6 Months Later

I still can't believe I have been at my new job for 6 months already. In some ways it feels like just yesterday I was looking for a job and stuck in my basement but yet in other ways that feels like a lifetime ago already, and I've put it so far behind me, hoping not to look back. To say that the last 6 months at work have been awesome and such a great experience would be an understatement. I truly feel so appreciative for the opportunity I've been given and it continues to amaze me every day just how much more I enjoy work.

I felt like I needed to talk about my new job again on my blog. Since in many ways it has been the main driver behind my lack of posting lately. The days and weeks have just been flying by since I "went back to work." That is what I say anyway. Not that I wasn't working before this, but I just felt so disconnected from everything before. I really feel like such a new person since I have started this new job.

I'm not going to lie, I do still think about it from time to time, and remember just how unhappy I was. I honestly believe that I was truly depressed by my old job and the situation that was not good for me. Switching jobs was the best thing I have ever done. It truly made me realize just how much I was missing out on before and how just how much experience I actually didn't have. I was actually brought into my current job a level lower than my coworker who is the exact same age and has the exact same amount of experience. Yet it is the difference in experience that makes all the difference.

I certainly don't regret or begrudge her that I am a level below. Truth be told I'm actually 100% ok with it and feel like it is the appropriate level for me. I know I still have a lot of learning and catching up to do. But one thing I do know for sure is that every single day I am at my job is a day that I am learning new things and catching up my skills, and most importantly enjoying every crazy day that is thrown my way. I feel am grateful for this opportunity and feel like it was absolutely meant to be. While it's not perfect and does have it's challenges, there is no such thing as a perfect job, but this one is def a match for me for the time being that's for sure!!! (even if it means less posts on my blog for the time being....)
