So, yeah. I’m back. I think. It’s been a busy, hellish, weird, stressful week.
The Good:
And now it can be announced here in ye olde blogosphere: I. HAVE. A. NEW. JOB!!! YEY!! Finally to be free of Screamy McWhinypants. Yahooooooo!! When I told him I was leaving he was completely and utterly non-plussed. In fact, it almost felt like he knew somehow. But, whatever. I am free. Thank you, Universe, for deciding that I had completed what you put me there to do (still not sure what that was but okay, whatever). New job is just 30 miles a day/round trip vs. the 100/day I was doing with this one so less time in the car = a happier Lisa. And … less responsibility for everything in the world which is great because “been there, done that” and it sucks. And … pretty much the same compensation so it’s all good. I start Jan 30. Wish me luck!
The Bad:
Leaving Mrs. Tool-Time to fend for herself minus me and nice receptionist (who is leaving to be a mommy full time as soon as Summer deems it so). Screamy better appreciate her while he can. (But he won’t. He appreciates no one.) At least she knows what she is walking into unlike yours truly. I look back at the last year and a half and remark on how hellish it was and how I wouldn’t wish that on anyone (well, maybe Dick Cheney) so it makes my heart sad that Mrs. TT will have to endure it even for a short time. (sigh) I will miss working with her. She always manages to give me the straight line on things, opens my eyes when they most need it (for that, I will be in her debt always) and gives me reasons to laugh every day.
The Ugly:
Anger - she is not so preeeety. Especially when one (aka: me) tries to be as much love and light as possible. Universe, I get it. I must express my feelings and not let them come out sideways. Got it. Got it. 
Anyway, good stuff is on the horizon, I feel it. Maybe I will even get my (blog) groove back, hmmm?

Congrats Lisa on the new job! I am so glad this new position came through. I know how much you wanted this. Just thought about it though, will this mess up you trip west? Hope not. Great job….

Congrats on the job! Also, loving this new layout! I think my favourite bit is the signature and pen, and the handwriting font in general. Nice.

YIPPEEE on the new job/new commute/new boss!!! Are you going to have any down time between employments?
Anger is a tuff-ie. Like an octopus around my heart sometimes. I’m told that love is like oil to those tentacles.
Whew that was profound…I think I have to go lay down
Love YOU

YIPPEE for no more meanie!!!! I’m routing for you, course, you already knew that. Remember our conversation and everyone else (almost) will be behind you shortly. Cant wait for when you walk out the door for the last time doing some funky dance hollaring at the top of your lungs. Oh I will be waiting to see if I can hear ya all the way in BALTIMORE lol.
Love ya!!!!

You were there a year and a half? With as torturous as it was I was thinking you were there for much longer … or less than that at the same time … because that is how crummy jobs are! I am happy to hear that you have a new job.

OMG Im so glad I came by during this post! Im so happy for you!!!! Also, I don’t know if it helps but last night, I was listing my ABC love list for norm and I told him that I was glad he isn’t afraid to be mad. Mad can be good and powerful. If it doesn’t help im sorry. I missed you baby!
