indigo_rose99I hate change. Hate it, hate it, hate it!
Big life changes are particularly scary. Yesterday just before going out on my Valentine's date with T, I got both the job offer and the money number. It is.... respectable. And more than I'm making now. Enough more to make a difference in the mortgage payment that is ballooning in March because the mortgage company CAN demand I pay that much. T thinks I should just flat take the new job. I'm going to meet with my current boss this morning and talk about the future of my current company and job. And of course, if he can at least attempt to match the new job offer. I told the HR guy for the new job that I would at the latest give him an answer on Thursday.
Ack, but this is terrifying. I hate the thought of leaving my current company. So many things undone! I would totally want to take 2 weeks to just finish out the things I'm working on. Which leads directly to the thought of what if my current boss cannot match their offer? Or attempt to? So much change!
More travel. Expected 25% for at least a year or longer. Domestic only to middle-of-nowhere. And still persistent travel to the same boring location after that, but perhaps a little less often.
I haven't worked for a large corporation in... um... 16 years? I'm out of practice in adjusting to the weird things large corporations demand of their employees. Ok, yes, I now view them as weird. Small companies are surprisingly flexible about things.
Ugh. Just working through my freaking out.
