Crash

I think everyone knows that things have been rough and unsteady here for a while.  Tomorrow marks the start of my 8th month, and I have to say, that I'm leaving Thanksgiving Farm.  I have unfortunately been pushed out onto an limb - Lakes had put his resignation in and his last day is March 20th.  Peru also leaves at the end of the month, so it is just me.  I cannot get a concrete answer on when/if I'm going to get help again.  And they are not replacing Lake's position.  I can't work here without an assistant.  I would not be able to leave.  Ever.  I'm not going to let whoever would come be by themselves:  1) because I'm a good manager and wouldn't want 206 animals on someone's shoulders, and 2) if something were to happen and I was away, it would be all blamed on me.  

The house that I was also promised has been taken away, and I'd be moving to this little apartment that's attached to a residents' house and would have to share the washer and dryer with them.  The apartment is right on the farm - no space from anything or anyone. 

Lastly, I am no longer on the dairy project.  The CEO wants to hire someone else, someone else with more experience.  He would then be my boss - which knocks me down to assistant.  That broke my heart.  I left everything to come here to start this dairy.  I knew I didn't have the experience, but I trusted that the CEO and my boss knew that, but trusted me, and understood they had to support me in this.  But that they wanted to invest.

So, what does the future hold for me? I don't know.  There are a couple of bright spots on the horizon, one that could lead me back to my home soil.  The other, not as bright as the other right now could lead me to a whole new career.  

The world is my oyster.  It really is.  For the first time in my life, I really do not have  a concrete plan.  It's scary.  But I just have to take it one day at a time.  So, please let me know if you know of any jobs I could apply for!  I have my resume in tip-top shape at the moment :)
