Promises promises

....or should I say, "Resolutions resolutions...." I promised myself - ahem - resolved to write in my blog, 'frequently' this year. Why? Well because 2011 is the start of my life, at least that's how I feel - more so than I've ever felt before. The last entry, i.e. the first I wrote was all about how I had quit my job to seek out an idea - to really make something of myself. I was so naive - I AM so naive but I'm doing it! And by the way - this blog writing stuff? Having the reader read and think I'm something isn't the idea, it's no self fulfilling prophecy, it's more a challenge to myself - created to track me in what I'm doing. This is way more for me than for you (is there a "you" ?) - TRUST.

Here I am approximately 2 months and 1 week into job resolution - mind you, when I gave my two weeks notice, it creeped into 6 weeks. We all thought the 6 week window was a welcome opportunity to hire, then train my replacement....low and behold 6 weeks in, came my last day - nearly all contact had been lost with my boss and "mentor" and I quickly discovered that 6 week window? It was only a stretch of time dreamt up in order for others to try and convince me my place was in fact at that specific company. Convincing attempts came complete with me winning a prize including a lump some of cash! Not complaining, but not staying! I'm relieved I didn't fall for any of the shenanigans. Then again, I suppose if I had it would have shown me and everyone around me that I wasn't ready for the challenge of entrepreneurship. But I'm ready.

Friday, January 14th was my last day. Some wonderful's from my office took me out to get wasted, then proceeded to post some VERY let's just call it was it was, UGLY, photos of me the next day - displaying my debauchery complete with squinty eyes and a mouth that is most definitely drooling as well as slurring any words that came to mind at the particular moment in time. With the exception of a less than five minute convo with HR regarding my unsolicited advice about how my roll would be filled, my last day was just like any other - OH and the fact my computer was SHUT off at 5:30 on the dot. That didn't suck! I was of the mind set, that me finishing my work wasn't important enough to these people so "F it!" Let's move on.

Monday the 17th, I was ready to dive in. Friends, supporters, were texting me and inquiring as to how my first day of the rest of my life was going....I sheepishly replied, "It's Martin Luther King Junior Day - day off." Its true, my family was off from work, so of course I'm going to spend the day with them....but it was kind of funny. Lucky for me, I've been seriously busting my ass ever since the following Tuesday (the 18th) and things are really starting to happen!

What is this mysterious idea of mine?

Wellllll..I have to go to work - so I'll tell you later
