First day of work tomorrow after a week. I work for one more week and then I'm on PTO again. Kind of wish I didn't have to work there anymore. I'm worth a lot more than what I have to deal with there, additionally it pays bills and that's it. I appreciate my higher-ups being encouraging and constructive with me, however. Certainly hope I can be through with there in less than a couple of months, but I'm very very doubtful. Even that's too much for me, really, given I've pushed my personal deadline by years. Way overdue. None of my peers had to wait that long to be through with their investment or had better things to fall back on.
I wish the next 10 years would heavily compensate for my sacrifices, and then some. But, I'll be forever confined to my "number" when it comes to ranking and priority. Nothing else, ever.
