It's been awhile.

Word of the Day: Platyperson

Yup, that's right I wrote the word Platyperson.  Saw it in a post on Cracked.com . It was a blow pepsi out of my nose moment.  True Story.

Anywho...
I had the realization recently, that's it 2014.  I know that that's not something that should be obvious, and it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but it kind of was to me.  Where have the last 4 years gone?  Hell where have the last 7 gone?
I'm coming to accept the fact that the last 4 years have just been mostly spent being morose, depressed, generally unhappy.  And I let myself get into that state.  Sure my mom died, and that's a really big thing, but would she have wanted me being depressed for this long?  Hell no.
I've made changes, some good, some bad.
I left a company that I had a 7 year history with in 2012.  It was a great company, one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of working for.  However I let a couple of people in the organization get to me, let them take my power, let them take control.  I hit a low point, a very low point.  So, in March of 2012 I made a change.  I gave my notice, and took a job in an industry I knew nothing about.  Sometimes, when you take a jump of faith, and just do something, it can work out really really well.  This jump?  I landed full out on the bottom of the canyon floor with my face bashed into the stone, flattened and drained of life.

So, in August of 2013, I found myself once again, looking for a new place of employment.  It was dire straits again, but I tried to keep myself more positive in my outlook.  One day while out doing the job hunt thing, I passed a sign, not just any sign, but one that I'd passed at least 600 times.
The sign was for Bose, the company I left in 2012.  The sign was in the window of a little independent electronics dealer here in town.  I walked in, introduced myself, and landed an interview for the following week.
7 months later, I'm still there, I'm still happy.  My employer doesn't treat me as just a number.  I'm not belittled at work.  If I make a mistake, it's corrected and learned from.  Is there stress?  Of course, it's a job, but it's manageable. 

I'm hoping to truly keep more up to date on my blogging.  It's been way too long, and I haven't seemed to be able to stick to it for more than one or two entries a year.
