Career ruminations.....

[notafraid2dl]

It may be time to take a good hard look at my life - especially my job and career. I love what I do, I like having a flexible schedule but I certainly could use more money and I don't like some of the things that have happened lately. Most of the animals I take care of are wonderful. But, everyone once in a while I get a wild card. In December

With your background/experience, have you thought of opening your own pet care business? At the very least you would be able to screen the clients for suitability. It might be less flexibility/money, especially short term, and more responsibility - but it could be more satisfying. And heck, if you own the company, eventually it could be very flexible and even profitable.

Due to a contract clause, I cannot start my own competing business for a year after I end my current contract. I'm not sure I want to do this as my own business anyways. The portions of the business that make the most money are Day Camp and Overnight Sitting. I don't have the facility to d day camp (nor the transport) and I really want to be at home more.

I know we've discussed this lightly before...

Though I know the road might not be easy, perhaps it's time to look again at opening your own business. While there are opportunities out there, both you and I know that it's easier to go from a big company down than from a small company up.

You've had a LOT happen in the last few days, not to mention the last few weeks. I'd let this mellow a bit. Let your conscience be your guide.. just not now. Wait until the storm passes. Time will tell...

Can I find any other cliches?

Yeah, now is probably not the best time to be making major life changes. I have a tendency to reach for something I CAN control when everything else seems to be spinning out of control. Of course, if the past has shown me anything, it is that I don't always make the best decisions when I'm on this state.

I probably should be concentrating on getting out of my head and up off the couch.

I should probably log in before posting comments. :rolleyes:

I thought maybe it was Charles or one of the other kitties. ;-)

It's hard to know when to make such decisions at any other time. I seem to need a catalyst to do what I know I should. Otherwise, I just kick back in luge mode and let the days waste away, until the next crisis or whatever else that might serve as an impetus to action occurs.
