holy snowballs…I have been gone forever

HI Tumblr!! Remember me? I am that girl who used to write things on here then disappeared about a month ago…

But I will at least say on my behalf that I disappeared for good reason, as some of you with an excellent memory may recall I was laid off from what I referred to as “Doom Island”.

It was the second best thing that ever happened to me in my life, trumped only by being born. Do you think I’m kidding? Cause I’m not.

I tried my best to keep a positive attitude during my lay-off (which wasn’t too hard seeing as I hated, hated, hated my old job) and OH MY GOSH did my positivity pay off. I found a job with what I believe more and more everyday to be theverybestcompanyinthewholewideworld to work for.

I worked on Doom for over 4 years and it was my first job out of college. It was a negative environment that made me believe a whole bunch of bad things including 1. I hated working 2. I was not good at work 3. My life was being squandered away in a cubicle and 4. It had me doubting my self worth.

I cannot believe what the difference of a good job can do to your spirit. I used to read on here about people who loved their jobs and think, they just love working, I will never be that person, no matter how much someone pays me or what I am doing I’ll always hate to work. I was so, so wrong.

I can honestly say now that I love my job. I love it SO much. I feel good about what I do, I work much longer hours than I have to and I love doing it (I am going to work a little more after this), and when I am not working, I don’t worry about it because I know I am going to get back 10 fold of what I put in.

People at my job encourage happiness and laughter, the whole place thrives on it and a sense of humor is the backbone of the company. The term “work hard play hard” was thrown around on Doom but it is actually put into action here. People respect each other and trust people to be adults and get their work done - you will not find corporate micromanagement and yelling bosses here.

So I hope that extra long overly wordy mess of gushing about my new job has not left anyone feeling depressed about where they are working (as it would have left me if I read this on Doom) I truly hope you all love your jobs the way I do now, but if you don’t…come work with me!
