I Sometimes Wish.....

I sometimes wish I had someone to go to go to dinner with.
I sometimes wish I lived in LA or Orange County so I could have season tickets to the Lakers.
I sometimes wish that I had someone else to be my primary source of income so I could do what I enjoy or at least something that would make a difference.
I sometimes wish that I had different genetics.
I sometimes wish that I could see God face to face and ask him a few questions.
I sometimes wish that I had a different personality.
I sometimes wish that I could go to the ocean and lay in the sand every weekend.
I sometimes wish that my best was good enough.
I sometimes wish that personality was more important than looks.
I sometimes wish that I would get flowers delivered to me at work.
I sometimes wish I had a more positive outlook on life.
I sometimes wish I knew what I wanted to do for a living before I went to college.
I sometimes wish I could go back in time and change things.
I sometimes wish I didn't have to work so hard to achieve success.
I sometimes wish I wasn't me...........

Decisions, Decisions

So as some of you know I'm an auditor right now but it is a contract position and my contract will be expiring in approximately 3 months. This is very sad news for me because I love what I do, I don't necessarily love going to work every day but who does. So I have a decision to make....where do I go next? I have a few options none of which I am too excited about but options nonetheless. I can apply for a management development program which is going to be very hard to get in to but would hopefully result in a supervisor position, work for another department or go back to total loss. There is one other idea that I have been toying around with more so in the very back of my mind. I have considered relocating for a better job opportunity (with the same company) and as a bonus possibly a new lease on life. I know that some will be very upset to see that I'm even considering this option but to continue to develop my career it may be my only option. So what am I going to do you ask?? I have absolutely no idea!!! Change is scary and we as humans don't like change and tend to resist it.

On a side note an update from a previous blog (from I don't know when). I mentioned that I am using the "snowball effect" to pay off debt and things are going well. My eye surgery is officially paid off and I am now working on my smaller credit card and have developed a significant savings (this was a bonus wasn't planning on doing this until the debt was paid off). I know that I love budgeting and making budgets (mostly for households) it makes me very happy. I recently met with a very good friend and planned a budget to pay off their debt. So.....I mention this because if any of you out there are interested in what I am doing or how please let me know I would be happy to share or help! Thanks for reading!
