definitely on the count

down...after the last few days and the shocking behaviour of our CFO, I really have resigned myself to resigning (resigned myself to resigning - sounds kinda cool) as soon as the 2014 bonuses are paid in March 2015...

I no longer want to work with someone like him, and not just him, there are a couple of others I also find unprofessional, rude and downright untrustworthy....

so, the plan for 2014 is to save as much as possible so that come March 2015, I can in fact ask my boss if she'll give me 3 months off to have an extended break, and if she says no, then i'll probably just resign...

of course, it's easy to say that now, and the thought of walking away from an easy (well, mostly) $440k plus each year won't be easy, but it has to be better than the alternative, which is sticking it out with people who don't share my values, are driven by money and image, and largely, have fuck all integrity...

so, the next year not only do I need to focus on saving, but also on developing some excellent network/relationships so that when I am looking for work (not to say I won't also look for a new job this year too), I will have made some inroads....

good thing is I'm clear what I want to do; either a slightly bigger HRD role or an org dev role in a massive organisation...

great to be clear...

so universe, I have always been extremely fortunate in my career, and I'd like to feel that the same fortune will shine on me this time too...ideally, I get back from the US in early December this year, start gearing up for the conversation with boss, and instead my dream job presents itself....of course, resigning can be done any old time with a similarly paying role to go to....

so, one meeting tomorrow, and two more in a couple of weeks and the networking/relationship building has begun....

on other things; feeling pretty good! healthy eating and personal training starts tomorrow, determined to shed 7.5kgs before 8 November....other than the odd irritant at work, life is pretty good...oh, and think I have a date Tuesday night....yay :-)
