Everything always happens so fast for me. I've always been able to change things up on the fly. I'm here, I'm there, I'm coming, I'm going. Change, change, change! Let's just say I've been picking myself up and dusting myself off for some time. Life in the fast lane.
It started off as a normal fall work day or so I thought. Before I knew it I was back at home and on the phone to break the news. I was unemployed! Unlike most unemployed I was happy, excited and ready to hit the ground running. I was free!
The back story. Shortly after moving up island from surf city Canada I soon found myself between a rock and a hard place. Stranded in a new job and going nowhere fast. Basically I never fit in. No matter how hard I tried nothing worked. Once I realized this I gave up and started to plan my escape. I needed out and bad! Everyone good I knew was jumping ship for some reason or other. No one with half a brain seemed to stick around for long. Why should I? Who wants to be stuck in a job they hate? If you're not happy do something!
I had a plan! Scary I know. I was going to start using my brain again. I was going back to the real world! No more overbearing owners or bullying by some has-been college drop out manager (one of five I might add) who was hiding out from the real world. A real job is exactly what I needed. To be in a place where I didn't have to try to be I was!! No more lonely island inn for this guy. Movin' on up!
The Ace up my sleeve. Being down a lot more times than up at previous times in life I learned to become proactive and not reactive. I hated my job and they knew it. With one foot out the door I began seeking for my way out. That's when my nerd past came a calling. The day after becoming unemployed I emerged re-employed.
They say you can't keep a good man down.
Salutations to the real world, I'm back!
P.S. Just cause you pour syrup on shit don't make it pancakes
