A mini update

The new company was officially launched Friday. Dollars and Sense Business Solutions is now up and running. I was at the firm on Friday to hand in my laptop, blackberry, keys etc and I stopped in to see a few people. H/R was first. They were wonderfully supportive and reminded me that I could come back to the firm anytime. I made it a priority to leave with the utmost professionalism and dignity. I always try hard to leave doors open behind me. It was a very positive exit, I must admit.

The last few weeks were tense and I was concerned it would get ugly. The firm kept coming back with counter offers and trying to convince me that staying with them was
the key to achieving balance in my career and family life. I was not happy when they threw the 'Mommy card' at me. I'm an intelligent person and I didn't make this decision lightly. I weighed every factor, envisioned worst case scenarios and ultimately made a decision that was right for me. I enjoyed the firm, very much and it's very possible that I'll find my way back someday. For now, I needed to try this new challenge of going it alone with the client.

Most important though; I'm on VACATION in three weeks!!!! We leave for Orlando on May 23rd and everyone is starting to get hyped. We rented a house in Clermont and it's quite lovely. The week includes trips to Disney, Universal Studios, Seaworld, Treasure Island, Aquatica etc...I have a camcorder and a digital camera so I'll have lots to share.

The home renovations are driving me crazy. The house is all clutter and it's diving my OCD over the edge. I know it'll be gorgeous when done but for now I'm ready to call in a steamroller and level the place.

You've now been updated.
