As most of you are well aware, I am a deeply religious person. I firmly believe that God directs me in every aspect of my life-as long as I continually ask for guidance and keep my eyes, ears and heart open to what He is showing me. I have felt for a few weeks that AMG is not where I am supposed to be. I was frustrated with feeling that I was not really helping anyone and not using my talents to make positive influences in people's lives. A lot of this stemmed from limited client interaction. I sat at a desk all day and prepped tax returns. I love taxes. I do. It is really sick how much I love them, honestly. But even I need a little human interaction to make taxation exciting. I was not getting enough of that. Between the no talking rule and some very rude managers I made my decision to cease employment. I sent in a letter of resignation this morning and cleaned out my desk last night. (Thanks for the tip on the crate, Mom, it came in super helpful for packing up!) I talked to the big boss last night and expressed my feelings. He understood but told me things would not change. I didn't need to hear anymore, I was finished.
I feel liberated-for now. I am a little worried about where my next job lies and how long it will take to find it. I know that if AMG was not the right place for me that God will lead me to me to the place that is. I would appreciate your continued prayers and thoughts. Thank you.
In other news- someone at Kylie's office has MRSA. It is a really nasty bacterial infection that is no joke. She came to work with open boyles on her legs. Yuck! My heart goes out to this poor woman for having to deal with such a horrid disease but do not go to work! It is highly contagious! Use some sick time! Take short term disability! Do what you have to do not to spread it to others. Gross! My mom was freaking out about this yesterday and it prompted me to do some research. My skin itches thinking about it. Ick. Anyway, I thought it was kind of exciting news.
Jackson is doing really well at his new gig. He had to supply breakfast today so we sent in powdered donuts and the famous Petefish breakfast dish. I'll be interested to see how the guys he works with like it. We love it! A Christmas morning tradition! :)
MacKenzie and I plan to job hunt, clean, meet dad for lunch and go for a long walk today. She meets her new vet tonight at 5:15- I'm hoping we like her!
I know this has not been to most exciting blog and I am sorry. I feel a little lost in my own world right now and it is not easy for a planner like me to feel that way.

Hey girl! I am glad to hear you left your job. You did not seem happy and I know there is a better job out there for you. I just hope you find it quickly! :) MRSA is going around down here like crazy!!! I've talked to so many people who have it/had it/or know someone who has. It's crazy!! Anyway, good luck with the job hunt and keep us posted! Love you, miss you, D
We still love you very much and you can still do my taxes this year. I know that you are the only person who can make yourself happy. You need to find your own passion.
sorry about the job. something will work out, it always does. i can't believe you like taxes. eeewww. glad you are both feeling better. it's awful being sick in a new place. my micro students study bacteria and they don't like it. they start itching all over too.
I know that you will find the right place for you to be. I can remember Grandma Mary say how she could not understand one could go to work when they hated their job. Some wisdom from a great lady!!
MRSA is everywhere and if you have ever been in the hospital, you have been exposed. Just some get a very bad infection.
Hope MacK likes her new vet and the guys liked the yummy breakfast dish.
Love to all of you. Susie/Mom
It's a shame the job didn't work out, but I'm super proud of you for taking the bold step of leaving. Does this mean I should be headed down in a couple of weeks? (hint, hint..) I've been thinking about you a lot recently. In fact, a lady visiting from Denver was in the store today, and I told her I want to go to Denver to visit a dear friend of mine. I love you, darlin'! Give me a call when you get the chance. (and thanks for making me itch with all of that MRSA stuff....HORRIBLE! )
