I sit at an impasse.
I feel redundant. I am redundant.
Those words sit heavily on my shoulders. I feel like Atlas. The world around me darkens and my hand shakes ever so slightly as I sign the document that cements the words.
A business decision. Decision made. And like that I’m gone.
But the impasse continues…
I tweet. I blog. I’m the social worker. Not a social worker but the social worker.
The next generation of worker.
My job, my life, everything feels connected to one another. But how do I write about something like this without causing ripples. One affects the other.
I guess today is Day One of something new. New adventure. New beginning…and the hunt for a new job.
It’s funny. On my Twitter account @scottrhodie I have had the term ‘kilt for hire’ as part of my bio for as long as I can remember. I think I had it on my bio from the day I started using Twitter – and earlier this week I use it to create this blog.
Now here I am an actual kilt for hire. Only not literally. Well not unless you dry-clean it after use and look after it and don’t mess up my sporran.
Sorry if this feels like a ramble but my mind is all over the place at the moment. When you are not expecting something like that it kinda smacks you between the eyes and leaves you bewildered.
Hmm, maybe I should do a list?
