Truthfully, I honestly can’t even recall how many times the “favorite season”, or some variation of this prompt has come up. In the past year, I swear I have seen it at least 10 times. 😄
Anyhow…
Amongst all the times I’ve been asked, my answer really has not changed. I would still give the nod to Autumn, with Winter as my second place pick.
Springtime is rough on me because of pollen and allergies, and Summer heat and humidity make my job tougher, because I work in fairly hot environments. Fall and Winter bring welcome relief for this simian.
Fall for me, thanks.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, onto other stuff.
Today marks my penultimate day on the current job. While I am looking forward to the future, it is with a slight mix of emotions.
As I have written previously, there are a lot of things that I will not miss one bit.
More than anything, as is usually the case, it’s some of the people I will miss the most.
Rapidly coming to a close.
While there are some monumental pains in the ass there, there’s a fair number of good folks too. Unsurprisingly, the majority are not in upper management. 😄
That being said, I am grateful for the time I had there, and I wish everyone there the best. I hope at some point, things improve and it is far less frustrating than the current situation.
I also know that no job is totally peaches and cream, so I go into my new one optimistic, but also with a dose of realism. It is called “work” and not “fun”, after all. And sure as the sun will rise, there will be annoying days.
At this point, I am just hoping for a slightly fairer balance.
Just a bit. Not asking for much.
I think if you can go into work and the ratio of good to bad days is slightly tolerable, you’re far ahead of the curve these days. The bigger piece is not going in daily with an absolute sense of dread. Once you hit that point, it’s essentially game over.
I had hit that point. Hence the reason I am moving on.
I have felt like a bit of a nomad the past year, and hopefully this is it for at least a little while. I’d like to pitch my tent for what feels like more than a minute.
Yeah, camping out for a few would be kinda cool.
While I am totally okay with the concept of moving on in the name of improvement, I would like to at least get a solid year in somewhere if at all possible. It’s been more than a minute for that.
Anyhow, the next few days/weeks should be interesting.
Off into the big, wide world I go again! 😄
Have a great one, people.
Stay safe and healthy, and…
Frosty. As always.
