Well, that’s business folks. No one likes surprises but I walked into work this morning to find out that my division has been sold. It’s been in the works, hush hush, for the past two years/six months and as of this morning, I now work for a new company.
I’m stoked about this. Our division can finally grow, open up new opportunities for those of us sitting in the archives, and allow us to hire on some new help/fresh blood. I’ll admit to being a bit nervous about what’s going to happen to our benefits and PTO, and where our office is going to move at the end of the year but, by golly, I NEED SOME CHANGE. I’m looking at this as an opportunity to grow, to develop my career, and see what I’m capable of.
It’s been a big year so far, and it’s only going to get bigger.
In other news, my asshole neighbor came home last night while I was out front tending to my garden. He mentioned that they had also been thinking of moving but with three kids and all of that work, it seemed impossible “what with the stacks of boxes in the den and our daughter’s toys and our two boys and their things and …” Then this morning, I woke up to discover bags upon bags of trash and recycling in front of their house. Closet cleaning, eh?
I think about how long it took me to get our house ready and it’s just the two of us so I don’t want to feel threatened but this asshole rides our coat tails all over Central Maryland and it drives me absolutely bat shit crazy. I’m not in this homeownership for the competition. I do everything for me because I like to have nice things and care for them.
Matt said, “We did the lawn. He did the lawn. You did the garden. He did the garden. We put our house on the market. What do you expect?”
Oh well, whatever. Asshole can put his house on the market all he wants. We aren’t in the same market for house styles so it’s no skin off my teeth. Our house will sell when it sells. With or without him.
