Let's Have an Update, shall we?
Nov. 9th, 2024 04:42 pmFirst, uuuuuuuuuugh......politics. At this point, I'm just in denial and believe Elon and Putin rigged it with some election interference. I've decided not to pay attention right now because....
I'm looking for a different job. Seems I haven't posted since August and so much has happened since. We found out that not only did we almost lose our jobs, they're selling our building. Thankfully, other departments vouched for us. Our building holds all of the property for events and provide it all, shipping to regional meetings, Annual Meeting and Expo West. They couldn't do it without us.
But of course, they could farm out the work to a 3rd party. Thing is, while I'm grateful to have my job, I do NOT want to have to wear a hard hat every day when we'll be in our own room. It took me 8 yrs to get out of a warehouse with regulations. After 11 yrs in my current job, what used to be my dream job that I worked so hard to snag, has totally changed and I want to change MY life before the big move happens.
But what? HOW? Where? I know I want to remain working through the 1st of 2025, till my january HSA deposit comes. Then I'll be able to totally pay the remainder of our bill and be done with it. Seems it's hard to find a job where I'm paid enough, has benefits and could maybe work from home, not a requirement though. But what would that be? No degree so I don't have much to make me desirable and feel it's too late.....unless I did a 2 yr medical coding course, but I hear that's getting more and more competitive.
Looking at things to do online but that would take time; print on demand etc. Arrgh, I just don't know. Of course I'm keeping my eyes open for jobs internally...but all that's offered is production. Maybe I should look into Kwik Trip again....UGH.
BTW, baby Iris was born on Oct 29, the day before daddy's birthday. Zoe chose to go as natural as she could, for as long as she could. 17 hr comes around and she says to break her water (she wanted her body to do it naturally). 15 min later she's here! 6 lbs 14 oz and 19 inches long. Those 2 extra weeks of baking made her bigger than her sister lol.
Our trip to Orange Beach was lovely and I felt very grounded on the beach. I think I'll move there someday....
