The thoughts and musings of coming to terms with turning 50 and what I want to be when I grow up.

And tell me why I like this?

Dateline - Fort Smith, AR - This has been the least bumpiest week in quite awhile. So why am I reconsidering looking at other job opportunities? Well, EVERYTHING!

The product that I am working on needs lots of help. Will it work for some of the customers that I consult for? Yes. But, in many cases, it brings up more issues than it solves.

There have been soooooo many signs telling me it is time to look, that to ignore them would be foolish.

Hey, I just celebrated my 50th birthday and if I am going to expend this much energy, there has to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or it has to be on MY project.

On the other hand, I wasn't treated as good as I am in seemingly this dark time than I was at my previous employer during not just good, but great times. And that HAS to account for something. Trouble is, I am not sure just how much.

At this point, I think one of two things could happen. They could shut down the project and I could easily be out of a job (not a good or fun prospect to look forward to) or it could take another two years to get it right.

I know that right now I am mentally and physically beat. And I am not having much fun, other than to laugh with my co-workers about the situation that we find ourselves in. Hey, it is better than crying, but not half as good as drinking:)

So I continually ask myself why I am here. But that is for another time/entry.
