Spring is coming
Spring is coming back
and it brings change!
Last week I felt spring coming. For the first time temperatures crept up to levels actually comfortable, not just bearable, outside. As with every year spring is a time of change. You see nature come back to life, you yourself feel kind of revitalized and full of energy to tackle new goals or old goals you just had on the backburner for some time now.
For me this year Spring brings much more change than usually. It brings change that is directly palpable not just through the way I feel about things, but I actually will move again. It is the first time I move while working. Moving as a working person actually has a uniwue set of difficulties you have to navigate. I know this may be kind of unusual, I will relocate but dont have a job at the new location. I agreed to relocate because my girlfriend got a job there and as its both her first job and because she works in a rather niche field we agreed that it will probably easier for me to get a job where she works now than for her to get a job where I am currently working and she was studying.
This set of conditions brings up some questions: how long should we live apart from each other? Should I keep my old job and move when I also found a job in the new town or should I already set a deadline and just in case move even if I didnt get a job? How quickly should I inform my employer that I plan to quit in the foreseeable future?
Together with spring coming this all creates an athmosphere of uncertainty, but also of opportunity and optimism in me. I did like my old employer, to be fair it is my current employer still but I started to view things differently already and everything feels a bit fleeting now.
Tomorrow I will send the Email to human resources to request an endorsement to attach to my job applications and then it will be out, everyone will know that I wont be there forever anymore. As of today just a few friends know and I feel like standing in front of a threshold feeling both anxious and full of exhilarating anticipation knowing that everything will change in just a few weeks.
I also hope your spring brings good change this year as on a global scale so much turns for the worse maybe on the small and personal scale for you all there is the possibility of something good.
