I have given my notice to the doctor I have been working for since July. Where it has not been an easy decision, which was a complete surprise to me, it is one which is best for me. I have to be selfish and pursue this career opportunity which has been presented. A job which will give me full time hours, much better pay, benefits and vacation/PTO.
I never knew giving notice to a job which has been the source of such drama and frustration would be so hard. I thought I would walk in, give the note and be done. That is not how this went down at all. It started by me letting Theresa know, which was probably the hardest part emotionally as I truly do love working with her. It has been incredible working with such a fantastic person! Finding someone to work with that you actually enjoy is not easy. Even on my worse days, she has been the most kind, caring and wonderful person. When I am crabby she laughs at me and calls me Oscar. On really bad days she will quietly ask, "are you ok? Because you are scary today" I love how honest and true she is, and I love her heart.
When it came to the doctor, it was very difficult. I wanted to walk away on good terms as I have grown to admire and respect her. Yet, she can be tough to read and I did not want this departure to blow up on me.
The process thankfully went over well. Hopefully all the prayers I have been sending up gave me a buffer.
When it does come time to leave, I will actually be sad. This is something I most certainly was not expecting when I had to make the decision to seriously start looking for another job. Yet, here I am in the situation of being an adult. Much of what we do is not easy, yet it has to be done.
Big girl panties in tow, I am taking the steps to hopefully and finally be on the way to better my life.
