I didn't realize, until I logged in to my blogger account, that this would be my first post of the year. I guess I have been too preoccupied to post. Mostly though, I have just been working a lot more than I usually do at both jobs.
All in all, it has been a pretty hectic year for me. I am contemplating leaving my full time job of 10 years because I feel that it is a dead end job. There are no growth opportunities for me because I am not really interested in the positions available and my boss is so dependent on me that I don't see her championing a promotion for me. Not only does that annoy me, but it bothers me that she is more focused on making sure that I am available to make her life easy, while ignoring the fact that I am unhappy, overworked, overqualified and underpaid in my current position.
I keep thinking that I need to dust off my resume and start hitting the pavement, but my loyalty to her always holds me back. I know that I could get a better paying job, but I just think that the idea of having to give notice and having to deal with the whining and complaints is holding me back. I know that at the end of the day I have to do what is best for me, and I know this company is not in my best interest, I still shudder to think that I will have to leave my comfort zone and forge a new path and that kind of scares me.
I am working on it though. I will leave this place, I just have to put a plan in place and implement it in such a way that leads to a seamless transition for me.
