Finally, secret is out:
Yesterday I received my biggest Christmas surprise and New Year's gift ....I will start a new full-time job with a totally different employer mid-January next year! Yes, it's still a job directly related to my skills/career path, better salary, job is in public sector (I've worked for several different public sector employers before in addition to private sector ones) more sane working hrs., broader range of benefits, abit closer to home. So bye-bye to ungodly very early wake-up time in morning, and on a totally non-career best reason:
I can cycle round-trip everyday in safe cycling seasons (26 kms. round trip) or if weather gets super bad, I get bring bike on Skytrain/commuter train since the bike route is right above for over 50% of the commuter train route.:):):) Yes, I believe there is a subculture of regular cycling commuters among staff at this Head Office location where I will be, employee discount for transit passes, etc.
Now my wrinkles underneath my one eye, can slow down its development. Nearly last 3 years, I swear, my face has aged faster due to current job.
It's like seeing some light at the end of the tunnel...and I will celebrate my 50th birthday also in January just shortly after starting new job.
YAYYYYYY!!!!:):D
