resignation

After Amadon had talked to his boss it has become very apparent that he will have a very difficult schedule to work around. So we have concluded that I need to put in my resignation today. I'm sad and nervous about it. I wanted to quit eventually or become flex but I wasn't expecting this so soon. But it's important to support Amadon's career right now and if I can't work around his hours then I will have to take a bit of a break and maybe I fill find something better. I think I'm going to go back to school now. I am TERRIBLE at quitting jobs. I'm very wishy washy and try to stay on the work schedule somehow. I, technically can even go back and work at my last job in DL whenever I would want to. I can only give a 2 week notice instead of 4 so I'm afraid I will lose my 8 days of PTO which I'm a little upset about to. We were going to use that to go on a trip but Amadon has a drill weekend and it's also Adele's birthday. What can you do? Maybe there is a reason for this. Maybe there is a path I haven't yet discovered and quitting this job will lead me there. I am SOOOO nervous. I don't even want to see my boss but I also don't want to burn any bridges so I am going to do this as professionaly and with as much notice as I can possibly give. Breath in. Breath out. I hope this is the right decision. But then again, what other choice to we have? Unless, I could magically find daycare that works around our hours.

Now that we found you, why don't you tell everyone why you ruined Amber's wedding you loser.

Can't wait to hear these new excuses.

And Josie, you're not going to go back to school and are not going to get a better job. You're going to do nothing but what you've always done, and that is talk talk talk.

You never follow through, you just talk and blame everyone else for all your problems.

Also, you write about your new supportive great friends. Well, where the fuck are they?

Let's see Samantha,DC, Candace,Bruce, Tyson,Eric, Jason, Anthony and Dan are in Devils Lake. And they're not "new" friends. They are friends we've had for years that are really good friends.

Shawn and Doug are overseas but we email a lot and get to visit once they come home.

If you mean why aren't they blogging back a bunch of responses is that they don't need to. They know what is going on with my life, we talk on the phone, visit, and email. And most guys aren't into blogging.

I don't need a better job. I have the best one in the world right now. One that both Amadon and I decided would be the best thing. I have wonderful friends that love and support me that we have fun with and can talk to,a great family, a beautiful baby girl that's the center of my world, a wonderful loving and supportive husband that I've fallen for all over again, and really I am very content with our lives.
I wouldn't change a thing.

I might also add that Samantha has been my rock through everything and just a great friend. We've been friends for years and years and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful friendship. One that will withstand anything and isn't superficial at all.She has stood up for me and been there for me through everything. She has gone through so much and I see how some of her "friends" (not you at all Candace) don't even bother to see her new baby, or celebrate Ally's birthday, or her 21st birthday, or even say anything about the fact that she almost died and it pisses me off. She's such a wonderful person and she doesn't deserve people like that and they sure as hell don't deserve to even consider themselves a "friend". I don't need new friends because I already have the friends that I want and need. Yeah, I'd be open to maybe starting a friendship with someone in GF if the opportunity presents itself but I'm not looking for it. Things may be long distance but it only proves that much more how wonderful our friendships are. I wouldn't trade in 3 good friends for 10 people to hang out with. I like quality over quantity.
