FWIW ((For What It’s Worth)) I really have something for working with companies who refer to themselves by acronyms.
WTF!
Somewhere during the first few days in August I started realizing that my boss at AEC treated me differently when compared to all of the other managers. Of course at first and I did think that this was only in my head and wasn’t really happening, although after coworkers, co-managers and clients told me I finally realized that I was correct. While she runs the Operations side of AEC smoothly ((according to her boss and the owner of the company)), it became clear that she really didn’t want me to succeed in the future plans that were laid out for me by the owner. Without bringing this very positive post down, let’s just say certain events happened that broke the proverbial camel’s back and thanks to Jim’s friend Jim ((Jim has a friend named Jim, coincidence?)) I had a new job in under three days. Approximately five days later I resigned from the position of American Executive Centers’ IT Manager. In just a little over three weeks my new job will start – wow – I’m a little nervous.
On September 4th ((the first business day of September)) I began my new job at IBC, a small IT company providing IT solutions for small banks in Southeastern Pennsylvania. During my first month of employment I’ve already assisted in setting up new clients, provided a method to invoice for the bandwidth client’s use and other geeky stuff that most people reading this post don’t really care about. I guess all that really matters is that after working with this new company for just about a month, I still believe it was and is the best decision for me and my future family! 🙂
Leaving AEC did have one huge negative that I honestly didn’t think was going to be as tough to overcome as it actually was; I missed Megan. We spent the last two years driving to work together, eating lunch together and having the ability to stop in and say hi to each other almost every day. Leaving this behind was very difficult for me during the first two weeks at IBC. Now it seems that I’m okay not having this added bonus in my daily work regiment, although don’t get me wrong I still miss her throughout the day! :heart: It’s just now I treasure the time we do have just a little bit more then I did before, which is a really great thing to have more of! Plus we now have lots more to gossip about in the evening! Of course we still email throughout the day! 🙂
Hopefully IBC remains the job I believe it is and develops into my future career – looking very forward to the next couple of months to see where my employment takes me… ((dot dot dot…))
