Changes

Yesterday, I got a new boss.

Let me start at the beginning. I had been working at Jones Lang LaSalle for 7 & 1/2 years.  Most of that time I was happy, even with my very long commute.

I live in Randallstown, Md and I worked in Tysons Corner, VA.  My one way commute ranged from 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on the traffic and weather.

The past year, I had felt stagnant at my job and my upward mobility seemed to be a distant promise.  The harder I worked, the more work I was given.

That sort of thing does not give you the motivation to give it your all.  I felt disrespected and unappreciated.

In September, I started a new job at a new company.  The new position is a promotion and is much closer to home.

Now my wife is much happier because we can actually have dinner together now.

About 2 weeks into my new job, my new boss quits without any notice.

I am now doing the job for 2 people, learning 2 new systems at the same time.  My regional supervisor is very supportive, but just doesn't have the time to really help very much in the day to day stuff.

Even though, I am working hard, it is still a much lower stress level than the previous job.

Now that I have more free time, I need to schedule some type of exercising to really help with my weight loss.

Later,

David
