So basically I'm all over the place right now. There are fifty different things going on and I'm having a hard time keeping my head on straight. My company was just acquired by another company and while this is a good thing there are a million different questions and not nearly as many answers. What further complicates this is my wife just finished grad school and applying to jobs all over the country which may require me to move. On top of that I'm thinking of going back to Grad School before my wife and I start a family. (We figure we can figure out how I can finish if we start having kids after I've started. If I start a family beforehand I may never go back.) . . . .
*shifting gears*
The above paragraph was written months ago. Not exactly sure when, but sometime in summer of 2012. Obviously a lot has changed since then. My wife is gainfully employed at a local university and we didn't have to move after all. In regards to my job . . .well . . .let's just say we got our answers.
Currently I'm a month away from my last day in this job. We have been laid off . . . sort of. The new company decided to close our local office and move it out of state. I could have kept my job if I moved with them. My wife had just been hired two weeks prior to this announcement. So, there it is. I had to give up my current position. Thankfully I was asked to stay until March 1st.
Needless to say, I have been looking for a job since then. I have some prospects that may pan out. Here's hoping. I also have since decided not to go to grad school. I realized, that as much as I want to get a doctorate, I don't really have the desire to go through the motions. My heart wouldn't be in it.
What my heart is into is acting. I have decided to become a voice over talent. My voice is a big part of why I'm a good actor. So I'm going to use that.
Funny how life is. I'm hoping the whole, "closes a door, opens a window" thing holds true here. I had become complacent in my job. I wasn't striving for anything. Except maybe for a raise. While I'm planning on getting another job similar to the one I have now, it is simply because we need money to save. I will continue to work toward my goal. I just hope my brain doesn't decide to find fault in this endeavor as well. It often does. But it is different this time. My wife is supporting me. And I really think this is what I want to do. Let's see what happens.
