My current position has not really worked out, I've known that for a while, and had planned to migrate to contract with them in January, so that I could branch out and explore new opportunities.
That decision has come to fruition, just a couple of months ahead of schedule. I'm going to be moving to full-time contracting as of Nov 1, and I'm both excited and terrified of the opportunities this will present to me. The old adage "be careful what you wish for..." keeps resounding in my head. :-)
I have a lot of emotions in my head right now about the transition, and the decision, but I'm going to focus on the positive ones - I'm really proud of the work I did in the last ten months, and I'm proud I had the gumption to jump out of my comfort zone and try something different. You can't make the horse drink the water, there are things that I couldn't control, but I did the very best I could, and I'm happy with that. I've made some good friends, that I hope will continue to stay in contact with me after the transition, and I've burned no bridges. I'm blessed with a supportive partner who is encouraging, empathetic and an excellent cheerleader, and I've got a nice little office set up that I'm looking forward to working in, not to mention two excellent "assistants"...
More later.
