i just got back from my sitdown with the boss. i told him i wasnt happy with my current role, and unhappy with the direction we're going.i told him i was going to go hike for a month or two and when i returned we would talk about me working there again.i need to get some separation so that i can look at my life objectively and see how i want to finish out my career, and i told him it didnt necessarily mean i would not return,just that i needed some time and separation to ensure if i did return, i would bea able to give it 100%he said he understood, that in a way he wishes he could simplify his life the way i have, that he envies me. he told me the door will be open, that i will have a job(he didnt know what capacity)should i choose to return. he knows my love of hiking, and wa supportive in the past of all my trips, and my penchant for disappearing for a few days when things got too hot at work.
so i call my mom to tell her my intention to go hiking. she tells me she took dad for his checkup monday with the eye,ear and throat guy, who found a white growth under his tongue the size of a quarter.cut the whole thing out to send for biopsy to find out if its cancerous or not. dad is now 83,survived a stroke,has bladder cancer already(its contained,not spreading),survived an aortic abdominal aneurism 5 years ago and says he does not want to go for treatments if it does turn out to be malignant.hes been through a lot the past 10 years and hes tired.
boy life is interesting.
lots of crap being flung around here
Sounds like the boss is not a total maroon. Good to have options when you get home.
Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine is the same age and also tired. He's got a great attitude/spirit though, and I will miss him when he passes.
You guys are welcome here if it fits into your schedule coming down. I would love to meet all of you. My daily routine revolves around feeding Dad 3 squares, getting 3 boys to school, sports, etc., and keeping an eye on my daughter, who got her license yesterday. Anyway, I have a lot a free time and if you are of a mind to stop in the area, just let me know. Either way.. happy hiking!
