New job, new beginnings 👩🏻‍⚖️

fleur (65) in life • 8 years ago

I'm getting ready to leave a job after 10 years and a lot of personal and work related changes.

I am super organised and I have taken some very definitive steps already 👩🏻‍⚖️:

I have stopped being concerned about fee earning which is very liberating when there are targets all the time;
I have blown the whistle on some work-place nepotism which is much talked about but no-one has had the nerve to call it out; and
I have begun the task of decluttering papers and also electronic documents which span over 10 years.

I have had to work from several different locations recently and this will increase with my new job, so I need to learn to rely more on electronic resources and try and "go paperless"!

The task of decluttering office papers has had a knock on effect on my personal life and I have been shredding old diaries. I feel that a new chapter is beginning with my promotion and that by shredding my old diaries, I am looking forward and not clinging to the past. It is rather a cathartic time. 📚

I am hoping to find satisfaction in my new job in spite of it being a rather high pressured role. I intend to focus on the positive changes, not least the pay increase, enhanced role and reporting to a line manager that I respect and trust.

Having a two week break between jobs to spend with my family on holiday in the sun will immeasurably restore and renew my spirit ☀️

First let me wish you the best on this new season of your life. I think you were spot on about how decluttering will help you let go of the past. A new job can feel like a roller coaster of emotions, but things will balance out and you will achieve new heights. So enjoy your family and the holiday, and then go kick butt in their new job!

They recently eliminated my position at work. The way I look at it, I am about to get a wonderful new job somewhere. Life is all about how you handle change. Have a great day. @Photosbydebra

I'm also in the process of looking for a new job. Good luck in your ventures and make sure to get the most out of that down time so you aren't feeling regretful about it later
