Territory 64...where are you???
....I need to go to bed, although I am not really tired yet. Both Browneye and I took a kick-ass nap earlier in the evening.
Everything, as usual, has been stressful :-(
I am at work, and, as I figured, they are not hiring anyone to replace me, but rather absorbing my territory into 2 other people's.
So goes territory #64. When I first started, it was an active, vibrant territory...busy and bustling. Now it is a shell of its former self. Not because I had driven it down into the ground, but because of the technological change...I have very little retail and mostly professional offices and institutional type stuff. Most of that is done via phone, fax, and agency...I used to see a lot more people 15 1/2 years ago than I do now.
I remember being overwhelmed because I was so busy. I had a tremendous amount of restaurants and nightclubs...I even had a titty bar (boobies!!!).
Times are a-changin'.
It's nice when the credit department comes with this problem and that problem, that it will now become Someone Else's Problem.
Woooo Hooooooo!!!!
I have had many people come up to me and wish me luck...and also tell me that they wish they had the nerve to do what I am doing...that I'm getting out of there and will be free.
:::sigh:::
I'm still not as jubilant as I hoped I would be.
I'm not unhappy though. I think I would be horribly depressed if I knew that I would have to work there til I was 65...wallowing in my own stagantion.
To my young readers -- truly think out and try to decide what you want to do with your life. I never took career seriously because I always thought (delusionally so) that I would be a kept woman...a lady of leisure...
