8 Days and Counting

I gave notice at Verizon Wireless. I have marked eight squares on my calendar, which I’m checking off one by one. Yep, eight more days of the “call mines,” and then I’m free! I don’t know what my next job will be, and the economy looks dire. Melodie Beattie calls this “stepping out into the great unknown.” But I don’t care. At least, I won’t be at VZW, and that is cause for celebration.

What did I learn this past year on the job? That I do not like jobs with a lot of stress and negativity. That I don’t want to be on the phones anymore, trying to fix other peoples’ problems. I need a nice quiet job where I can take a fresh breath once in a while. One that doesn’t focus on people kvetching and complaining all the time.

I’ll even be able to get back to my blogging and writing. Sounds like heaven.

Moving to Phoenix

  2009 will bring big changes. We are moving to Phoenix, Arizona! 

My daughter moved there earlier this year and loves it. When we went down in November, we liked it and bought a house. Now it just remains to quit my job at Verizon and do the move — not a small task.

I’ll certainly have more to blog about this year. Guess I’ll even have to change my blog title to “Desert Communications!”
