So, the endgame to the work sitch.....
...which was becoming untenable. In the space of 72 business hours, I had a call from a headhunter, the hiring manager set up an interview, an interview happened, and an offer was made.
Which doesn't commonly happen in my line of work.
While no situation is perfect, I have more days behind me than ahead of me. I can't afford to wait for things to be better to be happy. And if that means changing my situation, situation, be changed.
This week has been the calmest, just tying up loose ends and transitioning projects. And saying see ya later. Because there's no such thing in my business as goodbye.
And that's a good thing.
Just don't piss anybody off.
