Random musings in a fugue state...

I had to burn some shit to the ground. Had a good job. Really enjoyed it. Was a bit below my qualifications, but I was Making a Difference. And there were Opportunities. Then they reshuffled and I went to a new manager and a different department. And the opportunities turned out to be as solid as a military recruiter's promises. For more than a half a year I've been miserable. But I've held on. Because I'm almost ready to buy another house. And mortgage companies frown on loans to the unemployed. But it has gotten so shit and terrible and unhappy and I've always stood on principles--maybe to my detriment, I dunno, I've done OK overall.

I tried to start a business. Didn't get my zoning because of good ol' boy politics. Sold the land for 3x what I paid for it. I tried to buy a house the usual way but couldn't get a mortgage in spite of having enough money invested to buy the house for cash. Did just that. Sold the house for 3x what I paid for it 8 years later. If nothing lines up, I've still got enough money to buy an investment property for cash. I'd rather not. But I'm rambling. Point is, my job went to shit and there was no way to save things so today I put in my notice--even though the sane rational side argued to smile and eat shit until I could take some vacation and chill a bit and try to find a job better suited to an MBA USMC Major with a 135 IQ within the company. But my heart told me it was time to move on. OK. Maybe I didn't burn anything to the ground. I did my best to convey I liked the company (although I see some serious problems with it) and didn't tell my Idiot Boss she was worse than useless. But it definitely makes some things more inconvenient.

Thank God our President Trump has lowered unemployment to the lowest point in my lifetime and there are more jobs out there than job hunters. It will probably all work out. Otherwise I can always fall back on quadriplegic transsexual humiliation porn. Like the Highwayman. :)
