So What's Going On With Beo?

[Beowulf]

Last week I disappeared rather quietly without much reason. I did that because I didn't want prying eyes at work (those who moniter our website activity) to get a jump on me. When I'm going to make a move and job change, I want it to be done my way.

That week, I was in Burlington, Vermont, trying out a new job to see if it's something I would like.....and it was. Upon leaving, I accepted the position and accordingly, consulted a realtor and began an aggressive quest for a home. It'll be a mobile home but I've found some nice ones in which to choose from.

Last night, I handed in my resignation at Delta to be effective on the 28th. For a company that has treated it's people so horrible, I never thought I'd feel so low when I spoke with my boss and handed him the letter that took me 3 days to write, as short as it was. The thoughts of the friendships and comraderyship that I had developed over the years means alot to me and that's what was eating me up. Still, my boss smiled and understood and then took a few minutes to talk to me. It was very encouraging.

So as I walk around my apartment, I see all the boxes my wife has already packed, anticipating that all would go well. So much done and even so much more to go. I don't know why but I know I'm doing all of this for the right reasons but I keep asking myself, why doesn't it feel right? Maybe I'm just too worried.

Now you know where I've been and what's up. I will have to diminish my online time to do what is necessary and eventually disappear altogether but I will be back. Thanks for listening, Freecers. It's great having friends such as you all.

My prayers go with you brudder Beo, for a smooth transition, safe traveling mercies for the move, and for all to be a positive factor in your life. Sounds like you have handled things quite admirably. God be with you and guide you as you and your family face this new endeavor.

Blessings, always,
Hms

P.S. Hurry back whenever you can -- we'll keep a few libs on ice for ya to flame when you get where you're going, :smirky:

[dPrasse]

Go for it Beo !
Good job ... Prayers to you and the family ...

[Pendragon_6]

Sorry...can't help it. Just so happy for you and the family!!

Squash those ill feelings. You played your hand. You did so for the right reasons. Time to move on. God Bless you and your family.

Change is uncomfortable. And, this is a huge change, Beo! It is natural to have the welling dread / terror / remorse when you make such changes.

But, as you said, you're the one making the changes. You are taking control of your life, and that is a great thing.

Beo:

I admire what you're doing. Some people don't have the courage to make such a big change.

I quit my job after 10 years. I was fed up with the B.S. and mindgames, too. When I left, I had no idea what I'd be doing or where I'd go, but I knew I had to get the hell out of there. So I just left. No letter. I just stopped showing up. They thought I was dead. LOL

Your situation is better than mine was because you have a job waiting for you. That's smart planning, B.

Your feelings of apprehension are normal because none of us really know what the future holds in store for us. Not only that, it's quite an adjustment to make, but it's a good adjustment.

I think that once you are at your new house and begin to make friends, you'll be happier than ever.

I'm sure your resume is a damn good one, especially after having worked on the big jets. With a resume like that you could work anywhere.

All will go well for you because this is what you want and you made your decision for the right reasons.

I wish you all the best and may the Lord be with you as you prepare for your move.

I look forward to seeing you online soon.

Prayers go with you Beowulf! Packing/moving is SUCH a drag!

[ThomasMore]

May God bless you and watch over you in this career change, Beo.

I fully understand why you are making this change. Since 9/11, there is nothing easy in this industry, and while I still hope for light at the end of the tunnel, it seems to be receding, not growing closer.

Best wishes to you in the very hot real estate industry. I hope you find great success and profit there (profits are easier almost ANYWHERE other than in aviation...but you know the old line about how to make a small fortune in aviation...)* :grin:

Wish the best for ya Beo, hope things get settled quickly and the new job dispell those unease feelings fast as well.

Hugs to ya Beo.

Thanks for the confidence and support, All. Boy do I need it. As we pack and search for a place to move into, it's hard to believe that we have been here for 5 years. I find it harder that I'm leaving a job that I started almost 7 years ago. I still laugh, Delta is losing people to attrition at double the rate they anticipated and don't know how to stop it. They don't see it from a safety standpoint, only one of where are they going to find people to fill in the positions?

Everyone I speak with is curious as to where I'm going, what the new job is like and such. So far, every one of them thinks I'm making a good move and have thought it through. A couple of them even felt that I was one "they would figure to leave." My answer is the usual, "I can take alot but only so much."

The more I hear good things from those around me, the more it helps. Still, I sometimes don't feel that way. Maybe I just need to hear it more to feel good about it.

[dPrasse]

I think we should roast Beo , while he can't defend himself !

[Teenager]

dPrasse, I concur :thumb:.

[Peachdiane]

Bwaahahahahah! Oh no! Roast Beo!

Hmmm.... do I dare????

[Beowulf]

Go right ahead. I'll probably get a kick out of it.

[dPrasse]

Go right ahead. I'll probably get a kick out of it.

I sure hope his new house has room for his spaceships ...

and I hope his neighbors are not internet axe murderers :computer2: :whistle:

[Teenager]

Beo, you don't have to fly to your new home, do you? :D

[dPrasse]

I saw no Real Estate listings in VT that included a "Blood Wine" still ...

[grannygirl]

[Teenager]

[Beowulf]
