I will be updating this blog soon! This weekend in fact! I have so much to tell you, and I should break it into a few different entries so that I don't write a novel all in one space or time frame.

Just know that approximately a week and a half after being terminated from my previous job, I ended up getting hired in a different company...a smaller one (much smaller). Get this: higher salary than what I would have even gotten with that raise I had been promised, higher position, more responsibilities, and a total awareness by the owner of the company and my boss (one of the directors) of my website and the photos it contains. I went into the interview with a totally honest and forthright approach, and after five hours of talking with two directors and the owner himself, I was hired.

I've read all of the comments and suggestions regarding what transpired, and I will discuss everything in those replies as well as discuss exactly what my emotions were, how my emotions changed as the days flew by, and what the reasoning was behind each and every one of my decisions since that afternoon.

Thank you for being patient with me! I've actually been suffering from a mean case of writer's block. It's frustrating. The words sit in my mind, just mocking me. And the computer screen remains blank, my fingers resting on the keyboard and waiting for the trigger to send them flying into the future. I'm saying forget it. This weekend, block or no block, I'm writing in my Blogger and making something happen.

Congratulations - it's great to see you bounce back and get over on the people who cavalierly ran you out of a job. You did the right thing by being upfront with the new employer, and were well rewarded.
It'll be great having you writing again, too. As for me, there've been a number of reasons you haven't heard from me in awhile, but I've got a new challenge coming this month: National Novel Writing Month (Nanonwrimo.com), where I'll spend November bashing out 50,000 words (175 pages) over 30 days. It's the kick in the @#$ I need.
P.S. Congrats on UT finally getting past the Sooners (and Oklahoma State tonight after getting way behind early).
