The news was made official late this afternoon. The All Staff email announced my departure at the end of May, I'm moving to Florida! What the all staff email did not disclose is that I have no plan... I am the planner without a plan.
May 24th I will walk through the doors of AMC, my first big kid job, for the last time. I will pack up the vibe with whatever it will hold and I will head due south. No job, no where to live, no plan. I've been thinking about the big move for a long time now, hemming and hawing, considering my options. This process included considering numerous states, including ones I had never been to before (there was a time when I was convinced I wanted to live in Denver!). But then I sat back and realized, if I kept thinking about it, that's all it would ever be, just thinking... (I may have been accused of over-thinking many parts of my life in the past). So, I bit the bullet, talked to my director this past Monday with the news that I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do, but I knew I was going to do it. I set the timer for 1 month...
So, instead of spending this valuable time to look for a job, to form a plan, I have decided to start a blog. Now, I have to admit... I'm not a blogger. I think blogs are dorky, not my style. But, this whole experience is about a brand new adventure for me. Breaking out of my comfort zone and trying things I hadn't before. Plus, this just might be the sort of thing that I won't even believe I did if I don't have the proof. Follow me as I fumble along and figure out what and where I am going to end up...
Synchronize your watches... I leave Illinois on May 29th.
