Waiting to make a Step


Sitting here waiting for 430, waiting to go home, waiting for my offer letter to come to my email, wishing I was with my family, wishing I wasn’t here twiddling my thumbs, wishing I had work to do to help pass the time.

I am waiting for another step up the ladder on my career path , it is in their hands, said to be to me today, said to be in my email today, said to have an offer letter for a new position at a new company in my email today….WHERE IS IT?!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have learned all that I can here at Hale Glass and I have offered up all the information, lessons and advice they are willing to take from me. My time here is complete. There is no ladder for me to climb here, no higher or better position for me to obtain, no room for growth, I have maxed out.

Woodbridge Glass and Werner Systems is my next stop along my career path. Hopefully the right step? How can one be certain which are the right steps? I have no psychic powers, no crystal ball; no magic wand to wave that tells the future. All I poses is my gut feeling, my intellect and my belief in timing/everything happens for a reason.

Woodbridge is a bigger company, they don’t even touch projects under 2 million. They have their own extrusion materials and they produce more custom designs. This translates to more design, engineering and brain usage. I need to be challenged, intrigued, and stimulated at work every day. Not sit with nothing to do, not sit and watch the clock, not dread going to work.

I have always believed you should have a job you enjoy doing because it consumes the majority of your life. I have enjoyed many positions at various employments taking with me what education and career strengthen I could but always looking to where I can go to continue growing my skill set and increasing my knowledge base. It is my drive and determination for the coexistence of success and happiness that keeps me achieving and reaching my goals.

P.S.: I am still waiting for that email.

Reacting


Over reacting seems to be my memo lately, my norm rather then the occasional. I do NOT like it one bit and I know my family doesn't either so it is time to make a change for the better.



"The art of not reacting. In order to stop overreacting, you can try using the art of not reacting. This means that when you’re presented with a certain situation, your goal will be to not react at all. Instead, you’ll take the time to think about the situation and then formulate your action" (Wiseley, 2010).

Well that sounds like a good place to start.

I know I have to remember to
just take a deep breath and relax before I react. Remember I am not perfect, to not judge quickly, I do not have to control everything and that mistakes happen. I want to be that kind, gentle, easy going, fun person that I knew and loved in myself. She is still there, I see her.


Wish me luck.
