New new job

So this is an unexpected post.

After my first new job offer I received a better offer and then a counter offer from my current job. I was so flattered. I took the second offer and left the brand new little firm that was so good to me when the chips were down. I'll never forget it. I just wanted the chance to make my career into something spectacular, to grow and learn and improve myself beyond what I was. I didn't have that opportunity at the other small firm. It was the same work, and yes, I would have had a good mentor and a great boss and a job I knew how to do and an expansion into HR but I wanted to be a better lawyer. So I jumped, having absolutely no idea what was on the other side. And I am so glad I did. I am now working on much larger matters and I have a specialty. I have another good boss - I don't know what kind of alternate reality this is - and great co-workers. I don't know how I landed on my feet so well. I almost can't believe that after 18 months of hell and torture that I finally get to breathe again and stop stressing all the time and look after myself. I feel like a different person. I'm not quite myself yet, but I might get there. I'll let you know.
