This is my 4th company relocation...
The 1st one was straight out of college with very little belongings, but new job, new town...
Just a bit stressful for a 21-year-old starting out in the world...
The 2nd (and 3rd) was a bit easier...
Same company in the same job...just moving office/home locations.
I did a personal move between the 2nd and 3rd...
I must admit - I prefer being moved as a part of a relocation and not having to pack/move/unpack all of it myself...
Now, we are in the middle of the 4th!
I must admit - this has been the most stressful move of all of them. As I was about to pull out my hair over the anxiety, I realized the number of things that we are going through right now.
Retiring from a job...
Starting a new job...
Reliving the "goodbye" of a loved one due to legal issues...
Buying our two vehicles...
Arranging for extended warranty on said vehicles...
Selling a house - in the winter...
Buying a house - in a crazy market...
Moving insurances...
Waiting on a parking spot (the joys of working downtown)...
Living in corporate living - a 2-bedroom apartment with a queen size bed is a challenge...
(NOTE - all furnished apartments should have a soup ladle, whisk and 9x13 casserole)
If something isn't on the To Do list or a reminder on the family calendar, then it doesn't get done.
If it doesn't go smooth the first time, then a colorful word is coming out of my mouth.
And I realized that everything (including my job) is really data focused right now...
Which may be why I feel like I am crawling out of my skin.
I am 50/50 right brain/left brain...
I have to have both data and creativity to be balanced and I am not balanced right now.
So, I opened the ole blog and started creating some words...
And I hope that this will help bring me back in balance...
And if that doesn't work, then later this weekend, I get to take pictures of our youngest grand's birthday celebration...
Until the next creativity need arises...
Namaste.
