Breaking up is hard to do...

Well OMG you guys. It turns out that working 40 hours a week just doesn't leave much time for leisure-blogging. 

(anyone out there willing to hire a full time blogger for about the same salary as a DPT make sure to hit me up...)

I dont know how you people with children manage to do anything but take a shower.

Presently I find myself at a crossroads.

A job to job interface if you will.

For those of you who have not experienced such a transition (i.e. my Dad, & Alex Trebec) ... 
& well, i guess also for those of you who have ... 

I would like to draw the comparison of a "break up."

As it stands, I have been unable to "break up" with my current job.

It appears that quitting a job is a lot like breaking up with a boyfriend (which, for the record I must be awful at considering I'm pretty sure my high school boyfriend still thinks we're dating despite the fact that we havent actually spoken since high school).

Even though he's a super nice, moderately good looking, decent kisser, who buys you stuff ... there's still just something about him that isn't right for you. 

(Sorry Ryan. I'm just not that into you. Your loss.)

Turns out breaking up with a job may be even more awkward than breaking up with a boyfriend.

And the new job prospects seem to be all I've ever wanted & more.

They wine & dine me with their fancy benefits packages & discussions about how they will treat me so much better (when in fact they will probably treat me pretty much the same, because lets be honest - we all have a type we cant get away from...) 

And I lap it up & buy their garble like the insecure, lazy eye, late bloomer that I am.

[PS whoever's child this is, I would like to adopt it immediately].

I sit in front of the mirror & rehearse my resignation speech just the same as i would a break up. (while simultaneously trying to decide if "crying" will be a help or hindrance).

"Its not you, its me - im just looking for something with a little more depth to it..."

"I just think its better if we end this before we both get too attached..."

"We can still be friends right?"

So do I really expect my current job to hit me with: 

"Well fine, I can do better than you anyway?" 

"Nobody else will love you the way I do."

"But...we were each other's firsts!"

To be honest...

Yes. I do.

All I know, is that just like my current job, & boyfriends past, when mom says it's time to re-consider, it might be time to re-consider.

THE END.
