uncharacteristically
I posted earlier (if cryptically) about the work stress I'm experiencing right now. It's just getting worse and I've come to the realization that I have to start implementing an escape plan ASAP.
God, I hate this. I hate the thought of spending my weekend working on my résumé and my website and my contacts. (Especially when I want to spend it writing fic and reading books.) I hate that the Best Job Ever is now something I have to flee, not because the job itself sucks, but because the company is going under.
And I hate that things are going to change. I don't like change.
I'm in the position right now where I could either find a new job -- and I think I should be able to, at least I hope so -- or try to make a go of it with contract work. I'm a web developer/programmer and so it's the kind of thing that's easy to do from home, if you can get the work in.
I don't have kids or a mortgage and I've already paid off my student loans. I have a long-term partner who is employed. We're not going to starve or even have to cut off our cable internet. It's not the end of the world.
But that doesn't mean I don't hate it.
I need a pint of stout and a sappy InuKai.

Our company merged with another last Monday. Total shocker. That Monday was incredibly subdued and the subsequent two weeks have been very emotional.
But the good news is, I started a new job today, as I had had a few interviews the week before the announcement.
Anyway, what I'm saying is, change can be for the good. Good luck. :)

And I agree, it could be a good chance for me.
