After 3 of the craziest weeks of reflection and drama I recieved a call from my boss who wanted to know how I was doing and to make sure I was not quitting -he then offered me a Regional Operations Director position. We will discuss final details on Monday. Granted I'm really happy but the new position means some adjustments in my life. First travel, specifically to the Northern region of the US. I'm a native Floridian and I've seen snow twice in my life and both times were in Jacksonville, FL and we got barely 1.5 inches. I hated it - it was wet and nasty and muddy and the second time it snowed they had to close all the bridges in town because the city did not have the salt/sand for the machine to coat the bridges and I was trapped overnight at work. I will have to travel to places that have lots more snow than that and that's a major adjustment. Secondly and most emabarrasing is the company truck, which is a stick shift. I cannot drive a stick shift. I'm not really proud of this especially as a Southerner. This is not an obstacle just an admission that I did not want to make publicly, especially to my boss. Wish me luck. Still, I'm really excited about the opportunity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22883798-114090436264439797?l=blkjck0820.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/feeds/114090436264439797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22883798&amp;postID=114090436264439797' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114090436264439797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114090436264439797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/2006/02/strike-up-band_25.html' title='STRIKE UP THE BAND'/><author><name>blkjck0820</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08065132094390182839</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22883798.post-114090255752057297</id><published>2006-02-25T13:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-25T13:22:37.523-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/264/9938/640/LiberaceinHotPantssinglecopy.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000; margin:2px' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/264/9938/200/LiberaceinHotPantssinglecopy.jpg'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STRIKE UP THE BAND!!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'&gt;&lt;img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22883798-114090255752057297?l=blkjck0820.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/feeds/114090255752057297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22883798&amp;postID=114090255752057297' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114090255752057297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114090255752057297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/2006/02/strike-up-band.html' title=''/><author><name>blkjck0820</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08065132094390182839</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22883798.post-114075402560844404</id><published>2006-02-23T20:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-28T11:00:17.270-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MOTIVATION</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/264/9938/640/64226_m_F5B86B5D-2B3D-897A-2B7A2D70B793E27D3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/264/9938/200/64226_m_F5B86B5D-2B3D-897A-2B7A2D70B793E27D3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always been someone who did not need external motivation.

Since it seems that everyone has one of these I figured - why not.  That's one reason, the other would be that I have always had a secret ambition to be a writer but for the last 20 years I got caught up in "making a living" and "keeping my feet on the ground". Now I have realized that life on the ground ain't all its cracked up to be. So what to do now. I'm too old to start over and I'm not exactly unhappy with the way my life turned out - I just wonder how it would have been if I had done a little floating in those clouds. I don't know where this is going but I think my life is WAY overdue for a little shake up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22883798-114068570375417742?l=blkjck0820.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/feeds/114068570375417742/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22883798&amp;postID=114068570375417742' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114068570375417742'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22883798/posts/default/114068570375417742'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blkjck0820.blogspot.com/2006/02/and-so-it-begins.html' title='And so it begins ...'/><author><name>blkjck0820</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08065132094390182839</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
