This weekend Needles and I headed north to Casey. Home to everything BIG. Needles was wanting to get her yarn and fiber fix while I was intrigued about not only the largest knitting needles and crochet hook in the world, but also the largest wind chimes, golf tee and future home of the largest rocking chair. Needles got her fix so we headed back toward home with a stop in Olney for Chinese food. We had a good day and hope to go back on not such a gloomy and rainy day.

Che Che Che Changes..,


Little did I know that 2015 would be the year for some drastic changes but that is indeed what it has turned out to be. I recently applied for another job and was lucky enough to get it. This is how fast it went down. I found out the position was open on a Thursday and talked to HR, sent in my resume the following Monday and had an interview the next Thursday and was "officially" hired the next Monday. So it all happened in about a week give or take. I have been in my current position for almost 9 years and I think things were getting frustrating. Maybe a little too frustrating for my taste and some things that were coming down the pipe could make the job even more frustrating. Although I don't mind a challenge from time to time, the idea of going through what we did 5 years ago on top of a interface that could possibly blow up in our face made the job less palatable. I do hope I am wrong about this. The position I considered a couple years ago became available so I made the move. The decision was not an easy one and I hate that I will not be working with the friends I made in my current position but I think in the long run the move will be better for all involved. I have a couple of days left and I start my new job Monday. I am excited and a little bit scared but I am sure things will work out. It's hard to go from one of the people in the department known as the "go to" person when things don't work to the newbie on the block. One funny thing is that I started this blog a week or so before I started my current job. We will see what the future has in store for the blog also. Maybe some changes.
