just as the snow had begun to melt from the blizzard a few weeks ago.

The second reason to sigh is the job search. Or lack thereof. There are still no job leads. I did my "long" search today and came up with nothing.

There have been some crazy twists of fate in my life and career that I really don't allow myself to think about because if I do, I'll go crazy. But I'm going to share them with you now.

I worked at a company for 12 years. I worked hard, got promoted throughout my tenure there and then I was put into a position I did not want or enjoy. I realized by doing Meeting & Event Planning at this company that this is what I wanted to do as my career. I can't tell you how great it is to finally know what you want to be when you grow up -- even if you're already grown up!

I knew I would have to leave this company after a dozen years to pursue Meeting & Event Planning. I was fortunate enough to land a job doing exactly what I wanted and so much more. I loved it! But 16 months after I started, the entire company was shut down. And you know the rest. I now spend my days searching and shoveling.

If only snowflakes were job leads . . .
