Round and Round we go....

Damn, I haven't written anything in over 3 weeks. It's not like I had nothing to write about, it's just been that I'm either burnt out from the day's/week's work to streamline my thoughts for a blog, I'm out of town, have company or just simply can't be bothered....

Work has been coming increasingly stressful. We're in the planning stages of initiating layoff's and doing due dilligence for layoff's is a MoFo. For all the money they pay me I wonder if it's worth it, but then I realize after all the complaining I do I really do love my job. Since my last post I've been to So. Florida, Detroit, Providence and Boston twice....all job related. A few months back on my blog I mentioned that my boss was trying to get me to move/transfer to California so his new hire "Golden Boy" from Notre Dame could replace me in my area. Well...."Golden Boy" quit on Monday, yup gave his two weeks notice. Dude barely was with the company 6 months, he's leaving to become a Regional Director for Pier 1.

Well we were at dinner in Ft. Lauderdale after all day labor meetings when this cat told me that he just accepted an offer for $145K plus quarterly incentive and annual bonus the Pepsi I was drinking almost came up through my nose. Funny thing though...I was thinking about it back in my hotel room and began to smile to myself thinking, because if this dude can get somebody to pay him $145K then I can get somebody to pay me $160K (I hope). I have everything he has and more experience in all facets of Labor & HR and he's working on his Masters just like me, but I do have to acknowledge that Notre Dame degree can make a difference.

I have discovered some very unsettling things about NYL since our return from DR a few weeks back. So much so that I have decided to walk away from this for the most part. It won't be a sudden break but separation has already begun. As I write this entry she has called me 4 times leaving 3 minute messages each time. Calling this chick devious is an understatement but she says she did it for love, because she loves me. She says it's all a misunderstand and she's sorry but its what I need to pretty much wrap this up whole thing up. I have to write about it at some point, maybe that will help get out outta my system but right now I don't have the energy or patience to. I'm still very civil and even continue to spend time with her but nothing like I use to. It's evident to anyone that it's time to bounce.
