It's been awhile.

Listening To: Apocalyptica - I Don't Care feat. Adam Gontier
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.
