I have to admit I kind of bailed on this blog thing as soon as I started it, BUT a lot has been going on in the past month. There have been a LOT of changes in mine and Matt’s personal lives recently. I am very happy to say that I have been back at Wegmans, a company I will always love, working part-time for about a month. I absolutely love my new store and everyone I work with, as always. It feels like home again.
I am also ecstatic to announce that Matt has worked very hard and has finally been offered a job in Baltimore with a subsidiary of his current company. Bye-bye snowy cold dreary Buffalo, hello sunshine and warmer weather! Even though it was nearly 15 degrees colder in Baltimore yesterday I believe that was a fluke. Baltimore is usually warmer than New York. You can probably guess that we are really looking forward to this.
We have never experienced metro living, although we got a glimpse of it when we visited my brother who lives in Manhattan this past December. We plan on selling my car, since Matt’s is newer (and more compact since we’re probably going to be dealing with street parking). We are currently in the process of trying to find rental housing in the city of Baltimore without actually living there. Luckily, we have a friend down there who is willing to go above and beyond her call of duty and visit potential dwellings for us (we owe her big time for this!). Hopefully we will find something soon as we are moving in less than 30 days!!!!
So what am I going to do you ask? I am hoping to be able to transfer to a Wegmans in Maryland, although it will definitely be a little bit of a commute which I know won’t be the easiest. There are two different paths I am debating right now:
1. Building my career at Wegmans. There are many things to consider in this: do I want to stay with the company forever? I could start to take the management track, ultimately leading to a service team leader position, then pharmacy team leader, and decide where to go from there.
2. Pursue hospital pharmacy and become a pharmacy technician, the eventual goal being to go back to pharmacy school and become a pharmacist. I realize the very uphill battle in this one. The main question to myself: is it worth it?
I believe that life has a way of working itself out, but I’m also not the type of person to sit back and just let things happen. I know I need to work for whatever I want to do, so I’m just searching for an “a-ha” moment in which I figure out exactly what that is.
For now, I need to simplify my life (and the number of items we own) to prepare for our big move! What an exciting time!
one last thing….I really think baseball is quite boring but I love a good mascot…Go O’s!
A life beyond meaning
