Believe it or not, I’m still at that job!
Not only am I still at the job, but I own my own company and I’ve bought the company I started at, the previous owner having upgraded to Real Estate ( http://www.teambobcat.ca ).
I’ve gone from living in a room (and, at one point, in my car) to renting a house. I can go to the movies or a restaurant any time I want.
Yes, the job is stressful – incredibly so, considering I have ppl’s lives literally in my hands – but it’s a higher class of stress and everything I wanted to try in that post has absolutely come true and more!
The one thing I regret is that I didn’t take time to spend with my BFF – she died two days ago on Friday, January 8, 2021. I don’t regret it in the sense that “I would have done things differently” because she *totally* understood – she, too, was on the go 25hrs a day, 8 days a week, and it was 50/50 who was too busy for us to get together: either I was running like a lunatic to get the services done or she was on the road somewhere that wasn’t Canada. But it would have been nice if she’d lived long enough to do the tour of Europe we talked about.
