After Twenty- Four Years
After 24 years in my current position, I am looking for something different. We recently moved to Lake Charles, LA and fighting the traffic and train to get to work has become worrisome. I am at a point in my life where I am simplifying everything, thus explains our move and downsizing. I have several skills and job titles from the past 24 years. Writing and communicating are my specialties. English Education was my major, so I am a proofreader for several. I love people ! I love old people, little people, young people. Honestly, the thought of being cooped up in an office for 24 more years irritates me. Helping others and communicating is a desire of mine for my future. I no longer want to me enclosed. I have 3 athletic sons that keep us very busy. I enjoy sporting events, gardening, and my 3 dogs. I have very few complaints with my current job, I'm not looking to leave for any reason other than to spend my next 24 years of the workforce actually doing something enjoyable and helpful.
Angela, I am all too familiar with Lake Charles, LA. I am not sure what you do professionally, however, maybe you could work in a school reading to kindergartners or first graders. You could volunteer at a hospital helping the elderly or even nursing homes. Nursing homes always need help. Whatever your desire to move towards, good luck; I am sure you will find something that suits your interest.
