I know it sounds like a contradiction but it worked for me
Being laid up with a fever may not be the best way to think thru life’s problems but it was just the forced vacation I needed. The time allowed me to do nothing but think. And though I still have not made that final decision, I’m pretty sure I know what it will be.
I’m not happy trying to work in this corporate world. After years of a proven track record, I’m still made to fight for everything I need and deserve. I was all set to go in and quit but decided to wait. One reason is that they are sending me to Paris for ten days. I never really wanted to go to Paris, but what the heck … it’s free.
Yeah, I know. I’m tempting karma on this one and I know I’ll have to work while I’m there. Once I get back to NYC, I’ll need to seriously reposition myself. Not take things so seriously at work. If they’re going to treat me as a cog, then I’ll be a cog. Maybe then my head will be as clear as it was this week and I can think of my exit strategy. (Ouch … sounds so corporate!)
