Seriously?

I seriously had a terrible day Tuesday. Not only was it cycle day 1 with 3 PG announcements but I also found out my time off for vacation in July has been blocked by our new CEO. The credit union that I work for is getting a new core processor around August 1st and our CEO has blocked all vacations two weeks prior until two weeks after. I know I should not take this personally but I am! I have taken the same 8 days off for the last 5 years. There is a big group of us that camp up in Indian River, MI for 10 days. This is my only vacation I take from the CU and we make our reservations for the following year before we leave each summer! It is an awesome trip. I look forward to this trip all year long. I am so bummed! My wonderful hubby suggested I quit! "And do what?" I asked? "Maybe we could become foster parents. You could be a stay-at-home foster mom." "Seriously?" I asked?


Seriously, I was blown away. Those were the last words I expected to hear from his lips.


For now, it's just a thought. I like my job and I like what I do but I don't love it. I take pride in what I do and I try my hardest but it is a dead-end job, literally. The only way I can go anywhere in it is if the branch manager is no longer there. And that isn't happening anytime soon. So, I coast doing what I have done for the last 11 1/2 years. I am hoping maybe one day we'll grow enough to be made an assistant but for now that is nowhere in sight.

Don't get me wrong. I am so thankful to have a job in this day and age. I think I may just be bored with it.


Sigh. I had better start getting ready for work. Again.
