Sorry for delay…
Ok so yeah, I’ve been busy as all get out. One with work. Two, motherhood. Three, with job search. I’ve really put this job searching thing in high gear. I think it ultimately came down to me knowing when enough was enough. Know what I mean? I had been thinking about making moves for what seems like FOR.DAMN.EVER.
After reading one of Kajuana’s post a few days ago….(I think it was last week) I was inspired to just do the damn thing. Stop talking about it and be about it dammit. Then once I talked to her and told her how much I admired her ability to get up and go and do the damn thing I said to myself - cuz you already know i revealed that i talk to myself from time to time - “Brown Sugar….it is high time that you make a career change. Step out there on faith.” KK…thanks for listening to me rant, rave and vent for the millioneth time about wanting to make a career change. *cyber hugs* Again, I really admire you darling! I believe it definitely boils down to me being scared to just step out on faith. I think I’m scared of not succeeding. Know what I mean? Funny thing is, I knew from the very beginning that this job was not something I could see myself doing for years. I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want to do this and that it truly, truly wasn’t in my heart. But….here I am today, 8 years later. Still doing the same damn thing. Although, I’ve progressed in my career here I’m still not happy.
I was taking this career evaluation questionaire. I came across this question.
“How long has it been since you examined your career path and measured its impact on your personal happiness?”
My answer didn’t focus on exactly how LONG it’s been but how OFTEN it’s been. It seems like every damn month I’m talking about how I really want to make a career change.
You’re probably wondering, “Brown Sugar, what is it that you really want to do?” Well let me tell you fine sirs and madams. Brown Sugar REALLY wants to break into television and/or radio production. I haven’t really tapped into either since I was in college. I moved to ATL with hopes of breaking into the industry. Things just didn’t work out that way and well, here I am doing what I’m doing today. *sigh*
***sidenote***See! I’m watching C.NN. WHY is there a plane about to make an emergency landing due to landing gear problem?!? And you wonder why the heck I’m scared to fly these days. Oh LAWD! I would have probably had a damn heart attack! I kid you not. Ok…Ok….so they made a safe landing. *grabbing heart*
***end sidenote***
What the heck was I saying? Oh yeah. Um…shoot forget it. My train of thought was totally thrown off after that sidenote. LOL Just know that I’m serious about making a career change.
I still need to get into my wedding weekend update. Just know that it wasn’t a good thing. Nothing good about it. I’ll attempt to do it prior to week’s end. Hey, if all else fails, we’ll be having an ATL bloggers drunkfest this Friday and I’m sure there will be all kinds of blogworthy material to give. LOL
