Scattered Feelings and Thoughts...

As I sit here in my new home (city, state) almost coming up in a year since I've moved away from Denver. I realize so many things.... I'm happy as it can be... in my personal life that is. In my career life who knows that verdict is still out...

So many things have happened in 1 year since me moving... I absolutely love where I live! I'm living now with the love of my life in Tempe, Arizona which is in the Phoenix Metro area. I'm commuting to DEN still for work.

***Before I continue I want to apologize to who ever reads this if nothing makes sense... My thoughts are just scattered all over the place right now***

Since moving here to AZ I have learned many things about myself that I thought I would never like! I NEVER thought I would like living in the desert! But I actually LOVE IT! I still miss home (Houston, Texas). But this is my new home with someone I absolutely love! I have started playing soccer which I absolutely love playing!! I have started to mountain biking as well. So on the home front all is well and I'm very blessed for that.

On the work front all is CHAOS! Well in my opinion... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have been at my company for 9 years. Well coming up on 9 years this February. I have done SO many things for my company and have learned so many things in the several positions I held. I'm right now at a point in my life where I'm getting tired of the people I work with and the company I'm working for. The reason I'm getting tired of the people I work with is because they are constantly complaining about the same things over and over again! It's like they are NEVER happy! I understand you can't please everyone, I get that... But really when is ENOUGH! I get that our company is going down the tubes and we are in survival mode but we need to make some sacrifices to survive in this economy cause if we don't ALL of us will be with out jobs! Then on the other hand when do we as employee's for this company put our foot down and say ENOUGH too?! I once loved the company I signed up to work for 9 years ago but since the take over I can care less for it and that makes me really sad....

What also doesn't help either is the traveling public. They pay "$39" Dollars for airplane tickets and they expect the world! I mean really?! There are SO many "riff raff" traveling on airplanes now... It's not fun to fly anymore as a working crewmember or even as a passenger.

Combine both of those things mentioned above and equals missery! I just had 3 weeks off and I was happiest at home doing things at home around the house and being home everynight.

I talked to my partner about how I was feeling and the BEST advice I was given from him was "I think it's best and you owe to yourself to take a step back from work. Meaning drop hours." I think he is RIGHT!! I should not be making any rashinal decisions right now cause I'm speaking from emotion. The good thing is I'm working with a really good friend the whole month of January so that should help out BIG time. SO I look forward to that for next month. Come February if I'm still feeling the same way I'm feeling right now then I will take a step back from work and drop my hours.

I am very grateful I have a partner that is supportive in me stepping back from work for a bit. I think I need a sabitical....

I absolutely LOVE my line of work! I knew I wanted to be in the airline business since I was a very young age. So I know I'm in the right field but I think I just need to "re-charge" my batteries.

Again sorry for VENTING my feelings about this... I just had to write all of this down....
