Well this has been a very interesting week. Just a recap really quick when I first came back to NY, I worked a temp job for about four months. LOVED IT. The firm was great, people were superb, atmosphere was wonderful. I was filling in for a woman who was on maternity leave. However, they knew I was looking for a permanent position, and when it came, I had to leave. They tried to find a position for me, but the economy being what it is, just couldn't. I did tell them to call me if they ever had an opening, and have kept in touch with a few people.
On Thursday, I got the call from the administrator, and there is a position opened. It was offered automatically, and there are a few details to work out, but needless to say I accepted. It's not that I don't like the firm I am at now, but I liked the other one better. It is a little more money, but that really was not the reason. I just like the other firm better!
In terms of SG, I made a radical decision this week. Technically the divorce can be finalized at the end of the month, but since I have to fly back to Texas for it, I was going to finalize in March. I think I will have to hold off on that now because of the new job, but regardless...
SG and I had a conversation last month in which he expressed interest at being at the final hearing. He does not need to be since he signed and filed a waiver, but he said he wanted to be there. Well, this week I asked him not to be there. I told him that since this is not really what I wanted, it would make it too painful for me to see him. I reserve the right to be a little selfish with my emotions right now since I, for the most part, am back on solid ground. I told him he should trust me enough to know I am not going to screw him (like I want anything he has anyway). He emailed me back and said okay, he did trust me, and he would not go.
Of course, now, I am not going to take time off from a new job. It will have to wait until the summer.
I feel better...and am excited about starting a new job. Of course, giving my notice will be interesting...I will probably do that Monday or Tuesday after I speak with the admin at the other firm again...
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
