Bridge Burner (Let It Burn)

I’m a total bridge burner. Some people would say that’s not a good thing. My thoughts are some bridges need to be burned. I kinda break it down to the basest of levels and I think, “if this person were dead, they wouldn’t be there anyway, so I’d get over it”, or “this isn’t the only company in the big city and I have great references, so eff em”. I’m kinda feeling like that right now about my job…it’s amazing what people think they can say to you or about you once you’ve given notice. The BS really starts to come out of the woodwork. I view it as sign that I’m suppose to be going on this journey, because my job is sucking big time, and this is after getting the job I had been applying for, for over a year. The sign, it’s telling me…Terri, thank goodness you got the job, and you’ve done the work, and now you know, it’s not you, and you’ve learned you’re not leaving anything. And, as mentioned in a prior post…it’s time for me to work on the projects I’ve long wanted to do but didn’t have the energy, because I was giving it “up to the man” 10 hours a day. “The Man” was giving me a decent paycheck…so I can’t complain about that…like I’ve said…the only thing I will miss is the check…but then again…with what my husband is making…we won’t miss that money at all. My life has definitely taken a turn down a road I would have never expected, and you know what…sometimes bridge burning is a way of going forward and not looking back. And, that’s exactly what I’m doing.
