I resigned from my job for a better job!
Yessir. I resigned from my job for a better job- same field- with much higher pay and a promotion. Plus, it is closer to my home, because it is only me and I am taking care of a parent who has dementia- yes, pray for me- and it is also closer to my University where I am studying law- yes, it is HARD... But I will graduate and head off to bar school by 2025.
All came with prayer and petition to the Father in Heaven. To think I applied to this job last year and even prior to getting my current position, I had applied to the newspaper I am headed to now first. They never responded and my current job did because a guy just up and left without much of a word so they needed someone to fill his role. Amazing ride I've been on since 2019 or so...
But now to the new place I am headed to, someone is leaving for better opportunities and leaving their space for me to fill. Their trash is my treasure. Amazing how these things go!
Oh, it felt goooooodddddd to hang in that letter of resignation. I actually like the managing editor, but you know how these things go. He asked if there was anything he can do to persuade me to stay. I told him if he was willing to move the building closer to my home and University and give me a few extra dollars, I would seriously consider it. lolol... we laughed. He wished me the best and I wished him the best.
I didn't tell my direct supervisor, however, because fuck him. Disgusting pig of a being. I don't hate him or harbour any ill feelings, I just don't give a fuck about him...know what I mean?
:cool:

Good for you.
Take care of your family, dementia can be difficult but nothing better than spending time with your loved ones.

Thank you @Master . It's sad seeing her go through this. One day she was up and the other she was bat-shit crazy. Overnight!

Good on ya bud. Hindsight gives you a few unmistakable things and one is that all of the accolades, certificates and pay raises will never supplement real time. You do not get time or who you do or do not spend it with back. A parent lost within themselves is the hardest thing to face, but we don't stop being sons and daughters.

Yea man. Thanks. My job even offered me more "opportunities," and want to talk things over. The owner emailed me herself. But I know they won't want to match what it is I am being offered. On top of that, the location and proximity to my school and my home/mother is unbeatable at this juncture of my life.

Never thought of that? I may do so... But she is far gone now. A zombie!

That is sad to read but you still have good memories that will never go away.

Always good and needed in spots to go beyond photos if possible. "hearing" them is so beyond a pic. Unfortunately, it doesn't resonate until after exactly how rare audio can be. We went back and realized how many old voicemails we had so started exchanging them. Priceless.

She just stares into space for the most part. She is gone.

Did the doctor confirm this in terms of an official diagnosis? Meaning is it so advanced that it is hopeless?

Diagnosis. I'm just managing a shell of a human being with limited function right now.
