It is Wednesday evening. A few hours ago I turned all of my ongoing work to my back-ups who will be covering for me as I take a much needed recovery vacation. I am working on winding down tonight with some Malbec. I have been freshly waxed. My nails are done. My pedicure is lovely. I am not packed, however all of my dress clothes for dinner each night are layed out along with the coordinated wig for each night, and all of my accessories.
I will have 4 days in Orlando, with no car, at a beautiful resort, with my Kindle and a lounge chair to prepare for a wonderful cruise after that. I really get frustrated that it will take me several days to detach from my job that I really do not like at all, so that I can enjoy a vacation of fun with friends. I recovered last year from a terrible fourth quarter at work. This year my only plan is to get a new job. One that makes sense to me and is black and white. I am so done with the gray.
It is not going to be an easy change. I am actually studying now for my Series 26 exam. My goal is to get that license so that I can hopefully get one of several positions that will be opening up this year. Having this certification will bump me up in the list of candidates as it will be one less thing I need to do in order to move into the role.
I am grateful today that this year I will get 31 days of paid vacation that I can take at any time I want. And my almost 2 week vacation is only costing me 7 of those days. It is going to be a good year! Looking forward to the full 2016!
