I’ve been at my place of employment for over a decade. Let’s break the numbers and see what a decade is.
- 315,360,000 seconds
- 52,560,00 minutes
- 87,600 hours
- 3650 days
In todays world that’s an eternity to be at place of employment. I’m comfortable there. I’m well like and very well respected. I’m in a great position of being the only small group medical underwriter. Granted I have also given a lot to the company including countless overtime hours that I’ll never get paid due to me being on salary. I’ve even worked a couple of Thanksgiving mornings and a Christmas as well. I believe in my company. My job is who I am, and with no living family members, it’s the only thing I have left in this life and I’m not subject to change.
BUT NONE OF THAT MEANT ANYTHING WHEN I SIGNED MY RESIGNATION LETTER THIS WEEK. 
Yeah that’s right. I took a job with a local company, while it’s a different form of insurance, I’m still underwriting which is what I know I do well. So I’m in the process of using my remaining vacation days. My last day is 10/31/07 heh. I start my new job the following Monday. Once I signed that acceptance letter and faxed it in to my new employer it seemed the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders, at least for the time being.
Congratulations! I hope everything works out for you . You deserve it .
315 million seconds. Wow. That inspires me to calculate my job time. I’ll have to get back to you. Congrats on your new job.
