€, my last job sucked the will to live right out of me... you know, you were there to see me at my worst.
the support of the incredible cast of characters here pulled me through ... and one ANGEL challenged me to (despite all odds) go for my current job.
i think without that horrible time in my life, i would STILL be at that crappy old job. i needed a swift kick and a wake-up to motivate me into making a move.
now, i am as happy as i have ever been at a job (there is one other i think nearly ties it) and come home each day feeling like i have made a difference. i feel satisfied. i feel worthwhile. and it's a job/company/product i have passion for.
they say, find the work you love and the money (benefits) will follow.
well, with these recent promotions i have never made as much income in my life. it's feeling good. now, mind you, i may very well have bitten off more than i can chew... to be determined later... but i have stretched out my arm and grabbed the brass ring - at last.
you know that you are deeply loved in this group of friends and i'm sure each one of us wishes you much happiness. and that might mean making a scary change. [goes for the rest of you that have posted about needing a change too!] yeah, scary as hell indeed.
DustySage said to me, "what's the worst that can happen? they could say no. then you have lost nothing. at least try!"
seamonkey, combine your talents with your passion.
you totally rock and can do this.
