For about a week I knew that September 30th was going to be the day I was going to have to give my boss some bad news... That I was leaving Websense and heading to LA for a new job and to be with Jake. My boss is awesome and he knows the stress we've been dealing with for the last couple years going back and forth between LA & SD, but I wasn't sure what his or the company's reaction was going to be.
I spent a week pretty much freaking myself out... Was my boss going to be mad, was Websense going to walk me out right then and there, were they going to tell me to finish up the day and leave... I honestly was very clueless with what as going to happen so when the day finally arrived I was a wreck.
At about 2pm I decided it was time to make the call... It was quarter end so the last thing I wanted to do was stress out my boss and the sales team but I figured I couldn't wait any longer. So I took my cell phone and went on the balcony and called my boss and told him the news. To my surprise he took it really well but didn't want to let me go that easily, he asked what he could do to get me to stay or work remotely but at this point in my life I didn't think that would be a good decision for me. I told him that this was the hardest decision I have ever had to make and that I am sticking with it and going to make a big change... new job, new city, new place to live... Lots of "NEWS."
After I broke the news to him he asked that I stay with the company for another couple weeks to help with the transition of my accounts... I would work remotely for the first week in October because the entire Canada team was headed to meetings in Canada and I'd finish up at work Oct 14th as my last day.
So after all the "bad news" and a very stressful day I went home and much to mine and Jake's surprise we had gotten out apartment!!! It was official... I had accepted a new job, put in my 2 week at my old job and had gotten accepted to rent the apartment we wanted!
What a week... I'm really moving to Hermosa!
