November 2024


It has been a long month.

I spent the first half trying to exit my old job, we went back and forth a bit with them trying to keep me on staff but in the end I just had to walk away.

In the latter half, I was overwhelmed and exhausted by the new job. It includes a longer commute (nothing really, but it changes your day when you have to add that time) and, frankly, an insane amount of paper, er, information to take in. My brain is trying to learn all new things at a fast pace, and by the end of two weeks, I am honestly wondering if I have made a poor choice in taking this new job.

I know this change is something I’ll get used to, and I’ll learn what I need to as time goes on, but after being in the same job for 20 years, I was very comfortable in my knowledge, and my job was, if not easy, straightforward.

As well as having to learn all this new information I also have to hang out with all new people, which may be more exhausting than the work itself. I’m an introvert at heart, and while I can extrovert when necessary, it drains so much energy. The combination of these factors is leaving me feeling fatigued by the end of the day and completely burned out by the end of the week. I’m looking forward to a time when things start to feel easy again but I fear that may take a while.

Is it too late to start my life over again as the heir to some immense generational wealth?
