A new job.....

Today is an exciting day for me. I am starting a new job. It is the same type I have been doing for a while but with a different company. I left my previous company because of the unhealthy environment which I believe will not change.

It has become too toxic that while I was on medical leave I made the difficult decision of not going back so I gave my letter of resignation. While my doctor did not want me to be applying for a job, I still tried to just check on line to see what jobs are available. I sent a few resumes and got called in for a few interviews.

Just a week ago, I went for an interview and it felt good while I was there and the Vice President who I will be reporting to offered me the job and I am excited to start. It is close to where I live and I can walk to work although the company offered me free parking which I will take once the weather gets cooler. In the meantime I will walk the 14 blocks and I know I will enjoy it. It will be my daily exercise and it will be good for my diabetes. 

I will miss a few of my coworkers as there were a lot who have left while I was on medical leave so I don't really know or hardly know the remaining staff.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the week.

Friendship.....

While I was on medical leave, I realized who are my true and trusted friends. When I was not really feeling great and needed to talk, I knew the friends who I can depend on and they were the ones who really supported me.

I appreciated the wonderful ways they have found to make sure I was feeling ok. I got text messages and phone calls just asking how I was doing and made sure I was doing what the doctors have told me to do. Even when I did not want to go out, Carole made sure I went out and met her at one of the closest restaurant  close to my place even just to get a drink (virgin drink) and an appetizer.

So to everyone who were concerned and kept me in their thoughts, I thank all of you and I appreciated everything you all have done for me. Also to my sister who came to visit to make sure I was doing better, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made it easier for me to get well. Thanks for everything and I mean everything.

Back from a long hiatus

Yes, it has been a while. The last time I posted it was April fool's day. And I had not been  feeling well then. I was stressed from my job and other stuff and it took its toll. I had been on medical leave for two and a half months now and finally....thank God! I am on my way to recovery.

I realized that when I started this blog, I was in the midst of changing jobs and so I was going for job interviews. I got the job and that was one of my first postings.

So now that I am coming back from a long break, I am also in the process of changing my professional life so I had been going for interviews and luckily I found a really interesting job. So I resigned from my office where the environment is becoming toxic. I would have wanted to retire from that company but it was not meant to be.

On Monday, I start my job and I am excited about it as I report directly to the Vice President of the company and he is so friendly and down to earth. I also work well with male bosses than female as there is not a lot of drama, sorry gals but that is my experience.

I hope to post more often. I had a wonderful visit from my sister and will post about that later.
Thanks for dropping by.
