I am so excited I just had to share with you all before I burst! And, boy, does it ever feel good to be back among you all.:cloud9:

I have been blessed with the opportunity to return to the wonderful job I left in June 2005 to pursue a "great career opportunity." I have regretted my decision to leave a perfectly wonderful job since the first day of the "great career opportunity." I have to tell you, that is a very unpleasant feeling. I've even have had to cancel a couple of Disney trips due to my job. One last December the night before departure after checking in for my flight the next morning!:(

A couple of weeks ago I decided I'd had enough with my current position, updated my resume, contacted a search company, and went home to California for a weekend to see my son and daughter-in-law before beginning the search for a new job. As I woke up that Monday morning, June 25, I dreaded beginning the job search but knew I had no choice if I was to keep my sanity.

Well, imagine my total shock and surprise that morning when a friend and former co-worker at the wonderful firm I left in 2005 called me to offer me her position because she's leaving. The rest is history and I return to my "Laughing Place" July 16th!

Life seldom gives us a true 2nd chance and I'm happily and thankfully taking it!

Oh, and, get ready Magical Journeys! I'm about to schedule some Disney trips that I'll actually be able to take!!:mickey:

Thank you everyone for the congrats and well wishes:mickey: It is impossible to articulate how happy and peaceful I am these days.:cloud9:

Well, guess what! I got an email from my soon-to-be HR manager this morning approving a vacation day for me on Tuesday, Sept. 4. Yep! This means I'm going to DisneyWorld! I just emailed Wendy at Magical Journeys to get the ball rolling! I am going to take the 7:15 p.m. flight out after work on Friday, Aug. 31 and return late afternoon, Tuesday, Sept. 4. LOL, these folks at my "new/old" job know well my Disney-mania.:thumbsup:

I'm telling you, when I went back up to the office on 6/28 to sign some papers it was like a time warp. I got off the elevator to the same receptionist and conference room coordinator, saw the same people, got so many hugs I couldn't count 'em, and the same sweet security guard was at the security booth in the lobby and happy called out to me as I walked in. It was incredible! LOL, I pinched myself for more than a week before I believed it was all really happening.:blush:

I even got a call last night from one of the partners that I worked for before and will be working with again. He just wanted to tell me how happy he was I was coming back to work with him.

Nothing in life is PERFECT but being truly happy and treated well at work definitely makes life GOOD!

Again, thanks to all of you for your kind posts. You know what? It feels just as awesome to be back with you all on Intercot planning a Disney trip!:thumbsup:
