Since my last post, I've been elated for a getting a job interview for a job I wanted. Frustrated for not getting that job. Annoyed about having to go to another job interview that I didn't really think I wanted. And finally elated that I got the job I didn't think I wanted. Whew! Roller Coaster!
I am excited about my new job as it means new beginnings: new people, new environment, fresh, clean slate. But as with any "newness", there's also the old stuff that I have to clean up. Looking back in my life, this is one area that I'm really not that good at. I have a tendency to just stop. Not close, just stop. Stop going, stop talking, stop seeing, just stop.
I'm sure that this has frustrated MANY people in my past (especially boyfriends), but I just don't seem to have the patience for "dealing" with the clean up or maybe its I just don't have the nerve for it. I'm more of a ride-off-into-the-sunset-never-to-be-heard-from-again kinda gal. Be done with the old and EMBRACE the new (ASAP if possible)!
The most challenging thing about this current job change is that I not only have to "deal" with the old stuff that I've been keeping in, but I also have to do it in a tactful way because I would like to stay there on a very limited part-time basis.
The idea of me trying to be tactful is just scary...not so much for me, but for everyone who has to see me try to be tactful. I get so nervous that I just blurt shit out. I get defensive and just try to get it over with as quick as possible which is definitely not the most diplomatic way to handle the situation.
So, sigh, what to do? How do I tell my boss that I've found a new job because I didn't like the way she was treating me or running the business without ACTUALLY telling her this and salvaging a part time spot?
I guess at this point I should explain why I actually would like to stay on at all. There are several reasons. First, I really like my clients. I don't have that many so being able to stay on part-time will allow me to keep working with them. Secondly, I like the people I work with. They are fun and I don't want to "desert" them. And lastly, for money. The new job, as great as it is, is also only part time...for now.
So there you go...glad about new job, worried about closure on old job, REALLY ready to hop on my horse and get the hell out of here.
