I didn’t want to say anything on here until everything was set in stone and it was a done deal. This past year I have been taking on more work at the day job, gradually increasing my technical skills and putting my name out there. All the hard work paid off and I got a promotion! And this promotion comes with a long overdue pay increase and bonus. This pay increase will make a HUGE dent in our lives. HUGE! No more ‘creative’ financing and most importantly…NO MORE SECOND JOB! The second job was just becoming a thorn in my side and I was just not having any fun anymore. It’s time to leave.
I am so excited at where I’m at in my job. I have always had faith in my company and I feel like I have been rewarded for hanging in there for tens long years. It wasn’t until I moved to the tech side of the company that I realized how much opportunity there was for me to grow. My boss and most importantly my team is encouraging me to grow. I am very lucky to have the support to learn from the ground up. For once I feel like part of the team. Which is huge for me, three years ago my team hated the idea of me.
Leaving he second job also means that I will have more time for my hobbies. I started working on the quilt top but I soon realized that I need a sewing machine with a walking foot. I tried the generic walking foot but it didn’t fit. So I’m now looking at new sewing machines. I will also be upgrading my Canon Rebel for a new Canon 7D, which I am really excited about. I plan on taking full advantage of my six weeks off from work to dive into all my creative impulses! This is going to be fun!
